(3) Module mapping does NOT equate to credit transfer in these summer/winter programs.

Credit Transfer of Summer Program Modules

With effect from AY2018/19 (August 2018 to July 2019)

– Maximum of 2 modules (up to 10 MCs) can be mapped for summer programs that are at least 4 weeks long
– Maximum of 1 module (up to 5 MCs) can be mapped for summer/winter programs that are 3 weeks long

Total of 12 MCs (3 modules) from a maximum of 2 overseas summer/winter programs can be mapped without having to pay NUS tuition fee. Additional MCs mapped will be subject to special term fee.

Students are required to obtain module mapping approval prior to the start of the summer program if they would like to transfer back the credits earned. Upon completion of the summer program, they will need to submit the transcript to the Student Exchange Office by 15th of October for credit transfer.

Similar to the Student Exchange Program, modules taken during the Summer Programs are non-graded, ie, not considered into the computation of the CAP.

Please refer to: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/academic-information-policies/undergraduate-students/continuation-and-graduation-requirements#ResidencyRequirement, Q8 for the number of non-graded modules students can do in their degree program.

Students are to take note that credits will only be transferred for summer programs administered by NUS i.e., the Business School, GRO, or other non-business faculties. If the summer program is offered by a reputable overseas university but NOT administered by NUS, credit transfer is NOT allowed.
