For students matriculated in AY2016/2017 and onwards
In general, students may exercise the S/U option for up to 32 MCs in the first two regular semesters; if this is not fully utilised, the S/U option may still be exercised in subsequent semesters, for up to 12 MCs.
Variations on the limit of S/U options that can be exercised may apply for specific groups of students, such as the following:
- Students without prior university experience but are granted 20 or more Advanced Placement Credits (APCs) at the point of admission to NUS may exercise the S/U option for up to 20 MCs in the first two regular semesters; if this is not fully utilised, the S/U option may still be exercised in subsequent semesters, for up to 12 MCs.
- Students with some prior university experience (which are being recognised towards the NUS degree) may exercise the S/U option for up to 12 MCs anytime during their candidature, including the first two regular semesters.
- Students with a prior university degree are not eligible for the grade-free scheme.
The S/U option will apply to all Level 2000 USP modules with the exception of WCT and QRF modules. All WCT and QRF modules are not eligible for S/U.
