Completion Requirements

Students are required to fulfill the following requirements for course completion. Failure to fulfill any of these requirements will result in receiving an INC (with passing standing) or 5.0 (with failing standing) in the course

• Submit half of the SEs offered throughout the semester
  • If the SE has multiple components, each component is counted as one of the SEs for this purpose.
  • E.g. SE01 which has two components SE01A and SE01B, are counted as two for this requirement. Hence, you can opt to submit SE01A, SE01B, none, or all of them.
• Submit the MidP
• Submit the CP
