NG Policy:
Any student who has an overall failing grade, and who has failed to attend the lectures regularly (min 80%)
will be given the NG grade.
Make-Up Policy:
Students missing an examination should provide a valid excuse within three days following the
examination they missed. No separate make-up exams are administered for midterm and final
exams. Re-sit examination are administered as make-up examinations, instead.
