Credit Transfer for Summer/Winter Programme Courses

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

  • Maximum of 2 courses (up to 10 Units) can be mapped for Summer Programmes that are at least 4 weeks long
  • Maximum of 1 course (up to 5 Units) can be mapped for Summer/Winter Programmes that are 3 weeks long

A total of 12 Units (3 courses) from a maximum of 2 overseas Summer/Winter Programmes can be mapped without having to pay NUS tuition fees. Additional units mapped will be subject to special term fees.

Students are required to obtain course mapping approval prior to the start of the Summer/Winter Programme if they would like to transfer back the units earned. Upon completion of the Summer/Winter Programme, they will need to submit the official transcript to the Student Exchange Team, Undergraduate Studies Office by 15 April or 15 October for credit transfer.

Similar to the Student Exchange Programme, courses taken during the Summer/Winter Programmes must be graded even though they are not considered for computation into 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.
