Q17: Can I register for a subject that is not in my programme curriculum for the purpose of broadening my studies?

Students of Full-time Undergraduate programmes can take additional subjects outside curriculum during the last two days of the Add/Drop Period to broaden their knowledge as long as the maximum study load (normally 21 credits per semester) is not exceeded.

All subjects will be included in the calculation of GPA while only those subjects within the programme curriculum requirement, including subjects selected to fulfil the Free Elective requirement, will be counted towards the GPA for award classification. Additional tuition fee will be charged for credit fee paying students.

Please refer to Q26 for searching subjects outside programme curriculum.
