Course Structure

⋆｡°✩ To earn a minor in your General Elective (GE), make sure to choose the same GE subject throughout your degree! You can only get a minor degree if you complete the 4th year, as it requires taking the same GE subject for 7 semesters.
(My suggestion: Pick one GE subject for all your first 6 semesters so you are not stressing about it in your 4th year!) ✩°｡⋆

Essential Repeat (ER) & Improvement Rules

⋆｡°✩ What happens if you get an 'F' or want to improve your grade? ✩°｡⋆

If you ONLY need to fix your Theory Exam...

If you got an 'F' in Theory but passed your Practical/Tutorials: You DO NOT need to re-register for classes! Just appear for the end-term theory exam next year for your Essential Repeat (ER).
If you passed, but want to Improve your Theory marks (and are satisfied with your IA marks): Just appear for the theory exam again next year. No classes needed!
