With the University's move to broaden the students
learning experience through re-designing and
injecting greater breadth into the curriculum,
we would like to encourage you to select and
read broadening courses out of passion rather
than the level of difficulty. With effect from
AY 2005-06, the S/U Option Policy will allow
students to declare up to 10% of their courses
not to be included in the computation of cumulative
GPA (CGPA). Students can exercise the S/U option
anytime during the four year course period.

Declaration of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option
(System starts at 9.30am and closes at 10.00pm
daily)
Some important points to take note of:
- The grades of the courses chosen will not
count towards the GPA. The maximum AU allowed
for the S/U option is 12 AU.
- Only courses under GER-PE and UE are allowed.
Prescribed Electives (ie. GER-PE): This
includes courses categorised into 3 sub-areas
of studies relating to Art, Humanities & Social
Sciences [ie. GER-PE(AHSS)]; Business &
Management [ie. GER-PE(BM)]; and Science, Technology & Society
[ie. GER-PE(STS)]. These areas represent the
key fields of knowledge broadly relevant to
all professions.
Each sub-area comprises a range of courses
for flexibility of choices.
Examples are HP801 Mind Over Stress, EE8084
Cyber Security
Unrestricted Electives (ie. UEs): These
are courses chosen by students to broaden their
learning experience. They are normally courses
outside the main disciplinary study such as those
offered by the General Studies Unit (GSU), Division
of Chinese of HSS and the Schools.
Examples are GS05 Applied Psychology in the Workplace
and CH04 Japanese Culture Through Chado

- The option is not applicable to courses
which are tied to Minor and Second Major programmes.
Students who wish to pursue a Second Major
or Minor cannot exercise the S/U Options for
the courses under these programmes.
- Only those who would like to exercise the
option need to access the online system to
do so. Those who (1) do not wish to exercise
the option and those who (2) do not have any
subject to opt for S/U, do not have
to access the system.
