Academic Information
A regular module of 4 modular credits is typically made up of 13 one-day learning engagements across 13 academic weeks. Modules with less than 4 modular credits may have less than 13 learning engagements. You may refer to Republic Polytechnic’s Academic Calendar here.
Module Grade
Each Module Grade (MG) will comprise 3 components, namely Continuous Assessment (CA), Final Assessment (FA) and Self-Directed and Collaborative Learning (SDCL). All CA, FA and SDCL grades will be accounted for in the module grade computation.
*This is applicable to regular modules on Letter Grades Scheme. For Pass/Fail module with 2 or 4 modular credits, CA and SDCL grades will be accounted in the computation of the module grade. For Pass/Fail module with 1 modular credit, assessment of SDCL may be excluded.
Attendance
Attendance at all scheduled classes and assessments are compulsory. Students who are unable to attend class(es) or Summative Assessment(s) because of illness covered by a Medical Certificate (MC) or other reasons as acceptable by RP may apply for a Leave of Absence (LOA) within a stipulated period.
Students are expected to be punctual for all lessons and assessments and should make allowances for heavy traffic and other causes of delay and to ensure they arrive for their lessons and assessments on time. For Summative Assessments, students who arrive at the assessment venue 15 minutes or more after the assessment start time will be prohibited from taking the assessment.
For further details on academic matters, students are strongly advised to read the information available in the Student Handbook.
