Academic Load
All students must register their courses through the
Student Automated Registration System (STARS)
according to the schedule announced by the Office of
Academic Services.
Students who join any classes without registration will not
be allowed to take the examination(s) for the course(s)
involved.
Students with outstanding tuition and hostel rental fees
will be denied access to STARS and barred from course
registration. Students must pay their outstanding fees
before registering courses.
Students may add or drop any course provided this is
done within the add/drop period as announced by the
Office of Academic Services.
A course that is dropped during the add/drop period will
not appear in the official transcript. A student who is still
registered for a course after the add/drop period but did
not subsequently sit for the examination will be deemed to
have read and failed the course. An 'F' will appear on his
official transcript.
In order to complete the degree requirements within the
normal specified period of candidature, full-time students
at NTU are expected to carry an academic load of 16 to 18
AU#/21 AU* per semester.
Subject to approval by the Chair concerned, students may
be allowed to take up to 3 AU#/8 AU* more or less
than the normal semester academic load to enable them
to pursue their studies at a pace commensurate with their
needs and/or capabilities.
Final Year students who have failed any core course which
is not offered in the semester following the failure may be
permitted to take the failed course(s) as restricted
repeat(s). This arrangement is available only for Final Year
core courses which students cannot replace with any other
courses offered in the following semester. Additionally,
only Final Year students deemed to have sufficient
academic units to meet graduation requirements will be
eligible for restricted repeat(s).
