Instructions to Registration <strong>of</strong> Courses (PHY) Semester 1 AY 2012/2013<br />
1. You are advised to read the instructions to courses registration posted in STARS. Please refer to STARS<br />
for the schedule <strong>of</strong> registration.<br />
2. For all programmes <strong>and</strong> study years from admission year 2010 <strong>and</strong> before, the normal load is 18 AU<br />
<strong>and</strong> the maximum load is 24 AU. For admission year 2011 onwards, the normal load is 17 AU <strong>and</strong> the<br />
maximum load is 20 AU. When you are registering a course that will exceed your normal load, you can<br />
only do so after 5pm on your course registration day. If you wish to read a course that will exceed your<br />
maximum load, you can obtain the overload form (blue form) from SPMS General Office. You should<br />
submit the overload application after the result <strong>of</strong> GER-PE <strong>and</strong> UE allocation is known. Please note that<br />
approval is granted to a specific course that you wish to overload.<br />
3. The following courses are to be read during Semester 1 AY 2012/2013 (subject to pre-requisites).<br />
Students with Admission Year 2012 will have their core courses allocated during the online<br />
matriculation.<br />

6. Students with Admission Year 2010 <strong>and</strong> before must clear MPS812 by this semester.<br />
7. Students with Admission Year 2010 <strong>and</strong> earlier who have not completed MTH110 should register for<br />
MH1400 - Algorithms <strong>and</strong> Computing I <strong>and</strong> MH1401 - Algorithms <strong>and</strong> Computing II.<br />
8. Students who will be taking PAP319 in AY2012/2013 Semester 1 are to email their preferred groups to<br />
Ms Lim See Har – MSHLim@ntu.edu.sg with their name, study year <strong>and</strong> matriculation number before<br />
the add/drop period starts.<br />
9. Students with Admission Year 2012 who are not allocated with Core Courses after they matriculate<br />
online may write in to SPMSUndgrad@ntu.edu.sg<br />
10. Students with Admission Year 2012 who are intending to take up higher level courses whereby the<br />
pre-requisites are fulfilled through exemptions are to write in to SPMSUndgrad@ntu.edu.sg.<br />
Exemptions will only be updated after the add/drop period <strong>and</strong> will only be reflected at the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
semester, together with semester results release.<br />
11. Students who are interested may take graduate courses as prescribed electives or unrestricted<br />
electives. A minimum CGPA <strong>of</strong> 4.00 is required for the application. Students will be required to<br />
fulfill at least 10 AU <strong>of</strong> level 4 [excluding PAP491 Final Year project (10 AU) or PAP493 Industrial<br />
Internship II (10 AU)] <strong>and</strong> above courses as part <strong>of</strong> their graduation requirement under Major PE.<br />
Graduate course information may be found from<br />
http://www.spms.ntu.edu.sg/PAP/Graduates/CourseInformation.html . The application form is<br />
obtainable from http://www.spms.ntu.edu.sg/PAP/Default.html . These are the graduate courses<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered in AY2012/2013 Semester 1:<br />
PAP710: Concepts in Statistical Mechanics.<br />
PAP711: Graduate Solid State <strong>Physics</strong><br />
PAP731:Optical Spectroscopic Techniques<br />
Please note that PAP711 is mutually exclusive with PAP442; PAP710 is mutually exclusive with<br />
PAP451. This application is subject to approval.<br />

semester, please write in to SPMSundgrad@ntu.edu.sg with your course mapping approval, screenshot<br />
<strong>of</strong> registered courses in the overseas university <strong>and</strong> results slip/transcript (if available).<br />
13. Students who have completed all the UE requirement <strong>and</strong> wish to read more electives may obtain an<br />
appeal form (pink form) from SPMS General Office. You should submit the overload application after<br />
the result <strong>of</strong> GER-PE <strong>and</strong> UE allocation is known, unless your UE in balance is currently 0. Please note<br />
that approval is granted to a specific course that you wish to overload.<br />
14. Students who are currently completing or have completed the minor in Entrepreneurship are not<br />
allowed to take up MPS812. They are to replace MPS812 with another course from the Human<br />
Resource Management topic. Such students will have to inform the <strong>School</strong> once they have registered<br />
the replacement course.<br />
15. Students who are taking up the minor in Entrepreneurship courses are advised to plan their load<br />
carefully as the minor courses will be registered at a later stage <strong>and</strong> may cause undue overloading.<br />
There is no guarantee that the overload will be approved <strong>and</strong> the student could continue with the<br />
minor when such case arises.<br />
16. Enquiries on curriculum may be directed to :<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong> Phan Anh Tuan (PhanTuan@ntu.edu.sg)<br />
Ms Tan Soo Pei, Juliet (JulietTanSP@ntu.edu.sg)<br />
17. Enquiries on courses registration may be directed to SPMSundgrad@ntu.edu.sg. Your matriculation<br />
number must always be included in your e-mail. Please refrain from sending multiple similar e-mails as<br />
this will not expedite the response but rather it will cause undue delay. All enquiries will be attended to<br />
<strong>and</strong> will be replied as soon as possible, depending on the nature <strong>of</strong> the request. Appeals for GER-PE <strong>and</strong><br />
UE vacancies are to be submitted through the online appeal system <strong>and</strong> will not be responded to if<br />
submitted otherwise.<br />
18. Enquiries on network performance, Studentlink password or STARS PIN may be directed to CITS<br />
Helpdesk (helpdesk@ntu.edu.sg, 6790 5228). Enquiries on EdveNTUre/Blackboard may be directed to<br />
Blackboard Helpdesk (bb-help@ntu.edu.sg).<br />
