Similar to the Student Exchange Programme, courses taken during the summer/winter programmes must be graded, although it is not considered into the computation of the GPA.

All Summer/Winter programmes are expected to take place in-person, online/hybrid programmes will not be considered.

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

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