These are compulsory courses for CHS students, and you are not permitted to drop them.
No, you can’t. Career Catalyst (CFG1002) is not a substitute for Career Compass. Instead, it is one of the recommended activities to complete in Career Compass I, HS1401A.
Yes, you can.
Details of the recommended activities to be completed for each course will be listed on the Canvas page of the course.
You can also refer to https://fass.nus.edu.sg/career-compass-series/ca-components-grading/ for a general overview.
You will be allocated the HS1401 course that corresponds to your new major in Semester 2. If you have submitted your Assignment in Semester 1, you are not required to re-submit in Semester 2. For any further queries, please contact the FASS Career Compass Administrator.
Please contact the FASS Career Compass Administrator for assistance.
For students who are on LOA, NOC, SEP or JDP, we will re-allocate the appropriate course to them during their non-LOA, NOC, SEP or JDP semester, based on their course code.
Students may get a CU (Completed Unsatisfactorily) grade if they are unable to fulfil the requirements.
That said, it will not have an impact on the GPA, and students need not repeat the course. We will still proceed to allocate the next course to him/her in Semester 1 of the following Academic Year. However, the Career Advisor may implement separate intervention to help these students who may need more support.
It is your choice, though we would encourage you to complete the course in Semester 1 if your schedule permits.
It is not compulsory to take FASS 2.0 Industry Tracks Programme.
The programmes do not compete with each other. The Career Compass Series is for all CHS students, while FASS 2.0 is only available to FASS undergraduates who wish to enhance their preparation for specific industries.
You can refer to: https://fass.nus.edu.sg/industry-tracks-fass-2-0/ for more information on FASS 2.0.
No. If you earn more than the 100 points requirement, you cannot carry over extra points to your next Career Compass course.
For example, if you earn 150 points in HS1402A, only 100 points count toward HS1402A’s requirement. The extra 50 points will not carry over to HS1403A.
