Your Academic Plan(s), which can be a Major, Minor or Track within the Major, has impact on the curricular priority given to students for their module choices during the ModReg exercise. It is important for students to verify that their Academic Plan(s) is/are accurately reflected in their record at the Education Records System (myEduRec) every semester.
To ensure that students are assigned the appropriate curricular priority for their module choices in ModReg, the following groups of students are required to go through the Academic Plan Verification /Declaration 24 hours before participating in the ModReg exercise:
Verification of Academic Plans (Major/Minor/Track) – Ensure your academic plan are correct in EduRec.
All Double Degree Programme with Law students in their Year 1 to Year 5 of study are required to verify their Academic Plan(s)
All Single Degree/Concurrent Degree students who have participated in a Major and Minor Declaration Exercise in a previous semester are required to verify their Academic Plan(s)
Declaration of Academic Plans (Track) – Applicable to PPE and MCS students
Track Declaration is compulsory for students who have declared Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) or Mathematical, Computational and Statistical Sciences (MCS) as their major in the Major Declaration Exercise held earlier in March 2021.
Declaration of Academic Plans (Minor) – Applicable if you want to declare a Minor
Rising Year 3 students (Single Degree, Double Degree, Concurrent Degree Programme) in their 5th semester of study with a declared major may now declare a minor.
The user guide for the Academic Plan Application/Declaration function in EduRec can be found here.
Students can contact the Yale-NUS Registry through the following means:

ModReg@EduRec is the College’s module registration platform where students select and drop classes, tutorials and labs classes. It employs a rules-driven, priority-based engine to allocate modules based on each student’s curricular needs, seniority in the programme and module preferences. Students can refer to the ModReg User Guide for Students to navigate within the system. You may also view this video which addresses most frequently asked questions on some ModReg functions.
What is the purpose of the Priority Score?
A Priority Score is computed for each module based on student’s curricular needs, seniority and module preferences.
Where demand for a selected module exceeds the available places, the Priority Scores of students seeking to read a particular module will be used to determine module allocation. Students with higher Priority Scores shall fill the class spaces first and those with lower scores will only be considered if there are still vacancies.
How is the Priority Score of a module computed?
The Priority Score for a module selected by a student is computed based on the Priority Scoring Rubrics below by means of the formula: An x Bn x Cn.
An – Programme Requirements Category (In descending order of points allocated)
Bn – Students’ Seniority (In descending order of points allocated)
Cn – Rank Preference of Modules (In descending order of points allocated)
What happens when students have the same Priority Score for a module?
When students have the same Priority Scores vying for a spot, tie-breakers are used to determine the final module allocation. The tie-breakers in descending order of consideration are:
What are “Reserve classes”?
Reserve classes are for students to indicate their next preferred module class in the event that they are unsuccessful for a particular main list module. Students are strongly encouraged to make use of this function to indicate up to two reserved modules for each module in the main list.
How does the “Reserve classes” function work?
Modules in the Main List will be processed first. In the event module allocation for the module on the student’s Main List is unsuccessful, the system will process entries in the Reserve List. The reserve class will be given the same rank score as that particular Main List module. E.g., if the reserve module class is for Rank 1 Main List module, then it will be given Rank 1 score points.
However, please note that ModReg@EduRec only checks for timetable/exam clashes, fulfilment of pre-requisites and availability of module vacancies when students select their Main List modules. Students can select reserve modules unreservedly but may not necessarily be allocated the reserve module(s) if there is a timetable conflict with their allocated modules or if the student has not met the prerequisites to read the module.
The following diagram (Click on picture to enlarge it) depicts the workflow of a successful module allocation process, i.e., from its selection to reflecting on the student’s enrolment records on EduRec and the College’s learning managing system, Canvas.
A) Module class process from ModReg to ModReg Staging
Upon completion of the Module Allocation run from “Select Modules”, “Submit Module Requests” and “Select Tutorials/Labs” rounds, the successfully allocated/dropped module classes (module enrolment data) will be stored at ModReg Staging to be uploaded to EduRec. Students can verify module enrolment data at ModReg’s “View My Classes” page when allocation outcomes become available. (Navigation: myEduRec > Academics > Module Registration > View My Classes)
B) Data upload from ModReg Staging to EduRec (During ModReg Exercise)
During the ModReg exercise (i.e., from Select Modules (Round 0) to Select Tutorials/Labs Rounds), all module enrolment data are uploaded to EduRec after completion of module allocation process runs. Subsequently, they will reflect at EduRec’s “View Modules” (Navigation: myEduRec > Academics > Academic Records)
C) Data upload from ModReg Staging to EduRec (After ModReg Exercise to end of “W” grade period)
After ModReg exercise till end of ‘W’ grade period, module classes added/dropped by admins/students are uploaded to EduRec via scheduled process runs at 8.30am, 11.30am, 2.30pm and 5.30pmon a daily basis.
D) Data sync from EduRec to Canvas
Module enrolment data from EduRec are synced to Canvas by scheduled process runs at 10.30pm on a daily basis.
Alternatively, students may initiate manual sync of module enrolment data from EduRec by emailing Yale-NUS Registry at registry@yale-nus.edu.sg.
The above information is adapted from the NUS ModReg website.
Students are encouraged to map out their study plan well before the start of the Module Registration Exercise.
Students may refer to the following in chronological order as a guide to registering for modules:
Students may check on their degree requirements and progress using the following reports in EduRec.
1) Unofficial transcript via “View my Transcript“
2) Graduation Progress Reports: My Graduation Audit Report’ ,‘My What-if Report’
If you need advice on choosing modules, contact your Residential College Assistant Dean of Students, pre-major or major academic advisor (as appropriate), or the Head of Studies for the major/minor.
1) Module Offerings – Yale-NUS Course Catalogue and Module Brief New
Round 0: Please refer to this link.
Round 1 onwards: Please refer to this link, for the Yale-NUS Course Catalogue and Module Brief.
We have launched a new a one-stop platform for students to access the Yale-NUS Course Catalogue, Yale-NUS Module Brief and Timetable Simulator.
On this platform, you will see three tabs:
Note on major/minor: If you plan to change your declared Major/Minor, please submit your request via myYaleNUS. The outcome of the change as approved by the respective Head of Studies must be received by Yale-NUS Registry at least 5 working days before the start of each round in order for the rule-based priority to take place in ModReg.
2) Module Pre-requisites
Students are advised to check the module pre-requisite, co-requisite or preclusion requirements prior to registering for the module. Please contact Registry for assistance or to submit an appeal if:
a) You meet the pre-requisite in the form of an O/A-level or equivalent or in the form of module(s) taken during study abroad but encountered difficulty selecting the module on the module registration platform.
b) You did not meet the pre-requisite(s) of a module but have consulted the instructor for permission to register. You should forward the instructor’s email approval to Yale-NUS Registry for waiver of the pre-requisite in ModReg@EduRec to allow you to select the module.
1) Workload
The recommended workload is 20 MC per semester. However, students may register between 18 MC to 23 MC per semester. This workload includes all Yale-NUS modules and NUS modules.
a) Overload
Students planning to overload (more than 23 MC) are required to seek formal approval from your Assistant Dean of Students (AD) using the Overload form. Please note, while students are strongly encouraged to plan and apply for overload early, for equity reasons, you will only be able to select the additional Yale-NUS or NUS elective module during Select Modules Round 3.
Note for NUS CLS modules: If you register for more than 18 MC of Yale-NUS modules in Select Modules Round 0, you will not be pre-allocated the CLS module. Instead, you may drop an allocated module and register for the CLS module via ModReg@EduRec during Select Modules Round 2 or Select Modules Round 3.
Overload for LAW Double Degree Programme (DDP) students: An overload for a Law DDP student would be defined as any module taken in excess of what is stated in your respective schedule of modules found here. The Faculty of Law has advised that Law DDP students are discouraged from overloading and should not read more than a total of 23 MC in the semester they are reading Law compulsory modules, due to the rigor of the Law curriculum.
For more information, please refer here.
b) Underload
Students planning to underload (less than 18 MC) are required to submit an appeal to your AD with supporting reasons using the Underload form. For underloading with less than 14 MC, students need to further submit a petition to the Committee on Academic Standards (CAS). The petition should be submitted well in advance of the “Add” module deadline so that you will still be in time to add a module in the event the appeal is unsuccessful.
Students who are in their graduating semester are permitted to register a minimum of 14 MC without seeking the permission of their AD as long as they are on-track to meeting graduation requirements.
You are advised to plan carefully as underloading may affect your graduation progress and ability to complete your degree within the stipulated period of candidature.
2) Class and exam timetable clashes
You should register for modules that DO NOT clash in both the class and examination timetables.
3) Early Registration
Module registration is conducted on a round-by-round basis. Students should participate actively from Select Modules Round 0 in order to secure the modules that they are most interested in.
4) “Reserve Classes”
Students are strongly encouraged to plan for reserves to supplement their module choices in their main list. These modules can be selected using the “Reserve Classes” function in ModReg@EduRec. For every module selected in the main list, students can select up to two reserve modules.
The above helps to allocate you to another module as early as possible, in the event you are not being allocated to the module of your first choice.
In these two rounds, students can select the following types of modules:
Common Curriculum
Rising Year 2 students are to select one of the group options when registering for their Common Curriculum modules, i.e., YCC2121 Modern Social Thought and YCC2137 Scientific Inquiry 2, in Select Modules Round 0.
Students may check their assigned group, i.e., Group 1 to 14, when Select Modules Round 1 opens at 0900 hrs on 22 Jul 2021. As Common Curriculum modules are compulsory, you will not be able to drop them via ModReg@EduRec.
If you wish to swap Common Curriculum groups in Select Modules Round 1, 2 and/or 3 due to a timetable clash with your preferred elective module, please find another student who is willing to do a mutual swap and email Yale-NUS Registry at registry@yale-nus.edu.sg to facilitate the change.

Common Curriculum – Historical Immersion
Modules designated as fulfilling the Historical Immersion (HI) requirement will be opened only to rising Year 4 and Year 3 students during Select Modules Round 0 and Select Modules Round 1 of the module registration exercise to award priority to senior students.
Please find the complete list of HI modules in Canvas (Select Modules Round 0) and Yale-NUS Course Catalogue and Module Brief (From Select Modules Round 1).
Round 0: Yale-NUS students will be able to select L2 (and T2 during tutorial balloting) via ModReg@EduRec.
Rounds 1-3: Yale-NUS students who miss the registration during Round 0 can submit an appeal in ModReg (appeal type: Issues while selecting module) and shall be assessed and allocated on a first come-first served basis (Priority to Arts and Humanities and Psychology majors)
For modules with multiple tutorial class options, you will only be pre-allocated to the main lecture class. You will need to select your tutorial class via ModReg@EduRec during the NUS Tutorials/Labs registration rounds.
You will be able to view your Capstone Project module in your records when you login to ModReg@EduRec at the start of Select Modules Round 0. Please inform Registry at registry@yale-nus.edu.sg if otherwise.
Students interested in reading an independent study module, i.e., IRR, SPS or ILSR, will need to register separately from ModReg@EduRec. The registration forms for the respective independent study modules are IRR, SPS, ILSR.
The deadline to submit your registration is the end of Instructional Week 1, 1800 hrs on Friday, 13 August 2021. Yale-NUS Registry will notify the outcome of your application and allocate the independent study module to you by Friday, 20 August 2021, if your application is approved.
Students who have plans to read an overload module(s) are strongly encouraged to submit their overload applications to their respective AD early to aid enrolment projections analysis as the College may cancel modules with low enrolment after Select Modules Round 0/1.
Do note however, that while approvals may be granted early, you can only register for your overload module(s) in Select Modules Round 3, in August 2021.
Should you wish to drop an allocated module, you may only do so from Select Modules Round 1 and/or subsequently in Select Modules Round 2 or Select Modules Round 3.

If it is a NUS module, please email the NUS host faculty directly for assistance – Undergraduate (UG) and Graduate (GD).
Selection
If you are reading NUS modules, where relevant, you may be required to register for tutorials/labs after you have been allocated the lecture component of the module.
Please refer here for the dates of the different rounds for Tutorial/Labs registration.
Dropping
You may drop your allocated NUS modules via ModReg@EduRec (note that minimum workload must be maintained). When a module is dropped, all associated classes (e.g., lectures, seminar, tutorial, labs) will be dropped in tandem.
Students may drop a tutorial/lab class that they have been allocated to if they wish to change to another class. Dropping a tutorial/lab class will not de-enrol a student from the module.
