DDP Implementation in CORS: Past & PresentDDP Implementation in CORS: Past & Present• Past

– DDP students are only recognized by CORS as students from the primary faculty ONLY

– This cause problems during declaration, module bidding and FFG because

o DDP students can’t bid for their secondary faculty modules during the faculty protected round

o No systematic way of capturing declaration and FFG specific to the secondary faculty

• Present– DDP students are recognized by CORS as students from BOTH

the primary and secondary faculties

Old VS New FFG (File For Graduation)Old VS New FFG (File For Graduation)

• Old way– Inform BOTH primary and secondary faculties manually when DDP

students want to FFG– A series of checks kick in to coordinate the process of FFG status of

student between the two faculties

• New way– DDP students will FFG via CORS– At the end of the semester, BOTH primary and secondary faculties

automatically pick up this information from CORS and process accordingly

– Only two options of FFG is allowed for DDP:o File for Double Honours Degree (Hons + Hons)o File for Double Degree (Hons + Bachelor)

Changes in DDP Points DistributionChanges in DDP Points Distribution

• Past– Each DDP student follows the primary faculty points distribution.

o SCI DDP = 600 P, 400 Go ENG DDP = 750 P, 250 G

– ALL DDP students need to fulfill the same number of ULR– ULR can be double counted towards BOTH degrees– This form of points distribution is unfair to DDP students with a lesser

amount of G account points

• Present– ALL DDP students will have 750 P and 250 G points uniformly– This new points distribution will be effective from AY2007/2008 Semester 1
