General Criteria for Non-Graduating (Exchange/Non-Exchange)
Students
You must be a current student registered at another University and have
completed at least two semesters (one full year) of college/university level and
must continue to assume this status throughout your intended duration of
study at NUS under the non-graduating programme.
As English is the main language of instruction at the University (except for
Asian/European studies where a good command of the respective
Asian/European language is a pre-requisite), you must be proficient in the
English language in order to benefit from your studies at NUS.

non-English medium institution (exchange and non-exchange)
applying to read graduate level modules from NUS School of
Business (i.e. modules with prefix BMA5XXX) and are not from
one of NUS' MBA Programme partner universities. (Note: GMAT
score is also required in addition to TOEFL/IELTS)
The following requirements must be met:
a. Test of English as a Foreign Language [TOEFL] score of at least:
(i) 600 for the paper-based test; or
(ii) 250 for the computer-based test; or
(iii) 100 for the Internet-based test
b. International English Language Testing System (IELTS) result of at least 6.5;
or
c. any other qualifications as determined by the respective faculties/schools in
NUS.
These candidates may also be subject to a telephone interview.
To come here as an Exchange student, you must be currently enrolled at one
of our exchange partner universities and be nominated by your home
university. Please contact the relevant office at your university which is
responsible for student exchange programmes, or our International Relations
Office, to determine your eligibility.
If your home university does not have a formal exchange agreement with NUS
or if you have not been selected by your home university to study abroad under
an exchange agreement, you may apply as a fee paying Non-Exchange
student. Non-Exchange students follow the same programme of study as
incoming exchange students, except that they do not enjoy tuition fee waiver.

1. Workload Requirements
Based on the full-time NUS undergraduate student’s average workload, a fulltime Non-Graduating student should read not more than 20 MCs worth of
modules (approximately 5 modules) per regular semester, regardless of
whether modules are set to audit or examinable. A workload of 20MC would
typically require a student to spend an average of 50 hours of study per week
over 13 weeks of classes.
Non-graduating international students are required to read a minimum
workload of 12 MCs (approximately 3 modules) or pursue full-time research
during regular semester. They are responsible for ensuring that the modules
registered would fulfil the graduation requirements at the home university.
This minimum workload is also a requirement to qualify for a Student's Pass
issued by the Immigration Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
2. Module Selection & Enrolment
As part of your application, you will be asked to indicate the modules that you
would like to be enrolled in at NUS from a list of available modules on offer.
Please ensure that the modules selected (a minimum of 3 modules with at least
3 additional modules as reserves) are offered during the semester for which
you have applied. Exchange students admitted under some Faculty/Department
specific programmes may have to meet additional requirements. Please check
with your Home Faculty/Department before you proceed to select your
modules.
If you intend to apply to read language module(s) offered by the Centre of
Language Studies (CLS) (i.e. modules with prefix ‘LA’ e.g. LAC/LAM/LAF/LAG,
etc), you are required to provide a certification letter from your Home
University to declare your level of proficiency in the language(s). Please note
that you may be required to sit for placement test(s) as approval to read the
language module(s) at the appropriate level shall be subject to test result and
available vacancy. For placement test schedules and other relevant information,
please refer to the CLS website.
Approval of modules selected would be required from the relevant academic
departments. Please note that while we will do our best to assist you with your
module selection, we are unable to guarantee your enrolment in the modules
selected as they are subject to fulfillment of the prescribed pre-requisites,
availability and timetabling factors.

** Candidates who are admitted on an audit basis will only attend lectures and
will not be permitted to sit for examinations. Participation in other practical
components (e.g. tutorials, laboratory work, fieldwork) will be at the discretion
of the respective faculty/department.
4. Class & Examination Timetables
It is important that you check the class and examination timetables of all the
modules you intend to take to ensure there are no clashes. The timetable
builder can be located here in June of each AY. If the timetables for the
upcoming semester are not available at the time of your application, you may
view the previous academic year’s timetables as a benchmark.
Please note that in the event of any schedule clashes for any of your modules
selected, we will not be able to accommodate in any way and you will have to
forgo one of the clashed modules.
5. Changing of Modules
You may make changes to your choice of modules at the beginning of the
semester after you have registered. For the general time schedule within which
students must add or drop a module, please click here (refer to the one for
graduate students).
As the actual dates may vary each semester, students are advised to check
their registration booklet (enclosed in your offer package) for the applicable
deadlines in each semester.
Module enrolment for Non-Graduating students is not done through the NUS
Centralized Online Registration System (CORS). Details on the procedures to
add/drop modules will be provided in your offer package.
6. Transcript & Credit Transfer
For Exchange students, two copies of your transcript (one of which is a
complimentary copy for the student) will be sent directly to the relevant offices
of your home university responsible for student exchange programmes,
approximately two months after the completion of the semester (unless
otherwise arranged with the partner university). You will have to make your
own arrangements to collect your complimentary transcript from the relevant
office(s) at your home university.
For Non-Exchange students, a copy of your transcript will be sent directly to
you at the mailing address as updated in our records, approximately two
months after the completion of the semester.
For additional copies of transcripts, students are required to submit an online
request. Prevailing fees will apply.
