If unexpected events affect your ability to perform in an assessment, it’s important to know what steps to take. This section guides you through what qualifies as extenuating circumstances, how to apply for consideration, and the evidence you’ll need — so you can focus on getting the support you need when it matters most.

Understanding Extenuating Circumstances
Application and Evidence Requirements

Extenuating circumstances refer to unexpected and serious events that affect your ability to perform in assessments. These typically:

  • Prevent you from performing at your usual level in an exam or assessment
  • Are severe and exceptional
  • Are unforeseen or unavoidable
  • Occur close to the affected assessment or exam date

 

*Application for Consideration of Extenuating Circumstances is only applicable to Taylor's College programmes and does not apply to Cambridge A Level (CAL), Australian Matriculation (AUSMAT) or professional courses. If you’re in one of these programmes, please reach out to your Programme Director for guidance.

Circumstances That Are Unlikely to Be Accepted
 
1. Medical ground
  • Medical ground or other special needs that have been accommodated, such as poor eyesight, Parkinson or speech difficulty.
  • A short-term problem or illness which has occurred during the year and which is not deemed to have had an overall effect on your performance.

 

2. ​Emotional and psychological ground
  • General pressure of work (this is not taken to be circumstances beyond your control, as you are expected to plan your work schedule).
  • Normal examination stress or anxiety experienced during revision or the assessment period (unless corroborated by medical evidence as a chronic condition and undergoing treatment).

 

3.  Situational factors/others​
  • ​​​Non-serious domestic or personal disruptions such as moving house or change of employment.
  • Pre-planned events which could have been anticipated and not unique in nature, such as travel plans, annual activities, religious holidays or festivals, which are usually known in advance.
  • Study-related circumstances such as equipment failure, including computing/printer difficulties (unless they occur during the examination itself), failure to have taken back-up copies of original work which have been stolen or corrupted, bunching of deadlines/ examinations, missing books, poor time management or taking the wrong examination.
  • Excessive demands on time or pressure of your employment, which could have been anticipated.
  • Financial constraints are commonly experienced by students.
  • Missing an examination because you have misread the timetable or overslept.
  • Late for examination because of a traffic jam, whereby you should have allocated additional travelling time in anticipation of any unforeseeable circumstances.
  • Time constraints where you have more than one examination on the same day or all assignments submission deadlines on consecutive days within the same week (unless you were already suffering from illness or injury).

How the College Can Support You

How the College Can Support You

If you are experiencing extenuating circumstances, the college offers several support options. You may submit the Extenuating Circumstances e-Form for the following purposes:

 

1. Request an Alternative Examination
  • If you are unable to attend a final examination due to extenuating circumstances.
  • Submit the form within three (3) working days from the date of the missed examination.

 

2. Apply for an Assignment Deadline Extension
  • If you are unable to meet an assignment (final assessment) deadline.
  • Submit the form within three (3) working days from the date of the assignment deadline.

 

3. Request Consideration for Impacted Performance
  • If your performance in an exam or assessment was negatively affected.
  • Submit the form within three (3) working days of the final examination date or assessment due date.

Missed the application deadline?

Late submissions may be accepted within three (3) working days from the last day of the final examination period, provided you include a valid written explanation and supporting evidence. Applications submitted beyond this timeframe will not be accepted.
Important Considerations

Important Considerations

  • Each application is reviewed and decided by the Head of School.
  • You can only take one alternative exam per module per semester:
    • If you miss the alternative exam, you must repeat the module in the following semester.
    • Students who miss a re-sit opportunity will not be granted another and may have to repeat the module.
  • No re-sit exams will be granted to students who attend an alternative exam but fail with a marginal grade.
  • Submitting evidence does not guarantee approval — further documentation may be requested.
  • Submission of falsified evidence (e.g. medical certificates) is considered disciplinary misconduct.
Hearing Outcome

Hearing Outcome

You will be notified of the outcome of your application according to the following timelines:​

  • Applications submitted at least one (1) week before the final exam period* begins: Outcomes will be released before the exam period begins.​
  • Applications submitted during the final exam period*: Outcomes will be released within five (5) working days after the exam period ends.

 

*Refer to the Academic Calendar for the final exam period

 
Evidence Requirements

Evidence Requirements

To support your application for extenuating circumstances, your documents (e.g. medical certificates, reports, or letters) must:

  • be on official letterhead (if applicable), and signed and dated,
  • indicate that the situation was unexpected and beyond your control,
  • summarise the nature and duration of the condition or situation,
  • clearly explain how the circumstance impacted your ability to sit for the final exam or complete your assessment, and
  • be in English or accompanied by an authorised translation.

Please note that submitting supporting documents does not guarantee approval of your request. Every application, including the evidence provided, will be thoroughly reviewed to determine eligibility. Additional documentation may be requested where necessary.

 

The submission of falsified or misleading documents will be treated as disciplinary misconduct.

 

Note: Overseas documents are no longer accepted due to verification issues.

When and What to Expect When Repeating a Module

When and What to Expect When Repeating a Module

If you’ve failed any module(s), you must add the failed module(s) during the Module Add/Drop (Tier 2) period, which opens one (1) week before the semester begins. You may add or drop via here.

 

Repeating a module means:

  • You’ll need to attend classes and retake all assessments.
  • If the failed module is an elective, you may take a replacement module instead—provided it’s within the maximum completion time of your programme.
Attempts and Outcomes

Attempts and Outcomes

No Attempt What Happens
1 1st Attempt (Fail) Required to repeat the module at the earliest possible offering.
2 2nd Attempt (Repeat) Repeat the module again. If you fail this attempt, you will only have one final opportunity.
3 3rd Attempt (Final Repeat) This is your last chance. If you fail again, you will be excluded from the programme.
4 Failed 3rd Attempt If you fail the module after three (3) total attempts including two (2) repeats without considering re-sit opportunity, you will be excluded from the programme.

An alternative assessment may be set under special circumstances, if recommended by the School Board of Examiners.

 

The Board may recommend a special assessment, which may include a supplementary examination if you fail in only one module in the final examination and the module is not being offered in the graduating semester of the programme.

 

No further re-sit/supplementary examination will be allowed after you have sat for the alternative final examination.

As a Foundation student, you may re-sit or repeat a module you have already passed if you want to improve your grade and CGPA. This can help you meet the entry requirements of your chosen degree programme. You must apply within two (2) working days after your results are released.

Option 1: Re-sit a Passed Module

Option 1: Re-sit a Passed Module

  • You may re-sit a passed module once only.
  • Only the better grade (from your re-sit or your original result) will be recorded in your transcript and used for CGPA calculation.
  • Once your re-sit is registered (within 3 working days of submission), you must:
    • pay the re-sit exam fee,
    • check the re-sit exam schedule on the portal, and
    • sit for the re-sit exam.    
  • Your re-sit grade will only be accepted if it meets the degree entry requirements (including those set by other universities and professional bodies). If not, you may consider repeating the module in an extended semester. 
  • If you choose to repeat the module, you should then complete the Application to Repeat Passed Module(s) form, within two (2) working days of release of re-sit results. 
Option 2: Repeat a Passed Module

Option 2: Repeat a Passed Module

To be eligible, you must:

  • not have attempted the module three (3) times (excluding re-sits),
  • not have exceeded the programme’s maximum completion time (2 years), and
  • apply within two (2) working days of release of results.

 

Important to Know:

  • You may only repeat once for each passed module.
  • The best grade (repeat or original) will be kept in your transcript and used for CGPA calculation.
  • You must consult your Programme Director on module offering before applying.
  • If approved, the module will be added for you manually within one (1) working day.
  • The repeated grade is also subject to the degree programme’s entry requirements (including those of other universities and professional bodies).

GPA: Foundation & Diploma

GPA: Foundation & Diploma

calculation of GPA

 

Each semester, your performance is measured using the Grade Point Average (GPA) — a numerical summary of how well you’ve done in your modules for that semester.

 

Here’s an example of how your GPA is calculated based on your semester results, using the formula shown.

CGPA: Foundation & Diploma

CGPA: Foundation & Diploma

calculation of CGPA

 

Your CGPA shows your overall academic performance across all semesters throughout your study duration.

 

Effective from the March 2018 intake, all modules attempted are considered for CGPA calculation. When the number of credits attempted (including electives) exceeds the minimum graduating credits, the credits and modules selected for each component are based on the best possible outcome or the highest grade achieved. As a result, a failed elective may not be included in the CGPA, and a student may not need to repeat it as long as the graduation criteria are fulfilled. The calculation follows the formula shown.

CGPA = 69.36 ÷ 20 = 3.46

Note:

​'Mata Pelajaran Pengajian Umum' (General Studies Subjects or MPU) modules are subject to an assessment and form part of the minimum graduating credits as well as the CGPA calculation. Students are required to pass all the required MPU modules.

  • Effective 2020 intakes onwards, grades obtained for U1 to U4 modules (except BKA module) are included in computing the student’s GPA and CGPA.​
  • Prior to 2020 intakes, U1 modules are excluded from the GPA and CGPA calculation.
  • For BKA module,
    • From 2018 intakes onwards, for programmes where U2 Life Skills module is compulsory, and students may take BKA module as additional U2 module, the BKA module is excluded from the GPA and CGPA calculation.​
    • From 2018 intakes until the policy stated in note 1(iii) (a) above is implemented, for programmes where students are allowed to take either U2 Life Skills module or BKA module, the module completed by the student will be used for GPA and CGPA calculation. In the event students have taken both modules, the best grade between the two modules will be selected for GPA and CGPA calculation. This is applicable to Diploma programmes prior to implementation of the Taylor’s Curriculum Framework (TCF).​

WGPA: Diploma

WGPA: Diploma

calculation of WGPA

 

From January 2023 intakes onwards, your performance for a semester is calculated using Weighted GPA (WGPA). When a student from a 2-year or 2.5-year programme takes a Year-2 module, the Year-2 module carries the same weightage as a Year-2.5 module in the WGPA and WCGPA calculation. The calculation follows the formula shown.
WCGPA: Diploma

WCGPA: Diploma

calculation of WCGPA

 

From January 2023 intakes onwards, your performance over the entire duration of your studies is calculated using Weighted CGPA (WCGPA), based on 20:30:50 (2-year and 2.5-year programme) weightage in percentage over year-levels of modules in a programme.

 

All modules attempted are considered for WCGPA calculation. When the number of credits earned through the elective module exceeds the minimum credit required for each component of the programme structure, the selection used for WCGPA calculation is based on the highest grade achieved.

 

The following are examples of calculations using modules at different year levels with varying year-level weightages. Each example is derived using the formula shown.

Notes:

 

General Studies (MPU) also known as Mata Pelajaran Pengajian Umum modules are compulsory and must be passed to meet graduation requirements. You are required to pass all the required MPU modules. However, if you are a Postgraduate student, this is not applicable to you. 

 

Whether they are included in your GPA or CGPA depends on your intake and programme type:

  • For intakes before 2020, U1 modules are excluded from the GPA and CGPA calculation.
  • For 2020 intakes and beyond, all MPU modules (U1 to U4) are included in GPA and CGPA calculations except BKA*. 
For BKA Module, depending on your programme structure, it may or may not count towards your GPA/CGPA.
  • If U2 Life Skills is compulsory, you may take BKA as an additional module, but it will be excluded in GPA and CGPA calculation.
  • If you're allowed to choose between U2 Life Skills or BKA, only one (1) module (whichever you completed) will count. If both were taken, the higher grade will be used for GPA and CGPA. 
  • This only applies to Diploma programmes before the Taylor’s Curriculum Framework (TCF).

Award Classification refers to the system used by a college to determine the class or level of a qualification awarded to a student upon graduation, based on their overall academic performance (typically CGPA or WCGPA).

Programme Learning Outcome (PLO) Attainment gives you an overview of how you’re progressing in achieving the learning outcomes of your programme. It also provides insight into your development of Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities (TGC).

 

PLO attainment is calculated based on the following criteria:

  • The same year-level weightage used in the Weighted GPA (WGPA) calculation is applied for PLO WGPA, and the same applies to WCGPA and PLO WCGPA.
  • All core modules (primary major) and University compulsory modules are included, except:
    • Modules with pass/fail grading
    • BKA module
    • Complementary study modules
  • If your module marks were moderated or capped (e.g. after a re-sit), and specific assessment task marks weren’t adjusted, then the original (unmoderated or uncapped) task marks will be used for PLO calculation.
  • Modules completed at partner institutions without component-level breakdowns are not included in PLO attainment reporting.
  • For 2020 intakes onwards, PLO attainment for re-sits is calculated using the re-sit results combined with the original results from other assessment tasks.
