Important Notes

  1. NUS Business School does not support programmes that extend into the new academic semester; LOA will not be approved for such cases.
  2. Students in their final semester of their degree are not eligible for Summer/Winter Programmes. Tuition fees remain payable for students who are pending credit transfer in their final semester.
  3. To be eligible for credit transfer,
    • the programmes must take place in person; online/hybrid programmes do not qualify for credit transfer.
    • course must be mapped to a NUS course
    • course taken must be graded, not on pass/fail basis.
  4. Course mapping does not equate to credit transfer.
  5. For foreign BBA/BAC students planning to join the Summer/Winter programmes to fulfil GIS or GEM, participation in your home country will not count towards the graduation requirement. Refer to the GIS/GEM Infopage for details.
