Q1. I have forgotten my NUSNET password. Are there other ways for me to register my attendance?

Registration of attendance for Commencement is done mainly through the Online Attendance Registration System.

For alumni (i.e. you have earlier been conferred your degree), you can send an email to itcare@nus.edu.sg to request for a password reset.

For current students who are expecting to graduate, please bring along your Student Card to Computer Centre Level 1 to request for a password reset. You can refer to the NUSNET Password Guide for more information.

Once you have reset your NUSNET password, you can proceed to register your attendance for Commencement via the Online Attendance Registration System.
