Minor Programmes for Undergraduate Students

2. Due to the limitation of quotas and class schedules, students will not be guaranteed a
place on any Minor course.
3. Year 2/3 Entrants can express their intention to pursue a Minor upon admission
registration in late August.

Minor Programme Enrolment and Declaration
1. Students enrolled on a Minor will start to take Minor courses from Year 2.
2. Double counting of overlapping courses (with Major) is allowed for up to 6 credits. These
credits will only count once towards the total credits attained by the student. Exceeding
this limit of 6 credits, students should take replacement courses chosen from the list of
Minor courses to fulfil the Minor credit requirement.
3. Credit transfer for Minor courses from prior recognised academic study or study abroad
should not exceed 6 credits, and is subject to the discretion of the Head of Department of
the student’s chosen Minor Programme.
4. Students will be invited to declare the progress of the completion of Minors in the second
semester of Year 3 via Moodle. Those who have completed 60% or more will be given
priority in Year 4 to register for courses to complete their Minors.
5. Students who have completed or are on the verge of completing their Minors will be
required to make a formal declaration to the Registry via Moodle in the Second Semester
of Year 4 by the stipulated deadline (usually in March of the year).
6. Students must pass all Minor courses for graduation with a Minor.
7. Year 3 and 4 students are prohibited from enrolling in Level 1 course(s) for Minor option
except in special circumstances approved by the Head of Department.
8. In the case of students who do not declare a Minor before the stipulated deadline and
students who withdraw from or discontinue the Minor, courses already completed for the
Minor will be counted as free electives.
9. Minors completed will be specified in the Academic Transcript, but not on the Graduation
Certificate.
