Q10. Can I appeal for the module or modules that I have opted to take on S/U basis to be changed to graded basis after the exercise for S/U option is over?
No, the S/U option that you have exercised for a module or modules is irrevocable from Week 7 of a semester.
Okie...so S/U or not?

Hm.
My sch is in the papers again.
A lady wrote in the forum and said something like " I've been clicking around on your website. It's difficult to get financial aid from you guys. And you dare call it "visible" aid?! Back in my school, financial aid is one of only 8 links on the main page..."
She's from Harvard, by the way.
So i've decided to go check out the websites myself!
The results?
It took me 4 clicks (exclusive of all the scrolling) to get to my school's fiancial aid page and 1 click (with no scrolling) to get to Harvard's.
4 clicks on my school's website and I was greeted with this and only this mesage:
The University is committed to a needs-blind merit-based admission policy that ensures no deserving student is denied a university education because of financial difficulty. To fulfill this commitment, a Student Financial Aid Unit has been set up within the Registrar’s Office to provide a visible and integrated approach to assist students with financial difficulties or concerns.
The message leaves me with a "So what do I do next?" feeling.
Whereas Harvard's page is "linked filled". haha. You can even submit the application for financial loan online.
Even before school started, I told my aunt and reen that it's hard to find information on almost everything else in You-Know-Where except for how to pay your school fees.
What more information on financial aid?
They are just oozing with insincerity.
*Ring Ring*
Its about time someone picked up that wake up call.
