Learners can only sign up for the Capstone Project upon completing at least 72 credits of the required micro-credentials. They will have a maximum duration of three trimesters to complete the Capstone Project.
Undergraduate Programmes (via Competency-based Stackable Micro-credential Pathway)
The typical workload for each trimester will be one micro-credential, excluding any micro-credential carried forward from the previous trimester. Learners may take on a larger workload in a trimester after consultation with their Programme Leaders. Learners may undertake modules to fulfil University-level requirements, Workforce Essentials, Capstone Project and/or other required modules concurrently with the micro-credential(s) or as individual programme components in a trimester.
To meet the Graduation Requirements for the respective undergraduate degree programmes, the learner must:
- demonstrate competency in all the competency units within all the micro-credentials and passed all required modules (if applicable) to obtain the total stipulated credits for the programme;
- complete the stipulated non-credit bearing requirements; and
- attain a minimum CGPA of 2.00 at the end of the final trimester of study.
A team of qualified success coaches, alongside SIT instructors, provide dedicated support to learners throughout their learning journey. These coaches work closely with each learner to develop personalised academic goal-setting plans tailored to their individual needs. The success coaches also work closely with programme instructors to monitor and pace learners, providing encouragement and celebrating with learners as they journey through different milestones. Learners are strongly encouraged to partner with their assigned success coach as they navigate towards their academic success.
