Course Load for Basic Degrees<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Students undertaking a full-time course load shall follow the prescribed order of study and register for at least 12 credits and no more than 17 credits of course load each semester. On average, students are expected to spend 9 hours per week in study for a 3-credit course. This includes 3 hours of classroom instruction with a 30-minute break provision, and 6 hours of additional work outside classroom. A student taking 15 credits of course load would therefore be expected to spend 45 hours per week on academic work. This excludes time for participating in community activities and services.<\/li>\n
  2. BD\/MDiv students taking full-time course load are expected to take 15 to 17 credit hours per semester students not taking full-time course load during a semester are normally encouraged to take between two to three courses during that semester.<\/li>\n
  3. Students undertaking full-time course load shall limit their ministry engagement to a total of 10 hours per week on average. Students should try their best and ultimately be responsible to ensure that their studies will not be compromised or placed at disadvantaged position due to over-commitments during the period of study.<\/li>\n
  4. International students are required to undertake full-time course load while holding Student\u2019s Passes issued according to the regulations of Singapore’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority.<\/li>\n
  5. It is the responsibility of the students who have chosen not to undertake a full-time course load to keep track of and to manage their study progress so that they will complete their programme within the maximum duration stipulated. The College shall not be responsible for the outcome of delayed graduation due to students\u2019 own course preference, stipulated course sequencing requirements, and personal circumstances.<\/li>\n
  6. Students must seek approval from the Academic Dean’s Office should they wish to take 1 additional course above the prescribed curriculum for a particular semester. Approval should be sought before the end of add\/drop period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
