STUDENT DISCIPLINE
UNIVERSITY RULES
AND REGULATIONS
As a student of the University, you

are expected to maintain and uphold
the highest standards of integrity
and honesty at all times, as well
as embrace community standards,
diversity and mutual respect for one
another, both within the University
and the wider Singapore community.
LEAVE OF
ABSENCE
Students may be granted leave

for periods of absence from the
University. The policy for the leave of
absence may be reviewed from time to
time by the University. Please refer to
nus.edu.sg/registrar/adminpolicy/loa.
html.
For undergraduates, such leave of
absence is normally not counted
towards the maximum candidature
of the programme pursued by the
student concerned.
No leave will be granted during the
official University examination periods,
which includes the Reading Week.
However, arising from medical and other
emergencies, students may request for
Special Considerations. Information
on the Special Considerations can
be found in the online Examination
Directory at https://myportal.nus.edu.sg/
studentportal/academics/all/examinationdirectory.html which is only accessible to
students after they have completed all
the registration procedures.
You should be familiar with the

NUS Code of Student Conduct
(nus.edu.sg/osa/coc) which is intended
to serve as a guide for students
conduct in both the academic and
non-academic aspects of University
life. It provides an overview of the
behaviour generally expected of you
as a member of the University
community.
Discipline with respect to students

is governed by the NUS Statute 6 and
Regulation 10 (nus.edu.sg/registrar/
adminpolicy/discipline.html).
The University takes a very serious
view of any breach of its rules and
regulations. Any student who is alleged
to have committed or attempted to
commit offences listed in Clause 3 of
Statute 6 may be subject to disciplinary
proceedings.

NUS Code of Student Conduct
nus.edu.sg/osa/coc
Statute on Discipline with Respect to Students
nus.edu.sg/registrar/adminpolicy/discipline.html
Leave of absence may be granted for the following reasons:

Medical Reasons
Students are required to submit a
medical certificate from the Universitys
Health Physician (University Health
Centre) who will submit an assessment
to the relevant Faculty on whether the
student is indeed unfit to study for the
semester(s).
Students who are on medical leave
of absence for one semester (term)
or more, must also be certified fit to
resume studies by the Universitys
Health Physician before he/she can
start attending classes. If a student
has been consulting a medical
practitioner other than one from the
University Health Centre during the
period of leave, a medical report (in
English) from that medical practitioner
must be submitted to the Universitys
Health Physician. Students will not be
able to register for modules until they
have been certified fit. Should they still
be unwell, the medical leave of absence
may be extended. Such applications for
leave extension will be evaluated based
on medical recommendations and the
students academic records. Normally,

a student who is granted leave of
absence on medical grounds during a
semester will be given IC grades for
all modules taken in that semester.
Academic Reasons
Leave may be granted for students
to participate in other external
academic activities.
Personal Reasons
Leave may be granted for students
to participate in activities such as
competitions, sports, seminars and
community services, to start-up a
company or to attend to personal
matters.
Students who require leave of one
semester (term) or more should obtain
approval in advance of the semester. If
a student applies for semester (term)
leave of absence beyond Instructional
Week 2, he/she is liable to pay fees
for the entire semester. Not having
attended any class or not having
utilised Universitys resources are
It is the students responsibility to

notify the relevant module instructors
and departments regarding his/her
absences from the scheduled academic
activities. Students who are absent
for an extended period without first
obtaining approval for leave will be
regarded as being absent without
permission and are liable to have their
registration status terminated.
International Students who are granted
leave of absence consecutively for more
than 2 years will have to cancel their
Students Pass at the Immigration

Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
In additional, International Students
who are granted leave of absence to
participate in a local internship during
the regular semester which does not
earn any credits for graduation will
have to cancel their Students Pass
and apply to the Ministry of Manpower
(MOM) for the necessary Training
Employment Pass through their
employer. For more information, please
refer to www.mom.gov.sg/foreignmanpower/passes-visas/trainingemployment/before-you-apply/Pages/
default.aspx.
At least one month and not more than

two months before the resumption
of studies, the International Student
will have to contact the Registrars

UNDERGRADUATE
CURRICULUM
University education at NUS aims to
cultivate well-informed and articulate
people capable of critical thinking and
learning. To meet this objective,
NUS undergraduate programmes
strive for a healthy balance that would
satisfy both the specialisation needed
for a subject major and the broader
expectations of University education.
The undergraduate curriculum comprises

three main components, namely, University
Level Requirements (ULR), Programme
Requirements, and Unrestricted Elective
Modules (UEM). Whereas Programme
Requirements privilege depth, ULR and
UEM are designed to foster breadth of
learning.
University Level Requirement
General Education (GE)
NUS General Education aims to connect
disciplinary knowledge and perspectives
with the skills needed for lifelong
learning beyond the university. The GE
curriculum consists of modules that cut
across the wide range of disciplines that
a comprehensive university like NUS
offers, encouraging students to explore
disciplinary practices and thinking in
the humanities, social sciences, sciences
and engineering sciences, engaging
all students in discussions about the
social, cultural, scientific, and historical
topics that will at the same time lay
the foundations for important life skills
such as critical thinking, communication,
and reasoning. In a nutshell, the NUS
GE curriculum aspires to inculcate the
habits or qualities of mind that define a
successful graduate.
Useful Links
GE scheme
nus.edu.sg/registrar/gem
Unrestricted Elective Modules
nus.edu.sg/registrar/nusbulletin/
GE modules include Human Cultures,

Quantitative Reasoning, Thinking and
Expression and Singapore Studies.
More information can be found at
nus.edu.sg/registrar/gem.
Programme Requirements
a) Faculty Requirements serve to
introduce a student to the different
disciplines in a Faculty or to certain
basic areas of study that prepare him/
her to pursue a particular discipline.
b) Major Requirements provide
specialised education in a subject
and include both essential and
elective modules. While the essential
modules are concerned with the core
knowledge and abilities expected of a
graduate majoring in the discipline of
choice, the elective modules combine
the flexibility of choice with further
specialisation within the discipline.
Unrestricted Elective Modules
These modules allow students to explore
greater breadth or depth in any subject
and at any level. For more information,
please visit nus.edu.sg/registrar/
nusbulletin/.

CENTRALISED ONLINE
REGISTRATION SYSTEM (CORS)
At the beginning of each semester,
all students must enrol in the modules
they will read during the semester.
Except for students from the Faculties
of Dentistry, Law and Yong Loo
Lin School of Medicine (excluding
the Bachelor of Science [Nursing]
programme), all other students who
are successfully admitted into their
faculties and schools must register
for their modules through CORS.
New students should obtain academic
guidance before enrolling in classes.
Academic advisors can help students
formulate degree objectives based on
interests, abilities and career goals.
These advisors are also able to help
students plan towards the fulfillment
of the University and degree
programme requirements necessary
for the completion of the programme.
The main feature of CORS is that students

are required to bid for their desired
modules online. This bidding system
requires students to carefully consider
their priorities as each decision has an
impact on their future career choices. It is
an opportunity to educate students on the
need to weigh their options, make their
decisions accordingly and appreciate the
consequences of their actions.
Each full-time undergraduate student
will be given a fixed amount of bid
points per semester at the beginning
of each semester to bid for modules.
The bid points will be allocated to the
following two accounts according to
pre-determined proportions:
a) Programme Account
Points in this account are to be
used for the bidding of modules
that students are required to take to

fulfill their Programme Requirements,
which comprise Faculty and Major
Requirements.
b) General Account
Points in this account must be used to
bid for modules under the University
Level Requirements (comprising
General Education modules, Singapore
Studies modules and Breadth
modules); Unrestricted Elective and
other requirements for their respective
degrees.
Any unused bid points after each round
will be carried over to the next bidding
round or to the next semester at the end
of the registration exercise. These points
will be reflected in the respective accounts
of the students. For more details on CORS,
please visit www.cors.nus.edu.sg.
INTERNATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES
The Student Exchange Programme
(SEP) is a part of NUS commitment
to global education. It allows NUS
undergraduates to spend a semester or
two at an overseas partner university
to earn credits towards their NUS
degree. Students can choose from a
list of over 300 universities from
50 countries around the world.
Beyond SEP, students can enrich their

learning experience through shortterm overseas programmes including
International Summer Programmes
(i-SP), International Internships (i-Intern),
International Research Attachment
Programmes (i-RAP) and Special
Programmes such as the Yale Visiting
International Student Program (Y-VISP).
Innovative programmes, like Study Trips
for Engagement and EnRichment (STEER),

take students to newly emerging regions
and countries, such as Latin America,
the Middle East, and Kazakhstan for
enrichment and exposure. Students can
also apply for scholarships funded by the
University and external organisations.

COLLEGE PROGRAMME
If you are seeking a residential
programme that will enrich your
campus experience and complement
your learning, then look no further!
Offered in the College of Alice &
Peter Tan, Residential College 4, and
Tembusu College, the University Town
College Programme (UTCP) emphasises
multidisciplinary learning and active
small-group learning. Students from
different disciplines, cultures, and
nationalities are put together in each
class where they examine and discuss
various issues. This helps them to
assimilate and synthesise crossdisciplinary knowledge, facilitating
multi-perspectival thinking.
For cohorts AY2015/2016 and after, the

UTCP curriculum (comprising 20 modular
credits) replaces the curricular space
meant for the five General Education
modules. Alternative arrangements will

Faculties, such as Medicine, Law, and
Dentistry.
Through its distinctive five-module
curriculum, the UTCP will help you
develop effective communications and
strong writing skills, critical thinking
skills, and intellectual breadth and rigour
to tackle the complex, inter-related
challenges confronting the world today.
A host of informal learning activities, such
as the artist-in-residence programme
and Masters Tea, as well as social and
sporting activities, complements the
formal curriculum.

comprising bursaries, scholarships, and
College Grants are in place to help offset
some of these costs.

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
(MOE) TUITION GRANT
The tuition fee subsidy from the
Government of Singapore comes in
the form of a Tuition Grant which
is administered by the Ministry of
Education (MOE) and offered to all
eligible admitted students. Students
who apply for and receive the Tuition
Grants need only pay subsidised fees.
While the Tuition Grant does not need
to be repaid and Singapore citizens
in receipt of it will not be required to
serve a bond, the following conditions
will apply:
i. Singapore Citizens on Public Service
Commission (PSC) scholarships or
bursaries will be required to serve
a bond under the terms of such
scholarships or bursaries.
ii. All students, regardless of nationality,

admitted to the faculties of Medicine
or Dentistry (only applicable to
Singapore Citizens who are not on
PSC scholarships or bursaries) will
be required to serve a bond with the
Singapore Ministry of Health for five
or six years for Singapore Citizens
or Singapore Permanent Residents/
international students pursuing the
Medicine course respectively, and four
or five years for Singapore Citizens
or Singapore Permanent Residents/
international students pursuing the
Dentistry course respectively.
iii. All Singapore Permanent Residents
and international students (except
those who are already required to
serve a bond with the PSC or the
Ministry of Health) will be required

to serve a bond under the terms
of the Tuition Grant to work in a
Singapore-registered company for
three years upon the completion
of their degrees so as to discharge
their obligations to the Singaporean
public for the significant subsidy of
their university education.
The application procedure for the
Tuition Grant is set out on page 26.
Scholarship holders are advised to
check with their respective scholarship
administrators as to whether their
scholarship covers the Tuition Grant.
If the scholarship does not cover the
Tuition Grant, an application should be
made for the Grant if needed.
Students who do not apply for the

Tuition Grant by the stipulated deadline
will be charged the full tuition fees and
the 7% GST. Students must inform the
NUS Office of Financial Aid in writing at
http://www.askadmissions.nus.edu.sg/
by Instructional Week 2 of their
semester of admission if they do not
wish to accept the Tuition Grant.

they did not attain their bachelors
or higher degree through any
subsidy by MOE or sponsorship by
the Singapore Government (this
includes the receipt of a government
scholarship such as those offered
by the Ministries, Public Service
Commission and Statutory Boards
for local or overseas study).

TUITION FEES APPLICABLE TO

ALL NATIONAL SERVICEMEN
The tuition fee effective for each academic
year applies to new as well as existing
students. National servicemen, whose
enrollment to the University is delayed
by one to two years, as a result of their
national service commitments, will enjoy a
one to two years lag in tuition fee payable
respectively. This takes into account

their delayed enrollment due to national
service.
The tuition fee payable will depend on
the year when they were first offered a
place in the University. If the National
Serviceman does not accept the place
first offered and accepts offers from
NUS in the subsequent years, he will
not be able to enjoy the lag in tuition
fee effective in the year of his first
offer. He will have to pay the tuition
fee effective in the latest year of offer
which he has been accepted.
National Servicemen offered and
accepted places in the University for
the first time in 2014 will pay the 2014
tuition fees for the rest of their course.
In the case of National Servicemen who

are offered and accepted places in the
University for the first time in 2015,
they will pay the 2015 tuition fee when
they eventually enroll in the University.
National Servicemen who have been
successful in changing their course of
studies will pay the fee applicable to the
year of their first offer, i.e. if they had
accepted their first offer in 2014 and
decided to change the course thereafter
in 2015, they will have to pay the tuition
fee applicable to the year of their
first offer.

PARKING
ENFORCEMENT
Student season pass holders are allowed
to park only in the white coloured parking
lots at the approved car parks on a firstcome-first-served-basis. Red parking lots
are strictly reserved for NUS staff season
parking holders (unless otherwise stated
at the car park lots). Unauthorised and
illegal parking will pose security and
safety hazards and inconvenience to the
campus community.
Students who tamper with their vehicle
license plates and/or tailgating other
vehicles while exiting or entering the
car parks with the intention to evade car
parking fees will endanger the safety
of other motorists and pedestrians.
A disciplinary committee may be formed
to deal with students who intentionally
evade car parking fees.
Apart from being disciplinary dealt with,

students may also be ordered to pay
restitution of car park fees and subject to
wheel clamping or towing release fees.
Students with persistent parking offences
may not be eligible for season parking
privileges consequently.
The NUS Car Park Management
Committee, which comprises
representatives from student and staff
unions, the Office of Human Resources,
Office of Student Affairs and the
Office of Campus Amenities,
has introduced wheel clamping and
towing of vehicles as enforcement
measures. The purpose is to deter
unauthorised and illegal parking at all
NUS car parks, driveways, fire engine
hard standing areas and access routes.
Students whose vehicles are wheelclamped or towed away will have to pay
a release fee of S$107 (including GST) and
S$160.50 (including GST) respectively.
Wheel clamping and towing warning
signs are prominently displayed in the car
parks and apply to the entire car park,
including the driveways.
