Assalamualaikum & Good day

To our valued students,

Please be informed that effective from Trimester 1, 2009/2010, Supplementary Examination will be deferred to the Final Examination on the following trimester.

For example, student who fails in the Final Examination in Trimester 1, 2009/2010 and is granted supplementary (F* or FL* or I grade), will sit for the supplementary examination together with the Final Examination on Trimester 2, 2009/2010.

The details on the implementation are as follows:-

i) The Final Examination result (F* and FL*) is deemed valid for the GPA/CGPA calculation which is equivalent to F and FL respectively. Thus, the result can be used for the submission to the sponsors or any other parties.

ii) Student with F* and FL* can be terminated since the credit hour is counted for GPA and CGPA calculation. Student with terminated status is not eligible to sit for Supplementary Examination until s/he is approved for reinstatement.

iii) The supplementary result will be counted in the trimester when the student sits for the supplementary examination. Referring to the above example, the result will be calculated in Trimester 2, 2009/2010. The highest grade one can achieve is C (2.000 point).

iv) Student with “I” grade, Rules No. 8 on Grading System is still applicable i.e. student with CON and “I” grade cannot be terminated. However, there is an additional clause as below:
“Senate reserves the right to terminate “I” students on case to case basis”

v) Student may choose not to sit for the supplementary examination by filling up a Withdrawal for Supplementary Offer Form and the completed form must be submitted to ERU Office. An announcement will be published on the Bulletin Board.

vi) Graduating students or Foundation / IELP students to be approved to Beta / Foundation but pending due to supplementary subject(s), are required to apply for Leave of Absence (LOA) from the faculty

vii) Students who are on Leave of Absence are also applied to the above rules.

viii) Students who don’t attend the Supplementary Examination due to valid reason(s) acceptable by BOE/Senate, will be granted F** or FL** which is equivalent to F or FL, respectively. The details for F** and FL** are as below:-
