  1. Course mapping requests will NOT be processed if the submission in EduRec is ahead of the above timeline (i.e., mapping requests submitted between January & March for SEP in Semester 1 or Summer Programmes will NOT be processed. Students have to re-submit their request from April onwards.)
  2. For courses that are already approved on the pre-approved Course Mapping List in EduRec, students are to ensure that they enter the PU course CODE, TITLE and UNIT accurately. This is to facilitate automatic approval performed by the system.

 

Business Course Mapping Procedure

Please be guided by User Guide for Students: Submission of Course Mappings on NUS Student Portal. The Course Mapping Worksheet will be routed to the faculty/school that offers the NUS course for review.

For mapping to NUS Business School courses,

  1. Select courses offered by the Partner University (PU).
  2. Search the pre-approved Course Mapping List in EduRec for the list of courses that had been pre-approved to NUS Business School courses.
    • If the course mapping is found in the List, please submit a Course Mapping Worksheet. All details on the Worksheet must be complete. It will be auto-approved.
    • If the course mapping is not found in the List,
      1. compare the PU course outline with BIZ course outlines, and proceed to steps b. and c. only if there are significant syllabus match
      2. email the detailed PU course outline in a Word document using this template (one course mapping per word document) to the SEP Coordinator*. All parts of the word document must be complete. Professor relies on this document to review the request.
