8. Students who receive one (1) unsatisfactory “U” grade in one (1) course without a previous course repeat must repeat the course and are placed on MAS. This counts as one (1) course repeat.
9. Students who receive one (1) unsatisfactory “U” grade in one (1) course with one (1) previous course repeat must repeat the course and are placed on MAS. This counts as one (1) course repeat in addition to prior course repeats and/or course unit resists.
10. Students who receive one (1) unsatisfactory “U” grade in one (1) course with two (2) previous course repeats is recommended for dismissal.

Monitored Academic Status (MAS): Students who get an unsatisfactory grade in either a course or a course unit will be placed on MAS. MAS will be cleared if students:
- Achieve a cumulative WMPG of ≥ 69.50% or above each term they spend on MAS.
- Do not receive any ‘U’ grade during their MAS.
- Fulfill all other requirements stipulated by the APRC.
APRC can set different and/or additional requirements for remediation to those in the above table upon reviewing an individual student's academic progress.
Where applicable, only the newly achieved grade will contribute to the WMPG calculation after repeating the term.
When students receive a satisfactory “S” grade on a resit examination, they will be given a final "S" grade of 70%. Only the newly achieved grade for that course unit will be considered in the WMPG calculation.
If a student repeats a course, only the newly achieved grade will be considered in the WMPG calculation for the course/term.
