Double Degree
Freshmen who are accepted into the double degree programme are deemed to be provisionally enrolled. Provisionally enrolled students will be required to fulfill the stipulated double degree requirements by the end of their year 2, failing which they will be taken off the double degree programme. As such, it is important for you to plan your courses carefully and ensure that you are take the required courses (via BOSS) by the end of your year 2.
The current double degree criteria (which all provisional enrolled students have to fulfill) are:-
1) A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.40; and 2) A minimum grade as follows for the prescribed courses:

Freshmen should also take note of the following policies surrounding the double degree programme:
1) Double degree students who have satisfied the above criteria will still be required to maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00. If his cumulative GPA falls below 3.00, he is still permitted to remain in the double degree programme. To be awarded the double degree, the cumulative GPA of the student must be at least 3.00. If the cumulative GPA is just below 3.00, say 2.99, the double degree will not be awarded. Instead, the degree for the primary programme and a double major (if eligible) will be awarded.
2) Double degree students, if eligible for cum laude, will have the same class of cum laude (based on the single cumulative GPA) reflected on both degree scrolls.
3) A student in any double degree programme who has taken additional courses under a Second Major will have the Second Major declared under the primary degree. Students are not encouraged to take up more majors that would delay their graduation, especially beyond 4 years of undergraduate study.
4) Changes are discouraged. Primary and secondary degree programmes may not be swapped; i.e., primary degree becomes the secondary degree and vice versa. Substituting a degree with another degree is subject to application and approval, and will be treated like an application for a transfer, and subject to all the conditions thereof.
5) Double Degree students may drop a degree anytime. Please note that if the student wishes to drop the primary degree and retain the secondary degree, such a change is subject to the approval of the latter school.
Any changes to the above criteria and/or policies will be communicated to students and reflected in OASIS > Study > Undergraduate Regulations & Procedures.
