At the end of each semester, the department will ask those students who expect to graduate that semester to inform the department if they wish to exclude any surplus courses from the GGA calculation.Note that surplus COMP courses taken during undergraduate study may be used to partially fulfill the course requirement of our MPhil or PhD program if you continue to pursue postgraduate study at HKUST. In that case, these surplus courses must be excluded from the GGA calculation.The GGA is used to determine the degree c
