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

Dear Graduating Student,

As you are expected to graduate in 2^nd term 2022-23, kindly take note of the following information and take appropriate actions if necessary.

1.

Check Fulfillment of Course Requirements

Please select “Academic Progress” under CUSIS to run the “Advisement Report” and “In-progress Report” to check if you still have any outstanding requirement(s) for graduation under “My Academic Requirements” and “Planner”, respectively.  You may still apply for change of expected graduation term using the application form on RES homepage by 31 May 2023 if you cannot fulfill all graduation requirements by this 2^nd term and Summer Session of 2022-23.

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 contact RES by 31 May 2023 if there is any discrepancy.

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 May 2023.  If they do not do so, they will receive email from RES around late June 2023 notifying the cancellation of their unfulfilled Minor Programme(s).

2.

Check Major GPA and Major Upper GPA

The grades for 2^nd term 2022-23 will be released on 1 June 2023.  Please check your Major GPA and Major Upper GPA in the “Advisement Report” under CUSIS after the release of grades.  You MUST check the courses that are included in the calculation of Major GPA/ Major Upper GPA, especially for those students who 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 19 June 2023 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 should be 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 at the time of graduation assessment (e.g. outstanding course grades, official transcripts for course and unit exemption for outgoing exchange students, unresolved disciplinary action), the release of their graduation results will be in mid-August or later.

4.

Release of Degree Honours Classification Results and Degree Conferment Date
