Understanding your credit requirement:
To receive a Bachelor of Science, you must complete a minimum of 120 credits.听Electives taken the semester after you reach 120 credits will be E-Flagged (i.e. not for credit, not included in the CGPA).听Students who have been granted advanced standing for the International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement examinations, GCE A-Levels, French Baccalaureate, and other qualifications, but who wish to complete a four-year undergraduate program at 不良研究所, will be permitted to do so, with the appropriate limitations on the repetition of courses for which they have received exemptions. This gives students with Advanced Standing the option of completing 120 credits post admission. Interested students should discuss with their degree advisor.
