1. KCL undergraduate student failure policy
KCL undergraduate students can take up to 30 credits. If you fail more than 30 credits, you will be discouraged from the school.
Specifically, the treatment of KCL undergraduates after failing the course is as follows:
Freshman Students:
Core Curriculum Pass;
Earn a minimum of 90 credits;
All exams are attended normally.
First-year students usually have two retake attempts, and if they fail both retakes, they will need to retake the course.
First-year students can apply for a "compensated fail," which allows students to withhold their final grade if certain conditions are met.
The conditions for soft hanging usually include:
Sophomores and beyond:
Core courses cannot be soft-suspended, only non-core courses can be soft-suspended, and whether it is allowed depends on the professional requirements.
If a sophomore or junior fails a course in the first exam, the score is between 1 and 39 points.
Most majors can be soft-hung for up to 30 credits.
2. KCL Master's Degree Students' Admission Policy
KCL master's students only have one year of study, so there is no such thing as retake. If one or two subjects are not accepted, students can apply for a make-up examination. There is usually only one chance to retake the exam, and if you still fail the retake, it will affect the final degree award.
Specifically, the treatment of KCL master's students after failing the course is as follows:
Retake:If the results are not qualified, the student can apply to the school for a make-up examination. The retake application needs to be filled in** and attached with relevant materials, such as transcripts, study plans, etc.
Application for Deferment of Graduation:Students can apply for deferment of graduation, complete the remaining courses within the stipulated time and obtain graduation qualifications.
Applying:Students can apply to drop out and receive a certificate of completion, but not a degree certificate.
Transfer:Students can transfer to other schools or majors to continue their studies.
3. How to avoid KCL failure
