Question and Answers

1. What are the criteria for the Department to decide whether a job is a qualified WIE placement?
   The main indicators are whether the job is relevant to students' academic profession and whether students could develop generic skills through the placement.

2. I have been doing part-time job for awhile and I want to apply for conversion of individual placement, could my previous working experience be counted as WIE hours?
   No, you can't. In principle, WIE hours will only be counted after the approval of your submission of the Application for Conversion of Individual Placement. Your working experience before your application submission could not be approved retroactively. Part-time jobs that you have been doing for some time will not normally be counted as WIE.

3. When will the official result of WIE be announced after my submission of the Appraisal Form and Final Report?
   Registration for the WIE subject (ENGL2007) and the official announcement of subject result will only be made at the end of the following semester after students' timely submission of the Appraisal Form and Final Report. Hence, students who submit their reports and documents after the last teaching day of the semester will not see their WIE results recorded in the transcript in the following semester.

4. I have completed my WIE internship last year, but the WIE record on e-Student still displays a “Not Fulfilled” indicator. Why?
   The indicator of WIE fulfillment on your online transcript will only be updated to "fulfilled" by CAPS by the time you graduate. If you find the subject ENGL2007 registered with a grade (either M or P) on your online transcript, that means you have completed the WIE requirement.
   
   If you have completed more than one WIE internship, the second placement is treated as a top-up WIE placement and no grade will show up for it.
