Course Registration
Registration Period
All graduate students are to register for the course(s) they
wish to study through the Graduate Student Link System
(GSLink).
Students who fail to register a course and yet proceed to
attend classes in that course, will not be allowed to take the
examination in that course. No grade will be awarded if the
course has no formal examination.
It is the responsibility of students to register course(s)
themselves and ensure that the courses are correctly
registered.
Students must register for and finalised their courses during
their allocated registration period, after which adding and
dropping of courses is disallowed. Please refer to the class
time-table when selecting courses to avoid clashes in
schedules.
Important
A course dropped within the registration period will not appear
in the student’s result slip and official transcript. However, for
a course that has not been dropped within the registration
period, the student will be deemed to have sat and failed the
course and a fail grade will be reflected in the result slip and
official transcript if he fails to take the examination for which he
is eligible to sit.
Coursework Students
Academic unit (AU) requirement:
Students should refer to the AU system to check for the AU
required for the coursework component of study. Those who
have fulfilled their programme AU requirements are not
allowed to register for additional course.
