*ECE Research students, please refer to the Dept’s email announcement on additional steps to be taken.

Due to changes in programme structure and tuition fees for various MSc programme in NUS, students may now incur additional charges (per course basis) for enrolling in Cross-Programme/Department/Faculty courses. Such charges (if applicable) will depend on the course host offering department and will be billed to student on top of the tuition fee in the applicable semester. Login to the ECE student e-station in Graduate Programme > Announcement and Notices > Announcement posted/edited on 13 July 2023.

A student may drop a course he/she is enrolled in so long as the remaining Units meet the minimum workload requirement.

When dropping a course, students should be mindful of the “W” and “F” grade penalty period (refer to Academic Calendar). Course dropped with a "F" grade penalty will have impact on student's GPA.

In general, students will be able to drop courses via the [Drop Classes] function before the “F” grade period.

Courses such as seminars, IA, RA, MSc project are not droppable.

The function to drop courses is disabled during the ‘F’ grade effective period. ECE students will need to contact ECE Dept Office for assistance.

For the CourseReg Schedule and Appeal Timeline, please refer to: https://www.nus.edu.sg/coursereg/schedule-and-timeline.html

For appeal type “Unable to secure course”, the appeal window will open after the end of the CourseReg round 3. ECE Dept will only process the appeals when the appeal window is opened.

Please note that ECE Dept will not be opening the appeal window for Round 0. If you are unsuccessful in securing a course in Round 0, you are advised to exercise in the following Round 1, 2 and 3.

For appeal type “Unable to fulfil requisites”, ECE graduate students are required to obtain course lecturer's approval via email and to upload the approved email (only 1 pdf file) as a supporting document when submitting the appeal.

Appeals without the supporting document will be rejected. Do note that approval from the course lecturer does not guarantee successful enrolment of the course(s).

Students who have been granted approval for the waiver of requisites of a course are responsible to do their own reading on the related course materials. This waiver cannot be used as an extenuating circumstance should you fail or perform poorly in your studies.

To facilitate efficient handling of appeals, students should select the correct appeal type.

Avoid using appeal type ‘Issues While Selecting Courses’ for unsuccessful allocation of courses, unfulfilled requisite requirements, EE4 or Cross-Faculty course requests.

All appeals are subject to either system allocation (assuming course condition is met), quota availability, seniority, programme requirement, or case-by-case basis.
