Knowing Your Degree Requirements
- View your degree requirements in the NUS Bulletin or your department websites
- View your Advanced Placement Credits (if applicable)
- Check your department recommended schedule / study plan (refer to links on the side)
- Check if you require bridging courses in Math, Physics or English
- Work out your requirements if you are enrolled in special programmes e.g. E Scholars Programme, iDP, DDP, NUSC, UTCP, RVRC.
Accessing CourseReg & NUSMods
- Check that you can log into myEduRec. Use your NUSNET ID (e.g. e1234567) instead of your Student Number (e.g. A1234567N) to log in.
- Complete the Academic Plan Application & Declaration (APAD) exercise. You can only make one declaration each semester.
- Navigate to CourseReg and look up your pre-allocated classes under "View My Classes". Check that they match the courses in your recommended schedule.
- Determine if you need to register for more courses, beyond those that you have been pre-allocated. The usual academic workload is 20 units (~5 courses) per semester. In Year 1 Semester 1, you are allowed to take up to 23 units.
