Students are not allowed to defer their assessments. Only Singaporean males required to attend National Service (NS) call-ups on exam dates are eligible for exam deferment, as are people with valid medical certification or on compassionate leave. All deferments must be supported by documentary evidences at the point of application.

Students have to achieve a competent grade of “C” to pass the module. No student will be allowed to re-take a module for which they have been assessed “Competent”. Two (2) re-assessment opportunities are available for students who are not yet competent for the module. Students will be required to be re-assessed within the course duration. The grading for academic courses is in accordance with the accrediting organization’s requirement.

Students will be required to retake the module (also refer to as Re-Module) and attend class when the retake opportunities are exhausted.
