If you intend to retake a course with the course result “Fail”, you should submit an application during the following periods:
You are advised to submit a retake application before the term. If you submit an add retake course request during the add/drop period, you may not be able to attend the classes during the first few weeks while your application is being processed.
Applications will be considered case-by-case by Schools, with due consideration to factors such as availability of places and compatibility of class schedules. Results will be released within the function through which you submit your application.
Students will not repeat any courses in which they have been awarded passing grades. For courses awarded “Fail-Resit” grade, students will only be required to attend the resit examination and will not be required to retake the course. Since a retake will only be allowed for courses with “Fail” grade, you will not be allowed to retake until the course result is released. It is not guaranteed that you can retake the course in the immediate next term.
Some full-time undergraduate courses have distance-learning counterparts. Please refer to the list of “Courses presented in face-to-face mode and their distance learning mode equivalence”. If the retake course clashes with your other enrolled courses, or if the retake course is full, you may consider taking the equivalent distance-learning course instead, if applicable.
For students failed any University's Core Values modules, the University will arrange students to enroll in the next offering term, and they do not need to apply retake.
