As you may have noticed, our logo has had a slight addition.

The reason is simple:
We want you and your families to be safe. For that to happen, we all have to play our part by staying at home. Limit any social interactions and gatherings beyond your homes.

Lets stay smart, stay safe and work from home.

Should I exercise my S/U option?

The University has implemented a one-off S/U option for all courses in light of the COVID-19 situation. NTUSU would like to encourage students to continue trying their best and studying hard.

If you are planning to exercise the S/U Option this semester, here are some considerations before making your decision.

Minimum Graded AUs (inclusive of all courses i.e Core, Major PE and GER Cores)

- Three-year courses: 52 AUs
- Four-year courses/direct year two courses: 69AUs
- Double Degree: Minimum AU of graded courses to be obtained is the same as its corresponding single degree programme
- More details on Section 2.4 of AUS Handbook here

Prerequisite and GER-Core Electives
- Prerequisite: Check with your respective faculties if exercising the S/U Option on prerequisite electives will affect future electives
- GER-Core: Check with your professors/course coordinators if you are allowed to exercise the S/U Option on GER-Core electives
*These vary across the different schools/courses

Final Year Projects
- S/U Option cannot be exercised on Final Year Projects

How to exercise the S/U Option?
- A student will receive AU towards his degree only if he attains an ‘S’ (Satisfactory) grade. He earns no AU for courses with a 'U' grade
- You may declare here if you would like to exercise the S/U Option
- Deadline: Sunday, 12 May 2020, 10pm

For more details on minimum AU requirements and academic matters, please refer to the AUS Handbook 2019/20 here.

NTUSU supports all students: Aid for students affected by trip suspension

NTUSU understands the challenges faced by students who had their overseas programmes suspended in view of the COVID-19 situation. We have been working closely with the University Management to ensure that these students are equitably supported.

1. Reimbursements
- Upon taking NTUSU's feedback into consideration, the University will be reviewing claims of students regarding additional essential expenses incurred due to having to cut short their overseas programme (i.e costs for change in flight bookings or cancellation fees, visa fees, and accommodation)
- Procedures and FAQs will be provided shortly

2. Academic
- Arrangements will be made for students who are unable to complete credit transfer due to the trip suspension
- Students are advised to review study plans with their faculties and explore possible course options for special terms and AY20/21 Semester
- This is to cushion the impact of the disruption and prevent delay in graduation

The Ministry of Health has identified two locations at Jurong Point (NTUC FairPrice outlet and Shokutsu Ten Japanese Food Street) as public places visited by people infected with COVID-19 for more than 30 minutes.
