CUMULATIVE AVERAGE POINT (CAP)

NUS adopts the Cumulative Average Point (CAP) system in assessing students’ academic performances throughout the semesters. Continuous Assessment (CA) may take the form of class participation, term project, mid-term test, quiz or assessment etc. The percentage of CA component in every module may vary from lecturer to lecturer, so if you hate group projects or mid-term tests, try to ask around and avoid lecturers who always do them. Every semester counts since CAP is cumulative and don’t think it’s fun to play one semester and desperately try to catch up the following semester!

 

This is represented as follows







 

 

​

Modules with no assigned MCs or grade points are excluded from the calculation of CAP.



Your CAP at the end of your studies will determine the degree with which you graduate from NUS Business School.





​Grade Points
