Academic Standing and Progression

Learners need to maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.00 in any trimester to be in Good Standing.

Learners with unsatisfactory progress will be placed on the Academic Standing as shown in the following table:

Academic StandingDescription
Academic WarningCGPA falls below 2.00 for any given study trimester. An academic warning letter will be issued.
Academic ProbationCGPA falls below 2.00 for two consecutive study trimesters following the issuance of an academic warning letter. An academic probation letter will be issued.
Academic TerminationCGPA falls below 2.00 for the third consecutive study trimester, or at the end of the final trimester of study. A letter of termination will be issued.

The learner’s academic standing in a trimester will remain and be carried forward to the next trimester if the learner: 

  • has not enrolled in any programme components (e.g., on LOA, or taking a trimester break); or 
  • does not have any components with results that affect the overall degree/graduate diploma CGPA computation in that trimester.

Learners may appeal against Academic Termination only once during their period of candidature. This appeal must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office (email to Registrar@SingaporeTech.edu.sg) in writing by Monday of Week 2 of the trimester following the Academic Termination. All appeals will be reviewed by SIT or SIT with its OU partner (for a learner in a joint SIT-OU programme). The appellant will be informed of the outcome as soon as the review is completed. The decision (or joint decision in the case of a learner in a joint SIT-OU programme) will be final, and no further appeal will be entertained.

All information is accurate as of 30 April 2025. SIT reserves the right to update the information as required.
