Warning
Students whose cumulative average points (CAP) drop below 3.5 for any semester will receive a warning that his or her academic performance is inadequate.
Expectations
At the end of the second year, if a student's CAP
remains below 3.5, he or she will be counselled. Counselling would
focus on the pros and cons of remaining in the USP versus voluntarily
withdrawing from the USP. We see the internal CAP requirement of
3.5 as a stepping stone to the fundamental academic goal of achieving
honours in his or her home faculty. Every student is also expected
to participate in USP activities and contribute to the Programme.
In addition, students are expected to participate actively in learning-beyond-the-classroom activities offered by USP. They are also encouraged to gain significant international experience through study abroad opportunities offered by USP, NUS and others, including student exchange, overseas interships and attachments, international summer programmes, overseas expeditions and community projects, and international conferences and leadership forums.
Requirements for Certification
To graduate as a University Scholar with USP certification,
students must complete the USP requirements and achieve at least
a Second Class (Lower) Honours in the Home Faculty. The USP certificates
are presented to the graduates at the Commencement ceremonies.
