S/U (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) Option
Worried about your grades? Want to take an intimidating BDE module?
Well, there's sometimes a way out!
The S/U Option allows you to declare certain modules as basically pass (Satisfactory) or Fail (Unsatisfactory). EITHER way, that module will then have no effect on your GPA. If declared as Unsatisfactory, however, the AU from the module will not count towards fulfilling degree requirements. For more info, read on below.
