Registration of Modules for Bachelor of Technology Programme

Semester I AY 2015/2016
Students are required to register and bid for ALL their modules from 23 July 2015 to 12 August 2015.
The University has introduced the Centralised Online Registration System (CORS) for the bidding of modules. The website

Class Timetable
You can download the class timetable at B.Tech. website: https://btech.eng.nus.edu.sg/btechwp/index.aspx# > click
Current Students tab > look for Class/Exam Timetable > click AY2015-2016 Semester I folder.
If you are prompted for login id, please enter your email id in the format of axxxxxx@nus.edu.sg and email password.

b) Workload
The minimum work-load for one semester is one module whilst the maximum is three modules (excluding
TG3001 Industrial Practice).
In order to read a module which has pre-requisite module(s), a student is required to have read but not necessarily
have passed the pre-requisite module(s), in a previous semester.
In order to read a module which has co-requisite module(s), a student must read the co-requisite module(s) in the
same semester unless he has read but not necessarily has passed the co-requisite module(s), in a previous semester.
All modules available for Semester I, AY2015/2016 are listed below for your easy reference. Please take note that
some of the modules have pre-requisite and/or co-requisite module(s).

c)

Re-taking of Modules
Students may opt to Re-take a module only if;
(i) it is a failed module or
(ii) they have been exempted from sitting for the examination in the previous semester, based on medical grounds and
(iii) the module is offered in the current semester.
Students are advised to re-take all failed modules during the next available semester and try not to delay re-taking
essential modules till the final year.

d) Elective Module
An Elective module may not be offered if there is insufficient number of students opting for that module at any
particular time. Students who are affected will be informed later for re-registration of other modules.
A student who fails an Elective module in the previous semester(s) may opt not to re-take the module but to register
for another module.
e)

Final Year Project

i) Students intending to start their FYP this Semester I AY2015/2016:
If you intend to start your FYP this semester, you would have already been allocated with a project and supervisor.
Please register for your FYP module via CORS. Please note that all students who bid for their FYP module will be
allocated. If you have not been allocated with a project and supervisor, you must not register for your FYP module.
ii) Students who have started their FYP in Semester II AY2014/2015 and earlier:
Please be informed that you do not need to register for your FYP module via CORS. B.Tech. Office will pre-allocate
the module to you.

f)

Degree Requirements
For more details on your degree requirement, kindly visit the website for your respective courses:
Electronics Engineering: https://btech.eng.nus.edu.sg/btechwp/Programme/EE/EEStructure.aspx
There will be a change in the Curriculum Structure for AY2015/2016 Intake. The approved Curriculum Structure and
Recommended Schedules will be uploaded to B.Tech website by mid-August 2015.

g) Grade-free Policy Declaration for First Semester Only (Applicable to AY2014/2015 Cohort onwards)
The new grade-free policy is applicable only to B.Tech. students who are from Semester I AY2014/2015 cohort
onwards. Students will have the flexibility to exercise Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) options for their first two
regular semesters modules (up to 20MCs).
A list of the recommended modules to read in the first two regular semesters are provided below.

Students from Semester I AY2014/2015 cohort onwards, do not need to select and bid for essential modules in their
first & second semester as B.Tech. Office will be pre-allocating the modules as per stated in their recommended
schedule for their first & second semester only.
h) Information on S/U Declaration for All Semesters (Applicable to AY2014/2015 Cohort onwards)
With effect from Semester I AY2014/2015, B.Tech. students will be allowed to exercise the additional of up to
12MCs of S/U option anytime during their candidature, subject to the restrictions below.
Modules not applicable for S/U option
- Level 2000 modules that are with other NUS modules as pre-requisites
- All Level 3000 and 4000 modules
- Modules dropped with F grade
- Modules which student had committed plagiarism
- Modules which a revised grade had been prescribed by Board Of Discipline

Declaration of S/U option

The S/U declaration exercise will be conducted upon the release of examination results and will end by a stipulated

Effective from Semester 2 AY2011/2012, B.Tech. students will NOT be allowed to exercise the S/U option on any
Engineering module (all levels), including those declared as Unrestricted Elective Modules (UEM). Engineering
modules are modules which are originated from the Faculty of Engineering and which are not SS or GEM modules or
the two special B.Tech. modules, TG1422 & TG1423, offered to meet the Breadth requirements. Modules that can be
used for Breadth, or SS and GEM modules are allowed for S/U Option. Please note that all GEMs have module codes
starting with GE and all SS modules have module codes starting with SS.

j)

Additional Technical Electives

We encourage students to read more than the minimum number of Technical Electives (TE) required for their
respective degree program. These additional TEs can continue to be declared as Unrestricted Electives (UE).

k) Tutorial Registration
Please ignore the Tutorial Registration in CORS. The tutorial groups for B.Tech. students will be manually assigned
by the B.Tech. Office.

File for Graduation (FFG)/Commencement

For final year students, if you have accumulated enough Modular Credits (MCs) to graduate (including those modules
that you have successfully bidded), you may file for graduation under the File for Graduation option.

m) GEK1523T
Please note that you are NOT allowed to declare this module as a Breadth module.
n) GEK1010T
To enroll for this module, you must have good English writing skills.

Students who are matriculated in AY2007/2008 are required to register for EITHER TG3001 OR 12 MCs of
Unrestricted Elective Modules (UEMs) to fulfill their degree requirements.
For students who have started but have not completed their TG3001 Industrial Practice, B.Tech. Office will preallocate the module to you.
p) Outstanding fees
Please note that students with outstanding fees will not be able to log in to CORS. It is important for the outstanding
fees (if any) to be settled at least three working days before the CORS bidding exercises start, to ensure that the login

partially paid by the payment due date. For students whose fees remain in arrears, the University reserves the right to
take further action as deemed necessary including barring such students from module registrations in a
subsequent semester, canceling such students current module registrations, withholding results slips or
transcripts, and withholding the confirmation of the award of the degree.
If students are under company-sponsored, please highlight to your company to settle the fees on time as well, as the
penalty fees will also apply.
