3 Registration
All students must register as candidates of the University on admission.
Students either register as full-time or part-time candidates. Full-time candidates are not permitted to
be employed without permission from the University. Those found doing so may have their candidatures
terminated immediately.
No student may concurrently register for more than one degree or register as a candidate of the University
and of another university or Institution.
4 Student User-ID, NUSNET Password and Pin
Upon completing the Registration (Part One) process, students will have been given their new computer
account details [e.g. Student ID, Personal Identification Number (PIN), NUSNET ID and NUSNET
password ]. However, your new NUSNET account will only be activated 1 day after you have completed
all your registration formalities with NUS. Before you can access any NUS online services, e.g. NUS
Email, MyISIS and etc, you are required to first change your default NUSNET password at

Policy / Undertaking / Authorisation
10.1 NUS Student Data Protection Policy
NUS takes responsibilities under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 seriously. We also recognize the
importance of the personal data you have entrusted to us and believe that it is our responsibility to
properly manage, protect and process your personal data. This policy is designed to assist you in
understanding how we collect, use and/or disclose the personal data you have provided to us, as well as
to assist you in making an informed decision before providing us with any of your personal data. If you,
at any time, have any queries on this policy or any other queries in relation to how we may manage,
protect and process your personal data, please do not hesitate to contact our Data Protection Officer
at dpo@nus.edu.sg.
10.2 Code of Student Conduct
NUS students 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.
-4-
AUGUST 2016
The Code of Student Conduct (published by the Office of Student Affairs at

http://www.nus.edu.sg/osa/coc) is intended to guide students' conduct in both the academic and nonacademic aspects of their University life by providing an overview of the behavior generally expected of
them as a member of the University community.
One of the fundamental principles on which this Code is based is that of "Academic, Professional, and
Personal Integrity".
In this respect, it is important to note that all students share the responsibility for upholding the academic
standards and reputation of the University. Academic honesty is a necessary condition in the pursuit and
acquisition of knowledge, and the University expects each student to uphold academic honesty.
Academic dishonesty is any misrepresentation with the intent to deceive, or failure to acknowledge the
source, or falsification of information, or inaccuracy of statements, or cheating at examinations/tests, or
inappropriate use of resources. There are many forms of academic dishonesty and plagiarism is one of
them. Plagiarism is generally defined as the practice of taking someone elses work or ideas and passing
them off as ones own (The New Oxford Dictionary of English). The University does not condone
plagiarism.
Students should adopt this rule - You have the obligation to make clear to the assessor which is your own
work, and which is the work of others. Otherwise, your assessor is entitled to assume that everything
being presented for assessment is being presented as entirely your own work. This is a minimum standard.
In addition, the following guidelines will provide some assistance.
When using the ideas, phrases, paragraphs and data of others in work presented for assessment,
such materials should be appropriately credited and acknowledged, so that it is clear that the
materials being presented is that of another person and not the students own.
The amount of detail required when referencing and acknowledging a source will vary
according to the type of work and norms of the discipline. For instance,
Supervised examinations will require less detail in referencing and acknowledgement.
Papers written other than under examination conditions will require a full citation of all
the sources utilised. While a particular style of citation is not prescribed, the citation
should provide enough information for the reader to locate the sources cited.
Research materials (including texts, graphics and data) obtained from the internet or other
electronic resources should be treated in the same way as research materials obtained from
traditional sources.
Any student found to have committed or aided and abetted the offence of plagiarism may be subject to
disciplinary action. In addition, the student may receive a reduced grade (possibly even zero mark) for
the relevant academic assignment, project, or thesis; and he/she may fail or be denied a grade for the
relevant subject or module. Any student caught plagiarizing will be required to retain the plagiarised
module as graded, and will not be allowed to exercise the S/U option for that module.
A student may not knowingly intend to plagiarise, but that should not be used as an excuse for
plagiarism. Students should seek clarification from their instructors or supervisors if they are unsure
whether or not they are plagiarising the work of another person. All students are also encouraged to:
consult the resources (http://www.cdtl.nus.edu.sg/ug/resources/plagiarism.htm)

compiled by the Centre for Development of Teaching and Learning (CDTL) on how to avoid
plagiarism;
use the service (http://cit.nus.edu.sg/plagiarism-prevention/) provided by the Centre for
Instructional Technology (CIT) to help detect and prevent web-based plagiarism; and
access the Academic Culture module (http://emodule.nus.edu.sg/ac/) online.
10.3 Acceptable Use Policy for IT Resources

This policy applies to the use of the IT resources owned, controlled or managed by the University, such
as computer accounts, personal computers, servers, workstations, disk storage, software, administrative
-5-
AUGUST 2016
and academic applications, email, public folders, newsgroups, online discussion forums, dialup, network,
Internet and databases, among others. All users who have been granted access to the IT resources,
including students of the University, are to comply with this policy. Do refer to the website
https://inetapps.nus.edu.sg/comcen/security/aup/index.html for the latest version of this policy statement.
10.4 NUS Do-Not-Call Policy
The University must comply with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) (details at
http://www.pdpc.gov.sg/individuals/overview) and the Do Not Call (DNC) regime/framework. The
PDPA aims to protect individuals' personal data against misuse, while promoting proper management of
personal data in organizations. The PDPA requires that organizations collecting, using and disclosing
personal data notify their consumers of the purposes of such data activities and seek the consent of these
individuals. Personal data is defined as data about an individual who can be identified from that data. The
DNC Registry will allow individuals with Singapore telephone numbers to opt out of unsolicited
marketing calls, messages and faxes.
NUS must fully comply with the PDPA. To this end, NUS has developed a DNC Policy (available at
https://myportal.nus.edu.sg/studentportal/academics/all/docs/NUS-DNC-Policy.pdf) with our legal
consultants to ensure compliance from our community.
10.5 NUS Intellectual Property Policy
In addition to the provision of educational facilities at tertiary levels, the functions and objectives of the
University include the promotion of research and scholarship and the advancement and dissemination of
knowledge for the benefit of all. Consistent with its status as a publicly funded organization, it is critical
that the University ensures that the creation, dissemination and commercialisation of Intellectual Property
is properly administered for the benefit of the public and the University. This Policy shall therefore apply
to all Intellectual Property developed or created by a University member, including students, in the course
of University research. Do refer to the Industry Liaison Office website at
http://enterprise.nus.edu.sg/commercialise/for-researchers for the latest version of this policy.
10.6 NUS Student Confidentiality Agreement
All NUS students are required to acknowledge and agree to comply with the terms stated in the NUS
Student Confidentiality Agreement. Students should keep absolutely confidential any Confidential
Information, whether belonging to the University or other third parties be it in writing or verbally in the
course of their studies, internships, attachments and/or student life at the University.
Unless express written permission has been given by the relevant authority at the University or the third
party that owns or otherwise is in control of the Confidential Information, students should not discuss,
release, retain, copy or remove any document or data in any format.
Students found to have made unauthorised release of Confidential Information may be subject to
immediate termination of their attachment, internship, participation in a programme and/or their
candidature at the University, or such other disciplinary action as the University may deem appropriate.
Do refer to the website http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/info/info/NUS-Student-ConfidentialityAgreement.pdf for more details.
10.7 Release of Liability
In the course of their studies, students may participate in activities (whether local or overseas) organised
or endorsed by the University as part of their course of study or as part of co-curricular activities or
courses offered by the University. Students may also be accommodated in the University's hostels or may
use the University's sports, recreation and other facilities. All students are required to agree to the terms
prescribed by the University in connection with such participation and use.
-6-
AUGUST 2016
10.8 Authorisation of Medical Procedures and Appointment of Local Representative for

International Students (for International Students only)
In the course of their studies in NUS, international students may need medical attention in the form of
surgery or any other medical procedures or treatment, but may be unable to give or refuse consent to the
same. In such an event, surgeons or consultants in hospitals in Singapore would require a local
representative to be present at the hospital to authorise or refuse consent for the surgery or other medical
procedure or treatment on the patient's behalf.
In order to avoid possible delays to any surgery or other medical procedure or treatment that an
international student may need, international students, or their parent/guardian (where the international
student is under 18 years of age) may do either or both of the following:
appoint a representative in Singapore who is at least 18 years of age (Local Representative') who
will have the authority to authorise or refuse consent for the surgery or other medical procedure
or treatment, on behalf of the student/parent/guardian, as applicable; and /or
authorise NUS, its officers, staff member to authorise or refuse consent for the surgery or medical
procedure or treatment, on behalf of the student/parent/guardian, if none of the student's
parent/guardian/a Local Representative (if any) is contactable at the time of need.
Do refer to the website http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/adminpolicy/acceptance.html for the latest

version of this authorization statement.
11 Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a serious offence. It amounts to intellectual theft. It means to take and use another persons
ideas, writing, work etc as your own. Any student caught plagiarizing will be seriously dealt with.
Offenders may have their candidatures suspended/terminated.
Students are encouraged to refer to the website at http://emodule.nus.edu.sg/ac which has been designed
to provide students with answers on the nature of plagiarism and how the University has dealt with such
matters.
12 Admission Medical Examination
All newly registered students (local & international) are required to undergo an admission medical
examination prior to admission to NUS.
Students who are able to submit documentary proof of similar medical examination done within the past
6 months of enrolment will not have to undergo a second medical examination.
13 Medical Insurance
The Universitys Medical Insurance Scheme, which covers medical expenses relating to hospitalization
and surgery, personal accidents and mental health treatments are compulsory for all full-time local
and international graduate students. The premiums will be included in the miscellaneous student fees of
the student bill on a semester basis.
Further information is available at: http://www.nus.edu.sg/uhc/healthservice/insuranceschemes/graduate-nongraduate-scheme.html .
14 English Language Requirements (for international students)
All international students are required to take an English language proficiency test unless they have been
exempted. This requirement would have been indicated in the letter of offer for admission to the MSc
programme.
As soon as you have accepted the offer, you should register with the Universitys Centre for English
Language Communication (CELC) to sit for the Diagnostic English Test (DET). Registration
information and test date can be found at http://www.nus.edu.sg/celc/.
-7-
AUGUST 2016
The DET is a two-hour placement test for incoming graduate students from non-English medium
universities. Based on the result of this test, students are assigned to appropriate Graduate English Course
modules, which give them language support to help them with their academic tasks. The test requires
students to read some texts and then, synthesising ideas from them, to write an academic essay of about
500 words in response to a question prompt. A sample of the DET paper can be found at
http://www.nus.edu.sg/celc/programmes/det.php.
Students who do not achieve an expected proficiency level in the DET, will need to pass with at least a
Grade C in the Basic ES5000 (if applicable), and Intermediate ES5001A, modules in order to graduate.
Students who take the DET but defer doing the required module, or fail to meet the minimum required
grade at the end-of-course examination in their first semester, must register in the next semester to take,
or repeat, the course. An additional fee of up to S$2,000 is payable for a student who is to repeat a
graduate English course (i.e. when student obtains a grade D and below, and must re-take the module).
The imposition of this penalty is to reinforce in the students the importance of the English language as
the medium of communication in the University.
Please note that candidates who have not taken the DET will not be allowed to take any Graduate English
Course modules.
The Graduate English Course classes are usually conducted twice weekly (two hours per tutorial) for a
total of four hours per week. Satisfactory attendance and progress are expected. If you are required to
take a Graduate English module, attendance is compulsory. A penalty will be imposed on students who
fail to attend regularly.
The Graduate English Course is designed primarily to help you in your MSc studies. Being able to write
well will help you in your written examinations. Having a good command of English will also help you
to communicate clearly so that you can enjoy a more fruitful participation in your classroom
discussions. Moreover, English is very highly valued in the world of business in Singapore. So please
take full advantage of the opportunity provided to you.
15 Course Structure
Graduate courses are usually conducted in the evenings from 6.00 pm to 9.00 pm on Mondays to Fridays.
Students may either take a general course leading to a Master of Science degree in their chosen discipline
or choose an area of specialization [applicable only to MSc(CE), MSc(EE), MSc(ISE), MSc(ME),

While you are pursuing your studies in NUS, you are liable to pay fees. The amount payable may
depend on your nationality as well as whether you have previously enjoyed a Singapore government
subsidy or sponsorship by a government agency.
In essence, students either pay fees as set out in Tables 1 and 4 or Tables 2 and 4, while the MSc (IP
Mgt) students pay fees set out at Tables 3 and 4.
Category 1 Non-subsidised Tuition Fees
Students who have previously enjoyed government subsidy/ sponsorship by Ministry of Education
(MOE) or any Singapore government agency (such as scholarships offered by the Ministries, Public
Service Commission and Statutory Boards) in a graduate programme (either Masters or Ph.D.
degrees) will not be eligible for MOE subsidy in another graduate programme at the same or lower
level. Instead, such students are liable to pay Non-subsidised Tuition Fees.
International students who do not sign Service Obligations Agreement with MOE will have to
pay Non-subsidised Tuition Fees. This takes effect from the Academic Year 2015/2016.
The Non-subsidised Fees rates determined by MOE for Academic Year 2016/2017 are shown in
Table 1. The Non-subsidised Fees rates payable for subsequent Academic Years are subject to
revision. For the latest updates, please visit the website: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/gdfees.html.

obligation, international students may be offered the option of signing the Service Obligation Agreement in
exchange for reduced tuition fees. However, international students can only apply for the service obligation with
MOE on condition that they have not previously enjoyed MOE subsidy in another graduate programme (see Note 4
below).
International students who have signed the Service Obligation Agreement are required to work in Singapore-based
companies for 3 years upon graduation. Singapore-based companies refer to local and international companies that
have a base in Singapore that is registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) as well
as companies of such local and international companies registered with ACRA that are based overseas. For further
information on the Service Obligation Scheme, you may refer to http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduatestudies/service-obligation.php .
NOTE:
1. All fees shown here are in Singapore dollars and include the prevailing GST.

Transfer fee for transfer between MSc programmes
Students who transfer between MSc programmes (within the Faculty of Engineering) with tuition fees
differential will be liable to pay a transfer fee. This transfer fee will be computed based on the semesters
fees which the student would like to have the transfer made effective. The following are taken into
consideration in the computation of the transfer fee:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Students status (full-time or part-time) ; &

Students nationality (Singaporean / SPR or International) ; &
Number of modules taken and approved for transfer (semester basis) to a new programme ; &
Difference in tuition fees between the two programmes at the point of transfer of the candidature.
Transfer fee for former research scholars

For research (PhD or MEng) students who did not complete their respective research degree under NUS
funding and are subsequently admitted to a MSc programme will also be liable to pay a transfer fee. The
following are taken into consideration in the computation of the transfer fee:
(a) Students nationality (Singaporean / SPR or International) ; &
(b) Prevailing full-time coursework fees per annum as at the semester of admission to the MSc
programme ; &
(c) Number of modules taken and approved for transfer (semester basis) to a new programme.

examination, depending on each students academic performance, he/she will be emplaced in one of the
following academic standing:
Passed; or
Probation; or
Warning; or
Dismissal
In general (except for students who obtained a CAP of < 1.50 during their first semester of study),
students who are not performing within expectations, will be issued with either an academic warning or
an academic probation before he/she is issued with a letter of dismissal and denied re-admission.
20.1 Coursework Requirements
Examinations are usually held at the end of each semester of study. Students who have taken their exams
will be able to view their examination results from the Campus Solutions website
(https://myisis.nus.edu.sg) Self-service Enrollment View My Exam Results. The coursework
requirements for students registered from August 2003 are:
1. Modular Credits (MCs)
Each existing M.Sc. module of 39 hours of lecture is to be assigned 4 modular credits.

CAP for MSc Graduation 3.00

Total MCs for Graduation 40
A candidate who is absent in the examination of a module without a valid reason acceptable to the
Board of Examiners will be given Grade F (Fail) for the module which he/she is absent in.
Modules with no assigned MCs or grade points are excluded from the calculation of CAP.
There are a number of situations for which no grade points are assigned:
Incomplete (IC)
The IC grade is assigned when a students work is of passing quality but is incomplete for good
reasons (e.g. illness during the official examination period). However, even such good reasons will
not warrant an IC grade if the work already completed for the module is clearly not of passing
- 15 -
AUGUST 2016
quality; instead, students should note that the F grade will be assigned in such cases. A module
assigned an IC grade normally cannot be used to fulfil the pre-requisite of a higher-level module.
Should a student choose to repeat the module in a subsequent semester, none of the work done
previously may be carried forward for assessment purposes.
In Progress (IP)
For a module that extends beyond more than one semester, evaluation of a students performance is
deferred until the completion of the module. The provisional grade of IP is assigned in the
intervening semesters. This is replaced with the final grade when the student completes the module.
Withdrawn (W)
When a student withdraws from a module between the first day of Week 3 of the Instructional Period
and the last day of the Recess Week, a W grade will be recorded in the transcript. Withdrawals after
this period (i.e. from the first day of Week 7 of the Instructional Period) will result in an F grade,
which
will
be
included
in
the
computation
of
the
CAP.

The above rules on probation/warning and dismissal shall also apply to a candidate on
an exchange programme, and/or a candidate on leave of absence of one semester or
longer. If a candidate is given an academic probation/warning prior to his leave, the
probation/warning prior to his leave shall count towards dismissal.
A module can only be repeated once regardless of whether this is for a previously failed
module or for a core module for which the student failed to secure the expected
minimum proficiency grade. Students who fail an elective module twice, subject to
the conditions under 3 (a) (ii) may be allowed to take another module instead.
- 16 -
AUGUST 2016
However, students who did not secure the minimum proficiency grade for a repeated
core module will be dismissed from the programme.
The number of modules that a student can repeat for the entire MSc candidature is three
(equivalent to 12 MCs).

For approved leave of absence, students are reminded that:
should they not do well in their examination, the approved leave of absence will not be considered
as extenuating circumstances for any special consideration ;
periods of leave of absence of up to 2 semesters are not considered towards the maximum period
of candidature but they should plan their studies so as to complete their degree requirements
within the maximum candidature ;
applications submitted after the deadline for fees payment would render students liable for fees
for that semester.
The maximum period of leave of absence granted is 2 semesters (for part-time candidates) during the
student's period of candidature. Request for leave of absence beyond 2 semesters will be considered on
a case by case basis. Should the request be not approved, candidate might be required to withdraw from
the programme.

27 International Candidates
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) will usually issue social visit passes valid for two
weeks to international candidates upon their arrival in Singapore. During this period such international
candidates must apply for a Student Pass (after completing all registration formalities with OGP).
The International Student Services (ISS) unit at the Office of Student Affairs was set up to oversee the
welfare of international students at the University. They offer advice and assistance with immigration,
financial, social, health, employment and other matters. International students with personal problems
can also be assured of their attention. Students may refer to http://www.nus.edu.sg/osa/iss/ for more
information relevant to international students on immigration matters, accommodation, transport
services, etc.
Students who require more details are advised to see the officer-in-charge at the Office of Student Affairs
(3rd Level of Yusof Ishak House) or call 6516 4817 or fax 6778 5902.
International students (on Students Pass) who withdraw or leave the University are required to call
immediately at ICA, Immigration and Checkpoints Authority Building at 10 Kallang Road
(Tel: 6391 6100), during office hours with their passport for cancellation of their Students Pass.
Students applying for an extension of the Students Pass are advised to submit the application using the
Application for Extension of Students Pass Form at least one month and not more than 2 months before
the expiry date of the current Students Pass. Students must surrender their current Students Pass at ICA
for cancellation at least 7 days before the date of expiry, at which a short term visit pass will be issued
for them to complete the formalities for the issuance of the new Students Pass. (This is essential even
though the student has obtained the In-Principle Approval letter which allows the student to complete the
formality for the extension within 3 months).
For further details, please refer to:
http://www.nus.edu.sg/osa/iss/life-in-nus/student-pass/cancellation.
International students who have lost their Students Pass and/or the Social Visit Pass and
disembarkation/embarkation card are required to apply for a replacement within 7 days from the date of
loss. A statutory declaration or a police report is required. For further details, please refer to:

during school term and work full-time during vacation as the Ministry of Manpower has exempted them
from applying for work permits.
Students Pass holders found to have violated the above regulations may have their candidatures
terminated immediately by NUS.

29 File for Graduation

All MSc graduates are not required to file for graduation in their final semester of study. Instead, they
will automatically be eligible to graduate by the semester when they fulfil all the graduation requirements
for their respective MSc programmes of study.
Upon the release of exam results, students may print a Student Status Letter. Please refer to the details as
summarised in section 26. This can be done while waiting for the Conferment Letter to be sent
electronically to the students after 28 February (for Semester 1 graduates) or after 30 June (for Semester
2 graduates).
30 Commencement / Convocation Ceremony
A number of ceremonies for the presentation of graduates conferred since the previous ceremony are held
in July each year (subject to changes). The degree scroll will be presented to all conferred MSc graduates
at the ceremony. Information will be sent to the MSc graduates nearer the date of the ceremony.

the requirements for the area of specialization will then be awarded the area of specialization in their
respective Master of Science degrees. However, the area of specialization will only be reflected in the

requirements for the area of specialization will be awarded the degree of Master of Science (Mechanical
Engineering). The degree title will be printed on his/her degree scroll, without the area of specialization. The area
of specialization will only be reflected on his/her official transcript of academic records.
Students are reminded to check their area of specialization opted for (if applicable) during the online
