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 do 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 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.
If you have not already done so, you may refer to the following in chronological order as a guide:
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’
1) Module Offerings
Please refer to the Yale-NUS Module Brief, for the Semester 2 AY2020/2021 modules and timetable information.
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 are currently taking a pre-requisite to the module that you are interested in reading in the coming semester but encountered difficulty selecting the module during Round 1 of the module registration exercise.
Note: Upon release of your final examination results, if you have not passed the pre-requisite, the module will be dropped unless you have received approval from the module instructor to stay enrolled.
c) 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 Round 3.
Note for NUS CLS modules: If you register for more than 18 MC of Yale-NUS modules in Round 1, 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 Round 2 or 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 Round 1 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.
Please click here for calendar view of ModReg Round 1 schedule.
In this round, you can select the following type of modules:
Modules offered by other NUS faculties
Please view the module and timetable information from NUSMods and register via ModReg@EduRec from Round 2.
Although students are given the option to select their preferred timings for Common Curriculum seminars, they may be re-allocated to another group if their preferred timing is over-subscribed.
In addition to selecting their preferred seminar timing, students are encouraged to indicate their next preferred group on their “Reserve Classes”. This is so that in the event they are not allocated to their first-choice group, they may be considered for other choice group(s) in their reserved list.
Students who have plans to read an overload module(s) are strongly encouraged to submit their overload applications to their AD in Round 1 to aid enrolment projections analysis as the College might cancel modules with low enrolment after Round 1.
Do note however, that while approvals may be granted early, you can only register for your overload module(s) in Round 3, in January 2021.
Please click here for the calendar view of ModReg Round 2 and ModReg Round 3 schedules.
In these two rounds, you can:
Note: You may utilise the timetable builder in NUSMods to simulate your desired timetable or check if there are any clashes in the timetables of the modules you are interested before selecting the modules in ModReg@EduRec.
