• Undergraduate students bid for modules (except for Honours Project module) using the Central Online Registration System (CORS).
• Students who have successfully bid for modules will ballot for the tutorial and lab groups using CORS. This usually takes place in Week 2 of a semester.
• After tutorial balloting has ended, students who have not registered for tutorials or lab sessions would have to do so manually with the module lecturers.
• While waiting for appeal outcomes for modules/tutorials, students should continue to attend classes as planned.

NOTES

• Honours Project module (MA4199, QF4199, XFS4199Y) are not open for bidding. They will be pre-allocated to eligible year 4 students, usually at the end of CORS bidding. Eligible students are required to set aside sufficient workload (at least 6MCs) for pre-allocation.
• S-modules are not open for bidding in CORS. Students who are keen to read them are required to submit applications for SPM/S-modules before the stipulated closing date.
• Selected MA5xxx modules are open for bidding in CORS but with limited vacancies. MA6xxx modules are not open for bidding as they are generally not offered to undergraduate students, although students who are keen may appeal via CORS to be considered for pre-allocation.
• Students reading MA2213 only need to ballot for its tutorials as the corresponding lab session will be pre-allocated to them.

• Non-graduating students' admission and module registration are managed by the Registrar's Office.
• Non-graduating students are required to apply for modules at the pre-admission stage. By the time they arrive in NUS, they would have some pre-approved modules registered for them.
• They may still add and drop modules at the beginning of a semester. The Registrar's Office would convey the instructions and schedule to them.
• They will register for maths module tutorials and labs by emailing at least 2 preferred timeslots (in order of preference) per module to AskMathUGnus.edu.sg in Week 2 of a semester. The Department will work with the Registrar's Office to add them to their preferred tutorials/lab session by end of Week 3. Note that tutorial registration can only be done after a module has been registered.
• While waiting for modules/tutorials to be registered, students should continue to attend classes as planned.

NOTES

• Non-graduating students who wish to work on UROPS are required to find a willing supervisor before they are allowed to register for the module using paper form.
• In general, maths GEH/GET modules are not open to non-graduating students as places are usually intensely competed by undergraduate students.
• MA6xxx modules are usually not open to non-graduating students as these are advanced graduate modules.

• For M.Sc./Ph.D. in Mathematics by Research and M.Sc. in Mathematics by Coursework: A full-time student may read up to six modules per semester, while a part-time student is only allowed to read up to three modules per semester.
• For M.Sc. in Quantitative Finance:  A full-time student may read up to 4 modules per regular semester (not including ES module pre-designated by CELC), while a part-time students may only read up to 2 modules per regular semester (not including ES module pre-designated by CELC).
• Graduate students use a combination of online system and paper forms to register for modules. The Faculty of Science would convey the instructions and schedule to them beforehand, and post the information on its webpage. M.Sc. in QF students should also take note of the special arrangements highlighted here.
• Part-time students may fax or email completed forms to AskMathPGnus.edu.sg before the deadline. Sections in the form that require supervisor's or graduate coordinator's input may be left blank for the Department to follow up.
• They will register for tutorials by emailing at least 2 preferred timeslots (in order of preference) per module to AskMathUGnus.edu.sg in Week 2 of a semester. The Department will add them to their preferred tutorial groups by end of Week 3. Note that tutorial registration can only be done after a module has been registered so if a module has not been updated in the student's record, tutorial registration will be delayed.
• While waiting for modules/tutorials to be registered, students should continue to attend classes as planned.

NOTES

• Students may log on to mySIS to check the modules and tutorials that have been registered.
• As modules registered with paper forms are routed to the Faculty for manual data input, module and tutorial registration records may be delayed due to overwhelming volume of paperwork during module registration period.

FAQ

I can't find class timetable for MA5198!

• Register for the module MA5198 during module registration period;
• Contact the faculty members who are in charge of organizing regular seminar series to register your name for the semester. You may register for any seminar series that interest you but you must register for at least 2 different series;
• Participate in the seminars as scheduled. You are required to give (at least) one presentation in either seminar series;
• An appointed coordinator for the semester would advise the students and be tasked to assess each student's participation through the organizers of the seminar series. A student would normally consult his/her thesis supervisor and the organizers of the seminar series on their presentations.

Are there any guidelines on the type of modules that I should read?

The Department's programmes operate on a modular system where modules are structured to be taught on a semester basis. Based on the list of modules offered in every semester and the graduation requirements outlined for a programme, students may choose to read any modules as long as they meet the prerequisites and the timetable suits their schedules. Most students would select modules that interest them most or which fit with their area of focus.

Am I allowed to read more modules than are required for graduation?

Yes, as long as you have no problems coping with the schedule and that they are completed within the maximum candidature.

M.Sc. in QF students should note that they have to pay modular fee for modules read in excess of the 10 required for graduation.

Am I allowed to read modules outside the Department?

You may read modules from other departments or Faculties, subject to the host department's/Faculty's approval. But you are only allowed to use a limited number of relevant modules to count towards your graduation.

M.Sc. in QF students should give priority in reading modules required for graduation, and also note that they have to pay modular fee for modules read in excess of the 10 required for graduation.
