To fulfil the Service and Leadership Learning requirement of the Honours College Certificate Programme (HC20), students must demonstrate leadership skills and service engagement on and/or off campus. This requirement is satisfied through participation in the Whole Person Development Award Programme (Link) administered by the Student Affairs Office (SAO), or an equivalent SAO-recognized programme. This requires earning ≥900 cumulative Competency Score (CS) with ≥150 CS in each of the original 5 core development areas.
Beginning in the 2021/2022 academic year, the original 5 CS development areas were restructured into 7 revised CS areas. To align with HC graduation requirements, all CS earned under the new system are automatically converted to the original 5-area framework within the university’s records system.
For full details on how specific scores translate between the frameworks, please refer to the official conversion table provided below.
