Subject to Chief Supervisor’s approval, students can drop the subject during the add/drop period via eStudent (for students of the 2018/19 cohort or after) or the Research Student Portal (for students of the 2017/18 cohort or before). However, dropping of subjects after the add/drop period is not allowed.

If a student has a genuine need to drop a subject after the add/drop period, it will be handled as subject withdrawal. The student should apply for subject withdrawal by submitting a completed Form GSB/36 to the Chief Supervisor and Subject Lecturer for approval. The withdrawn subject will be reported in the Assessment Result Notification and Transcript of Studies although it will not be counted in the calculation of qualifying GPA.

Application for withdrawal of subject will not be entertained after the commencement of the examination period.
