COVID-19 Updates

Declare your temperature twice each day (AM & PM) on the uNivUS app, under 'Health Declaration’, or the NUS Health Declaration website: https://myaces.nus.edu.sg/htd

If you have to come to campus, declare your temperature on the app or website before you arrive. Check in on the TraceTogether app and turn on your smartphone's bluetooth function when on campus.

Wear a mask if you’re heading out. If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, do not go to class or any other common areas such as canteens or study areas where you may inadvertently infect others. Please go directly to the University Health Centre (UHC), or any other clinic to seek immediate medical advice/attention.

If you’re medically eligible, sign up for the COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible. 

• Eligible students would have received an SMS invitation to book your vaccination. For students under the age of 18, the SMSes have been sent to your parents or legal guardians instead as parental/guardian consent is required for your vaccination. If you have not received your SMS invitation, please log in with your NUSNET ID to https://forms.office.com/r/wm2TewKDR3 to update your Singapore-registered mobile number in our student records. Please view NUS Office of Safety, Health & Environment’s (OSHE) Circular 18 for more info.
• NUS staff under the age of 40 would have earlier received an SMS invitation to book your vaccination. If you have not received your SMS invitation, please let NUS know, at ohrbox5@nus.edu.sg
  To avoid duplicate entries within the system, staff should not self-register again via www.vaccine.gov.sg if you have already booked your vaccination appointment under the MOE prioritisation exercise. Please view NUS Office of Safety, Health & Environment’s (OSHE) Circular 17 for more info.
• As announced on 10 June 2021, Singaporeans aged 12 to 39 years can register interest for vaccination via www.vaccine.gov.sg from 11 June 2021. We encourage Class of 2021 graduates to sign up for vaccination if they are medically eligible.

Getting from Kent Ridge MRT to NUS Computing

In line with the lifting on zoning restrictions from 6 December 2020, the Internal Shuttle Bus (ISB) services will revert to the original pre-COVID routes, which were in effect before the zoning routes were implemented on 20 July 2020. 

To get from Kent Ridge MRT to SoC, take ISB service ‘A1’ from Kent Ridge MRT, and alight at COM2. Click here to view the routes. 

Please note that new shuttle bus routes will apply from Mon, 19 July 2021. From 19 July onwards, staff and students heading to COM2 from Kent Ridge MRT may take ISB service ‘A2’ from opposite Kent Ridge MRT and alight at COM2.

Only some classes will be run face-to-face (F2F). Do note that if the situation improves over time, more classes will be run F2F. Students should come to campus only on days when they have F2F classes.

E-learning options for students who are unable to come to campus

Students who are not able to attend F2F classes due to having to serve Stay Home Notices (SHN), or international students who are not able to come due to reasons beyond their control (such as travel restrictions imposed by governments), will have e-learning options for the modules having F2F classes.

This may be in the form of lecture recordings (asynchronous) or Zoom lectures (synchronous) along with reading materials etc.

Lecturers will try to provide extra consultation sessions (over Zoom or similar platforms) for students.

For those serving SHN, please visit https://www.homer.gov.sg/instructions for instructions to download the Homer - QO SHN on Apple App Store, or Homer on Google Play Store.

Exams

Many of our modules will have 100% CA (continual assessment).

For modules that have final examinations, the exams may be F2F, e-exam or hybrid, depending on the situation and policies of the government and NUS at the time of the exams.
