Dear students

Due to the tight timeline for your exchange, please find the set of slides of pre-departure information (SEPpredepinfoDec2014) which you may find useful.

Also for those of you with questions before your departure, please feel free to turn up at our consultation sessions. Alternatively you may also email us with your queries.

Have a safe journey and most importantly, enjoy your exchange!

SEP/Summer School Consultation Sessions are back!

This is the Q & A sessions for students who may have questions for SEP, summer schools such as application procedures/ mapping and MC Ratio etc.

We ask that students be punctual and present yourself at the FASS Dean’s Office reception (5th floor, AS7 Shaw Foundation Building) on the relevant days and time. If you are more than half an hour late, you will be asked to come back another day.

There is no need to email for an appointment; all you need to do is show up on time.

Please arrange your questions in advance as this is not a briefing session but a question and answer session. Please refer to the link below for the latest session schedule. http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/intl/special_prog/consulthours.html
