You CANNOT use the S/U option for Technical Complementaries, Lab Complementaries, Complementary Courses in Architecture, Elective courses in Electrical, Computer, & Software, or courses in any other category of the Engineering programs.

  • Under no circumstances can you use this option for a REQUIRED course or for courses to be used to satisfy the requirements for a MINOR.聽
  • Engineering/Architecture students should be aware that a C grade must be achieved in order to pass a course under the University Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Option. However, the Faculty of Engineering accepts a D grade as a pass in a complementary course ONLY when the course is taken in the conventional manner (D grade appears). Reminder: once a grade has been submitted under the option, the option will not be reversed under any circumstances.
  • Only one course (3 credits) per term, to a maximum of 10% of a student's credits taken at 平特五不中 may be taken this way.
  • Grades will be reported in the normal fashion by instructor and those grades of a C will be converted to Satisfactory and grades of D and F will be converted into Unsatisfactory.
  • The courses taken under this option will be excluded from the GPA, but they will be included in the number of credits.

Note: To be considered for awards/scholarships/renewal of awards, students must complete at least 27 credits in the regular academic session, exclusive of courses completed under this option.
