How to register for the module
Reading the module as an iBLOC (for returning full-time National Service men)
For students who have a place reserved for you in NUS, you may clear this requirement by reading MA1301X in the months before you matriculate in NUS. This is catered to students who wish to have a head start in university education and more time to transit to academic life.
More information about the registration schedule and fees are available on the iBLOC website.
Reading the module in your first semester
LECTURE will be pre-allocated to you by the Department of Mathematics, for pre-identified students who do not meet the above criteria.
For polytechnic diploma holders with the necessary certifications, please submit your exemption request HERE
If you have not been pre-allocated, please register for it in ModReg Select Modules (from Round 1 onwards).
Reading the module in your second semester
