Course Fulfillment, Major GPA, Major Upper GPA, Degree Conferment and Degree Certificate

Dear Graduating Students,

As you are about to graduate after completion of studies in 2024-25 Term 1, kindly take note of the following information and take appropriate actions as appropriate.

1.

Check Fulfillment of Course Requirements

Please select “Academic Progress” under CUSIS to check the “Advisement Report” and “In-Progress Report” under “My Academic Requirements” and “Planner”, respectively, to confirm if you still have any outstanding requirement(s) for graduation.  If you still have outstanding University/ Major Programme requirement(s) at the moment, you will NOT be able to graduate in 2024-25 Term 1.  You may still apply for change of expected graduation term using the application form on RES homepage by 31 December 2024.

Please also check under “My Academics” whether related academic records e.g., 2nd Major, Minor(s), Concentration(s)/ Stream of study of the Major Programme are correct.  You MUST report to RES by 31 December 2024 if there is any discrepancy.  Late report will NOT be accepted once the graduation results have been released.

For those who cannot fulfill the course requirements for the declared Minor Programme(s), they may still cancel the Minor Programme(s) on CUSIS by 31 December 2024.  If they do not do so, they will receive email from RES around mid-February 2025 notifying the cancellation of their unfulfilled Minor Programme(s).

2.

Check Major GPA and Major Upper GPA

The grades for 2024-25 Term 1 will be released on 10 January 2025.  Please check your Major GPA and Major Upper GPA in the “Advisement Report” under CUSIS after the release of grades, as well as the courses that have been included in the calculation of Major GPA/ Major Upper GPA, especially if you have applied for course substitution/ equivalence.  As Major GPA is one of the criteria for determination of honours classification, you MUST report to RES by 27 January 2025 at the latest if you find any error or have any queries about the GPA shown under your “Advisement Report” in CUSIS.  Late report will NOT be accepted under any circumstances.

Please also note that you must re-run the “Advisement Report” and check your updated Major GPA/ Major Upper GPA again if there is a change in grade(s) in your Major course(s).

3.

Grade Appeal/ Pending Requirements for Graduation

Students MUST observe the grade appeal period which is within 2 weeks from the grade release date.  Any grade appeal made after the specified grade appeal period will NOT be accepted.  Students should proactively follow up with the course teachers concerned for any pending grades after the grade release date.  For students with pending grades/documents/records (e.g. outstanding course grades, official transcripts for course and unit exemption for outgoing exchange students, unresolved disciplinary action) at the time of graduation assessment, their degree conferment will be postponed to the next degree conferment date, that is 31 July 2025.

4.

Release of Degree Honours Classification Results, Degree Conferment Date and Degree Certificate Distribution Date

For students without any pending graduation requirements/records in the period of graduation assessment from mid-January to late February 2025, their degree honours classification result will be released on RES homepage on 11 March 2025 and they will have their degree conferred on 31 March 2025.  Their degree certificate will be available for collection from 9 April 2025.  Please note our relevant announcement on RES homepage for details.
