Attendance

• You are required to attend all lecture and tutorial sessions for the HSS CDS you are currently enrolled in starting from Week 1 of the semester, or Day 1 when the subject is run, whichever the lecture or tutorial session starts first.
• You will have failed to meet the 85% attendance requirement if you miss 3 or more tutorial sessions without any officially approved Medical Certificate (MC) or Leave of Absence (LOA). This may result in a “P” (Pass) or an “F” (Fail) grade for the subject, depending on your overall performance in the subject. A “P” grade is a non-graded pass with a grade point of 1.0 (i.e. equivalent to a “D” grade). Obtaining a “P” or an “F” grade for a CDS may affect your Grade Point Average (GPA) adversely.
• You will be marked 'Absent' if you are more than 15 minutes late for class. This will be counted as an absence without a valid MC or LOA and the condition in Section 2 above will apply.
• You are to inform and follow up closely with your Course Manager if you intend to drop the CDS during the 'Add/Drop' period at the start of the semester. Do not absent yourself from lessons until the CDS is no longer reflected in your timetable. Otherwise it will be counted as an absence without a valid MC or LOA and the condition in Section 2 above will apply
• When you have been absent for 2 tutorial sessions, a Warning Letter will be sent to you via email (cc. your Care Person and Subject Tutor). A copy of the letter will also be posted to your parent/guardian.

Communication

• HSS will communicate with you via your TP student email account (eg. 0123456A@student.tp.edu.sg) for important messages regarding your CDS. You are advised to check your TP email account as frequently as possible. HSS will not entertain emails sent via your personal email account other than your TP email account.
• You are to ensure that you keep Registrar’s Office updated of all your contact numbers, in case the tutor needs to contact you urgently regarding CDS related matters.

Common Test

• Please do not plan any activity on the test date (between 9 am – 5 pm) if your CDS has a Common Test scheduled on that day. Your School has already been informed about the test date
• There is no supplementary examination or supplementary assessment for HSS CDS.

Plagiarism

• Plagiarism is a serious offence. The disciplinary action to be taken for students caught for plagiarism will depend on severity, and range from failing the affected component of the subject to removal from course. If your work has been copied by another student with or without your knowledge, you are also liable to receive the same penalty as the student who has copied your work. You are therefore strongly advised not to pass your work to anyone. If caught, you cannot claim ignorance.  More information on plagiarism can be found here.

Disease Epidemics & Other Emergencies

• If you are required to stay away from campus, you are to check the TP website and your TP email account for announcements on how teaching/learning will be conducted during the affected period.
