All undergraduate and graduate students are required to undergo a pre-enrolment medical examination prior to entering NUS. The cost of the medical examination shall be borne by the student. The medical examination will consist of the following:

Physical Examination
Laboratory Examination*
Chest X-ray
HIV Test (for international students only)
* Note: Ladies are advised to go for the medical checkup after their menstruation as a urine test is required.

This medical examination can be done by your own physician or at the University’s Health, Wellness and Counselling Centre (UHWC), Level 4, Yusof Ishak House (YIH), NUS.  For your convenience, you are strongly encouraged to have your medical examination done at UHWC. The cost of the medical examination and chest X-ray is S$30 (excluding GST) for Singaporeans while the cost of the medical examination without the chest X-ray is S$25 (excluding GST).  For international students, the cost is $45 (excluding GST) which also covers the HIV test for student pass application. Please bring along a blank copy of the NUS medical examination report form on the day of your medical examination (for graduate students, the medical form is enclosed with the enrolment booklet that will be sent to you). If you choose to consult your own physician, the form must be completed by you and your physician and submitted, with the chest x-ray film and reports of the laboratory tests attached, on the day of registration. International students who opt to have their medical examination done at UHWC can collect the completed medical report form for the student pass application 5 working days after the checkup.

The University may require you to undergo further medical examinations, such as a blood test, before your admission is confirmed.  Nonetheless, unless you hear from us to the contrary, you may assume that the University has received your medical report and that it is in order.

Returning NS men who wish to commence their studies in the Special Term (i.e. in May and June) must complete the Special Term Module Registration by the end of the designated period. Those who fail to do so will automatically be treated as commencing their candidature in Semester 1 of the academic year (i.e. in August).

Module registration for the Special Term will be held in March (Part 1) and June (Part 2) and should be completed online. Do note that you must complete the online Pre-registration before you can proceed with the Special Term Module Registration. You have to use your Student Number and PIN to access the online system, both of which could be obtained via the Pre-Registration System. The Special Term Module Registration results will be sent to your NUS student email account.

NUS undergraduate students who are successful in their application to transfer to another course of study must declare if they wish to start the new course on a clean slate or with a full credit transfer. Starting the new course of study on a clean slate means there will be no waiver, credit transfer/exemption of modules. Please note that students transferring to Dentistry, Law or Medicine will have to start on a clean slate as the transfer of modular credits and CAP is not applicable to these courses.  Those opting for a full credit transfer should note that modules accepted for credit transfer/exemption/waiver must not have been used towards earning a degree at NUS or another institution and the minimum residency requirement is applicable to the new programme of study. Faculty of Engineering students who are transferring to another course of study within the Faculty will have to opt for full credit transfer.  

Please click here to indicate your option. If you do not exercise your option by 28 December 2007 (by 10 am), it will be deemed that you have withdrawn your application for a transfer of course and you will therefore remain in your original course of study.
