| Subject Exemptions
for Polytechnic Graduates |

| Guidelines
for Exemptions |
Generally, Polytechnic graduates may be
exempted from up to one academic year's equivalent of
workload, inclusive of full exemption from
Professional Internship, if applicable.
Exemptions should preferably be for skills-based
subjects such as Publication Design, Web Design
and Technologies where such skills could be
easily transferable and learnt. Certain introductory
subjects to Journalism, Electronic and Broadcast
Media, Promotional Communication and Communication
Research may be exempted for those with Mass
Communication background.
Exemptions from conceptual subjects are not encouraged
as the level and contents covered are different from those
at the Polytechnics even though subject titles may be
the same.
Exemptions may be for specific Core subjects (the lower level only) or Prescribed
Electives if they are relevant in contents. Otherwise,
the exemptions may be applied towards fulfilling General
Electives requirements.
Exemptions may also be granted for Professional Internship
(PI) if the internship done during the Polytechnic days
is relevant to studies at SCI. Such exemption may be full
or partial and may include any after-graduation jobs that
Polytechnic graduates have been working in. However, this
does not automatically apply to every Polytechnic graduate
with a mass communication or related diploma. Full or
partial exemption refers to six or three months' exemptions
respectively, without variations, and is determined by
the relevance and period of internship and/or jobs done.
If partial exemption is granted, Polytechnic graduates
will complete the remaining PI duration of three months
during the University vacation.
Note that subject exemptions are granted on a case-by-case
basis with grades obtained from the Polytechnics and changes
to the School curriculum forming part of the basis for
exemptions. Please note that students who wish to submit their applications for course exemption should do so at the start of the first semester of each academic year. |

| Notes
for Students Who Wish to Accelerate and Graduate in 3
or 3½ Years |
Students should indicate their
choice of primary concentration during the second semester
of the first year of study, around March/April. This is
to prepare for registration of Year 2 subjects in June.
Students who are granted full PI exemption should plan to take the higher level Core subject and Prescribed Electives
early as some classes may not be offered during the second semester when the third-year students are on PI attachment.
Students should start sourcing for their Final Year Project
topics and supervisors during the second semester of the
second year of study. |
