4. Students must complete a manual classification of all their modules before they can FFG.
   
   For students who are unsure whether to FFG, but have fulfilled the graduation requirements, they should either
   
   •  consult the academic advisor of the subject major(s), OR
   •  apply to FFG during this period for the Dean's Office verification and confirmation.
   
   After the release of the respective Special Term examination results, students who have FFG but decide to withdraw their FFG must submit the withdrawal request personally to the Dean's Office within 3 working days of the release of examination results.
   
   If you decide to continue with Honours, then
   
   •  If you have FFG earlier, you MUST submit the FFG withdrawal request to the Dean's Office. After the withdrawal is updated, you will need to change from the B.A. track to Honours track and proceed with module classification under the Honours track, via GAPS.
   
   •  If you have not FFG, you may update from B.A. track to Honours track using GAPS then proceed with module classification under the Honours track.
   
   You need to change from B.A. track to Honours track, otherwise you may encounter difficulties bidding for level 4000 modules during CORS. If you are unsure whether to pursue an Honours degree, you may consult the academic advisor of your major.
   
   Please note that you will be conferred the degree in September 2009 but will only be able to attend Commencement in 2010.
   
   Once you are conferred the B.A. degree, you cannot return to do your Honours. The B.A. degree once conferred, cannot be rescinded. That means, you cannot return to pursue your Honours degree. If you are unsure whether to pursue an Honours degree, you may consult the academic advisor of your major.
