Forwarded from NUS On The Move
Reminder for those looking to have a second major/minor that is “restricted” (those that need approval in order to declare it—refer to the list in the screenshot) that this is due soon (1 Dec)!
P.S. if you don’t do this, you won’t be able to declare these as your second major/minor during the normal edurec academic plan declaration period since this prior approval is needed.
Note that there are usually requirements to fulfil to even get approval, e.g. having taken certain courses (so you may not be eligible to apply now—you may want to research on this so that you can take relevant courses to be eligible to apply for approval in future). https://www.nus.edu.sg/coursereg/docs/APAD_Appln_List_of_Restricted_Programmes.pdf

Also, some other deadlines/advice:
• Sem 2 Round 2 hostel applications (easily missed bc it’s open for just a few days):
27 Nov to 3 Dec 2024
https://osa.nus.edu.sg/accommodation/hostel-application/application-guide-undergraduate/application-dates/
Noting that most halls have their own separate Master’s List process (which for most halls are likely over by now), the above deadline is likely more applicable to UTR/PGP.
• Change course of study/degree
Actually, the deadline to transfer courses is already over (ended 12 Nov). Admittedly, this deadline comes earlier than when most students would be able to decide whether they want to switch courses especially if they are in y1 sem 1. If (perhaps after finals) you decide you want to switch courses, you can try writing-in albeit it being past the deadline. The NUS office has historically allowed students to appeal for late transfer (though you should probably do so ASAP). This means an extra step and likely lower chances, though.
There will be another window to apply in Sem 2, but the above is for those who want a different course by Sem 2.
• Exam results release
Usually, these are out in late December (27 Dec for last AY).
For those who feel they didn’t manage this sem or finals well and
expect that their grades/GPA may drop, it’s probably recommended to apply for anything important before the results release (e.g. applying for summer internship using your current transcript/GPA).

Atb to those still having finals! 💪🏻💯

^^ exam results are out tmr! However, it will only be officially in your transcript at a later date — so if you’re looking to make e.g. intern applications with a better looking transcript (if you expect a drop in grades), there’s still time to make your applications before then.
Although there are officially different timings for exam results release for different faculties, you’d usually be already able to view your results on the uNivUS app (under “Exam Results”) at around 7 a.m. before those timings. All the best! 💯
Apple Online Store Holiday Sales (Closing 25 Dec)
Also, if you’re looking to give yourself a post-exam-release treat, you can check out @ThisCounted (we have shared them on here previously). In particular, there’s an exclusive deal closing on 25 Dec 🎄 for Apple purchases (includes the iPhone, not just MacBook/iPad) where you get bonus gift cards/cash with your purchase: https://t.me/ThisCounted/1179

S/U is only open until 26 Dec 6 p.m.—but there is generally no need to S/U now. You will still be given the option to S/U your Sem 1 grades after Sem 2 (during Sem 2's S/U period). There may be a few reasons why you might consider using the S/U anyway in this semester, and all of them boil down to one reason: that there are stuff (e.g. internship, scholarship, or SEP applications) that require or look at your Sem 1 grades before the Sem 2 results/Sem 2 SU period occurs. E.g. if you are going to make an application for internship or something else in the middle or maybe even late Sem 2, it's highly likely they won't be waiting till you get your Sem 2 results before getting back to you--instead you only have your Sem 1 GPA. For some, this may provide good reason to S/U to inflate your GPA now. Consider if you are going to be applying for anything in the middle of next sem that may put you in such a situation.
Another possible reason is that you may be applying to transfer courses: in this case, it is not clear whether your post or pre-S/U GPA would be looked at.
There’s also another reason that’s not really applicable to most y1s: the Dean’s List. Majority of faculties do not let freshies on this in y1. The School of Computing is a known exception, where it is possible for y1s to be on the dean’s list. However, you may find it a bit of a gamble to S/U a grade just to be on the dean’s list: even if you SU the grade, it's not guaranteed to be on it. SOC students should check for any faculty-specific requirements (and if they look at post or pre-S/U). For various faculties, there may be requirements of a certain number of units of graded courses such that even if it is post-S/U that is looked at, you probably cannot S/U more than one course (assuming normal course load) to enter the dean’s list.
What if I don’t want to waste my S/U but need to temporarily inflate my GPA (to apply for ___)?
For whatever reason you need this for, there might be a way, though only for a limited duration. We are not suggesting this as a “loophole”—we are sharing this only assuming you have valid reasons. If the module you had a bad grade for had some sort of unfairness during the exam (e.g. there was an exam I took years ago where the internet cut off mid-way which was v disruptive), then you may request for (late) special consideration. In this wait time when your grades’ appeal is being assessed (regardless of subsequent outcome), your transcript will show ‘IP’ (in progress) for that module instead of its actual grade until the appeal is addressed. Not very sure if this is still how it works today and you should do this only if you have an actual reason, though.
When is the transcript with the recent semester’s grades available? 4 Jan! (so you can still make applications, till then, with your current transcript that won’t show the last semester’s grades)

Academic Plan Declaration exercise is open now till 20th January 5 p.m.!
As suggested before, you can change your declaration every sem, so many may choose to temporarily declare a second major/minor that gives bidding priority during CourseReg for courses under that second major/minor.

Academic Plan Declaration exercise is open now till 20th January 5 p.m.! As suggested before, you can change your declaration every sem, so many may choose to temporarily declare a second major/minor that gives bidding priority during CourseReg for courses…
P.S. although the exercise is open till 20 Jan, you'd want to do it at least 24h before the first round of CourseReg which is on 2 Jan 9 a.m. ; i.e. you should do your academic plan declaration by 1 Jan 9 a.m.

Remember that coursereg round 1 ends at 12 pm! All the best!

Reminder that round 2 has started and ends tmr 12 p.m.!

Also, for those who didn’t know, the courses that are “ranked” (“main list”) are processed first by the system before looking at “reserve” classes. It’s only if the ranked classes are oversubscribed that the system would consider you for what you have under “reserve classes”—even then, the reserve classes must have vacancies. Reserve classes positioned higher (I.e. #1 instead of #2) also have higher priority than reserve classes positioned lower.
(This should probably mean it doesn’t really help much for your reserve classes to be the same as those in your ranked classes, since if you didn’t get it when the system processed the main list first, it’s unlikely you’d get it when it processes the reserve list).
Additionally, if you’re planning to overload in a sem, e.g. 24 Units or more, it might also be advisable to have the harder-to-bid-for course bidded for in this round, and then bidding for the easy-to-bid-for course in Round 3. You may view past vacancy reports for some sensing of this too (checking whether it typically has excess in Round 3). The following may be useful for this: https://courserekt.vercel.app

Remember that Coursereg Round 3 closes at 12 p.m.! Here are some reasons we have come up with for why some may want to overload:
For y1s, you may want to overload because you have more S/Us you can use in Y1 than in subsequent years--so what some do is they would intentionally overload with mods they can't be bothered with/expect they won't well in, so they can use those S/Us in Y1 and save their subsequent years' S/Us for other modules.
Additionally (and applicable to seniors), if you are aiming for a very good GPA this sem or even the dean's list, it may also be sometimes strategic to overload extra mods you are unsure of, then narrowing down to which modules you really want to take after trying them out. This is because if you drop a module by week 3, it won't show up in your transcript / or if you drop a module before recess week, it would only show up as a 'W' grade with no effect on GPA. This way, you may be able to opt to keep only the modules you expect to do well (which you may have a better sense of by that point in time) and be more likely to get stronger GPA. (that said, it may also be unstrategic to do this if it means you can't cope in the first few weeks)
Of course, a more common reason to overload is because you may want to have an easier workload in your final years in uni!
In fact, if you are able to overload enough across multiple semesters, you would be able to finish your degree earlier, i.e. graduate earlier. This can mean huge savings in school fees and time!

Re-sharing this: Below is a message on the balloting process which isn’t by us, but has been passed down by various NUS seniors! Note that “courses” used to be referred to as “mods”:
“Balloting process
How to ballot like a senior
(by sam chan)
First, here is how the balloting works:
- you rank up to 20 tutorial slots according to your preference, with the slots you want more ranked higher
- you do not have to use all 20, and in fact you can just put one tutorial slot per mod
- the system looks at your first choice, checks the tutorial class, and if there are vacancies, you're in!
- the process then repeats for your second, third choice etc. until you have tutorials for all your mods, or you have no viable options left (i.e. all your preferred tutorials are full)
- it's quite by luck in the sense that if you're the 26th person the system sees for a 25-person class, you don't get it, even if you put it as first choice. hence the term balloting. IT IS NOT FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!
Now that you know how balloting roughly works, here are some pointers!
1. Plan for multiple timetables
- needless to say we all have that one tutorial slot we want (for free day, with friends, both, etc.), however it would be terribly unwise to not have any backup plans/tutorial slots. having three choices per mod is a safe number, although you can go up to 4 per mod (equal distribution among 5 mods) or any number really (unequal distribution)
2. Know your preferences
- even among your first choice tutorial slots for your modules, it's good to know which are the ones you want the most
- generally you get your first three choices, while anything after that is more risky, so you need to priorities which are the ones you diedie must get, and hence rank first
3. Know that certain tutorial slots are more popular
- generally tutorial slots from 10-4 are the more popular ones
- likewise for those on the same day as the lecture for that mod
- you might want to rank these slots higher
- this is more for your knowledge, but if you plan to take this tutorial with say >5 friends, some of you might not get it
Keeping these pointers in mind, you ballot! And here's now:
(note: you don't have to follow this method but I find it really helpful. also, it's based on the assumption that one has 5 mods to ballot for)
1) Note down the tutorial slots you want on a piece of paper (virtual or otherwise) according to your modules, while ranking them at the same time.
- you should have 5 columns of 4 tutorial slots each (assuming equal distribution), already in order of preference
2) Double check the timings and the tutorial number (eg. D3, E5, etc.)
3) Rank all your tutorial slots in a flop-table style (MOST IMPORTANT STEP). This might require some explanation, so bear with me.
Let's say your 5 mods are called 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and it's according to the mod which first-choice tutorial slot you want the most
Each mod has 4 tutorial slots, called A, B, C, and D according to your preference.
Here's how your ranking would look like then:
1A
2A
3A
4A
5A
5B
4B
3B
2B
1B
1C
2C
3C
4C
5C
5D
4D
3D
2D
1D
Basically you "reflect" your mods. Since you're quite likely to get your choices for 1, 2, and 3, but less so for 4, and 5, your sixth and seventh choices should be the second-choice for mods 4 and 5 to increase your chances of getting what you want.
4) Finally, don't panic if you don't have any tutorial slots! There is always add/drop and online swaps, and worst case manual registration. It's all part of student life! But if you follow the above, it's less likely to happen (: “

Reminder that if you drop a module by this weekend, it won’t appear on your transcript at all.
If you drop later than this but by 2 March, you’ll get a “W” grade (which still has no effect on your GPA but just appears on your transcript. Again, to most, this is fine and inconsequential although some fear that interviewers etc. might ask about it)
You generally cannot drop a module after 2 March.
If you found these useful, do share our channel @NUSguide with your friends/juniors 🙌🏻

• The latest inter-university Graduate Employment Survey (GES) has just been released! This shows the starting pay for different degrees. For pre-uni students, this may help you set goals, and for current uni students, it may help you understand your prospects and negotiate salaries with employers.

^ for those who are curious about the Graduate Employment Survey!
——————
On a side note, remember that you can still drop a course by 2 March and get a “W” grade. This is shown on your transcript but has no effect on your GPA.
After this period, you can no longer drop a course. (However, it is not unheard of that exceptions have been made when people wrote in. These are considered rare. Instances have included when a student actually did not partake in all classes/submissions/assessments at all, and sought to drop after the W grade period (but of course, before finals). Other instances include mental health cases.
