2. Online Module Registration

You are required to select your modules for this coming Semester. You may do so through the computer, either on campus or through the convenience of your computer at home or in the office. You are required to do this exercise only if you are reading module(s) for this Semester. If you plan to take leave of absence for the Semester, please file your application online via MyISIS website at https://myisis.nus.edu.sg/ before the end of the Instructional Week 2 of the semester. Otherwise, you will be liable to pay fees for the Semester. Students who are not on approved leave of absence and who fail to register for any module are assumed to be no longer interested in the course and their M.Sc. candidatures would be deemed to be dismissed. The attached note gives the instructions for carrying out this exercise. Please register for your modules early to avoid disappointment (as popular modules may be over-subscribed). Do ensure that you do not encounter either class time-table or examination date clashes when you select to read your modules for the semester. The University imposes an add/drop period for modules on all graduate students. Please take note of the various deadlines (as summarised in the attached instructions) to avoid being penalised for dropping module(s) late. Students who drop their module(s) from 4 March 2013 (inclusive) will be awarded with Grade F. If you intend to read a module offered by another Engineering Department within the Faculty of Engineering or another Faculty, you will not be able to register for these modules online. Instead, please approach Ms Sharon Lum at ChBE office, E5-02-09 for an application form. The completed form must reach your Department’s Office no later than 24 January 2013 (5.00 pm). Your request would be considered on a case-by-case basis according to the relevance of the module to your degree of study, module availability, ChBE’s approval as well as the teaching department’s approval. A copy of this Form (GSE 2/2005) can be downloaded from the web site: http://www.eng2.nus.edu.sg/proj/eeintranet/Student/Grad/CFM_2005.pdf
