Subject Retaking
 
  1. RPg students may only retake a subject which they have failed (i.e., Grade F or U).
  2. The number of retakes of a subject should be restricted to two (i.e., a maximum of three attempts for each subject is allowed).
  3. The second retake of a failed subject requires the approval from the FRC/SB Chair.
  4. RPg students who have failed a compulsory subject after two retakes and have been de-registered can submit an appeal to the Academic Appeals Committee (AAC) for a third chance of retaking the subject.
  5. In relation to Point 4 above, in case the AAC does not approve further retakes of a failed compulsory subject or the taking of an equivalent subject with special approval from the Faculty/School Board, the student concerned would be de-registered and the decision of the AAC would be final within PolyU.
  6. Departments may impose more stringent regulations on the retaking of particular types of subjects, e.g., practicum, clinical placement. RPg students should be duly informed.
