Recently, the Ministry of Education (MOE) came to review the proposal to change the Graduation Liberal Studies English credit to a waiver, after much consideration.
The current Graduation Liberal Studies English credit requirements, as changed, are summarized below:
- There is no longer a credit, it has been changed to "no study".
- Definition of exemption: not having to take that class (the class for which the exemption is to be applied).However, other Liberal Studies courses are required to meet the number of Liberal Studies credits needed for graduation..
- Only the Liberal Studies Foundation English course may be waived! Foreign language courses are required.
- After exemption from the Basic English course, other Liberal Studies courses are required to meet the number of Liberal Studies credits required for graduation.
- No exemptions may be applied for the Intramural English Certificate Examination (IECE), which is only for the reference of the pre-test of the Doyle Examination.
Please contact the Center for Liberal Studies with any questions about Liberal Studies courses or related credits.
Please pay attention to this!
