Online Application Form Type I

Candidates who have been issued an Admission Personal Identification Number (PIN) can apply using this application form. You must log in using your NRIC / FIN number and Admission PIN after selecting Online Application Form Type I. An example of an 8 alpha-numeric character Admission PIN is A234567. Upon a successful login, you will be presented a pre-filled form. You must verify the information presented (e.g. personal particulars and results) and fill in additional information if required. The advantages of using this system are:

• Minimal data entry is required.
• Submission of paper supporting documents is only required if there are discrepancies. If all data displayed are accurate, you will not have to submit any documents.
• Provide access to online status enquiry and other functions.

The following applicants will be pre-assigned a PIN:

• School applicants who sat for the Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'A' Level examination in 2009
  2009 school applicants will be issued an Admission PIN (8 alpha-numeric character, case sensitive) by NUS to access the online application system. The PIN slip will be sent to the postal address by end February 2010.
• Private applicants who sat for the Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'A' Level examination in 2009
  MOE will issue an alpha-numeric PIN in February 2010 to private candidates to view your ‘A' Level results online. You can use the original PIN issued by MOE to access the online admission application system.
• Full-time National Servicemen (NSF) who have reserved places at NUS
  NUS will issue an Admission PIN (8 alpha-numeric character, case sensitive) to all NSF, who have reserved places at NUS, to access the online application system if you wish to apply for a change in course. The PIN slip will be sent to your postal address in January/February 2010.

If you have not received, or have forgotten or misplaced your PIN, please bring along your NRIC, student pass or passport to seek a replacement of your PIN from the Office of Admissions:

University Hall, Tan Chin Tuan Wing
Level Lower Ground
21 Lower Kent Ridge Road
Singapore 119077

You may also send a representative, with a letter of authorisation and your NRIC, student pass or passport to collect the new PIN on your behalf. The letter of authorisation should bear your signature, NRIC, FIN or passport number and the representative's NRIC, FIN or passport number.

We regret that we are unable to reveal PIN over the phone and/or email.

Detailed instructions on completing Online Application Form Type I will be posted by mid February 2010.

Online Application Form Type II

Unsuccessful candidates who have applied for admission under Category 'A' in 2009 or earlier will use this form. However, if you have retaken the Singapore Cambridge GCE 'A' Levels examination in 2009 as a School candidate, you will then be using Online Application Form Type I by using the new PIN as reflected in the PIN slip which will be sent to your postal address in mid February 2010. If you have retaken the Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'A' Levels examination in 2009 as a private candidate, you will then use the PIN given to you by MOE (as indicated above).

Other candidates who are not in the above mentioned groups may also apply for admission. In the application form, you will be asked to enter an Admission PIN (8 alpha-numeric character, case sensitive). Please note that the Admission PIN is case sensitive. We regret that it is not possible to issue an Admission PIN in advance.

These candidates and those who choose not to use Online Application Form Type I can apply using the blank Online Application Form Type II instead. Candidates using this form must submit supporting documents. The documents to be submitted will be stated on the acknowledgement page of the online application.

Detailed instructions on completing Online Application form Type II will be posted by mid February 2010.
