Special Terms 

 

Participation in Special Term is optional and only full time matriculated students of NTU are allowed to participate. Participants should note the followings:

  • Students who are only left with GERPE/UE AU to fulfil in order to graduate at the end of this AY and are reading courses in special term II to complete their degree requirements will NOT be able to join the Convocation this year.
  • Students will be required to declare that they will not be away during the Special Term classes for activities such as In-Camp Training (ICT), attachment, sports, holiday, part time employment etc before they place courses on waitlist. The University will not issue any supporting document for use to excuse students from the said activities or defer from ICT.
  • Students who drop their courses after the Add/Drop or did not sit for the examination will be deemed to have sat and failed the course. A grade 'F' will be reflected in the examination transcript.
  • As the duration of the Special Terms is short and the classes conducted are intensive, students are not allowed to apply for Leave of Absence if they are registered for a course.
  • In order to avoid misunderstanding, students are strongly advised to check their courses registered in STARS (and not EdveNTUre) to ensure that their records are correct.
