Courses And Course Status

What are compulsory, required and elective courses?

  1. A course tagged compulsory must be taken and passed at not less than 40% level.
  2. A course tagged required must be taken and passed at not less than 30% level.  
  3. A course tagged elective may be taken but need not to be passed.
  4. Prerequisite course: A prerequisite course is one that must be taken before a higher level course i.e., it is a course which knowledge is essential prior to  taking another specified course. Whereas a prerequisite course is expected to be completed and passed to fulfill prerequisite requirement, a student who fails a prerequisite is deemed to have satisfied the prerequisite purposes but will not be credited with any unit in it.
  5. Note that when a compulsory course is passed at 30% but less than 40%, the candidate is qualified to take on higher courses for which the course is a prerequisite. However the compulsory course must be repeated until it is passed at not less than 40%.

Courses and their Prerequisites

  • Generally, all first year courses are regarded as prerequisites for the second year while most second year courses are prerequisites for the third year. This is clearly specified in section 5.
