Pre-allocation results
• Will be released on June 11.
• Will send via NUS email: CHM Level 1 Students
• Will also be posted on chemistry website, link:
Notices on Semester 1 AY 2012/2013.
• Plan the timetable of other modules based on the allocated lecture and lab session.
• Appeals will be strictly based on timetable clash which leads to delay of graduation, and subjected to vacancy availability.

Appeal to change lecture or experiment group
Reasons to be considered
Timetable clash with lecture(s) of core/essential module *
(applicable to double degree, double major, minor and special program)
* Unable to take such core/essential module will result in delay of graduation
[3 yr for B.Sc.; 4 yr for B.Sc. (honors)]
Agreement of mutual swop between two students: applicable to the same lab module in the same semester, but different lab group.
Reasons not considered
Timetable clash with lecture of elective module
[choose alternative module or alternative semester]
Timetable clash with tutorial/practical
(both essential and elective)
[choose alternative session]
Non-academic activity
Personal reason
Students are not allowed to skip the lab session to attend other tutorial, lecture, etc, regardless of the duration of such skipping.
