Revised safe management measures (SMMs) on NUS campuses
NUS will be adjusting our Safe Management Measures (SMM) accordingly on our campuses to keep transmissions in check. With effect from Mon, 14 June 2021:
a. The social gathering group size will be increased from 2 persons to 5 persons. The number of social gatherings is limited to no more than two a day.
b. Face-to-face classes will remain capped at a maximum of 50 persons (including teaching staff) per venue, with the prevailing SMMs implemented.
c. Working from home will remain as the default work arrangement until further notice. There is no change in work arrangements for academic staff and lab-based research staff.
Please view NUS Office of Safety, Health & Environment’s (OSHE) Circular 19 for more details.
COVID-19 vaccination for staff and students
As announced in the NUS Office of Safety, Health & Environment’s (OSHE) Circular 17 and Circular 18 respectively, the Ministry of Education has extended COVID-19 vaccination to NUS staff and students. Vaccination is a key enabler to protect ourselves and our loved ones against COVID-19, minimise transmission in the community and enable Singapore to re-open further, allow more social activities to resume, and facilitate the recovery of our economy.
We strongly encourage everyone to sign up for vaccination as soon as possible, if you are medically eligible:
a. Eligible students would have received an SMS invitation to book your vaccination. For students under the age of 18, SMSes have been sent to your parents or legal guardians instead as parental/guardian consent is required. 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.
b. NUS staff under the age of 40 would have received an SMS invitation to book your vaccination. If you have not received your SMS invitation, please let us 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.
c. 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.
Please continue to observe all safe management measures on our campus, which include safe distancing, wearing of masks at all times, declaration of temperature through uNivUS, and the use of both TraceTogether and NUSafe app. If you are unwell, please be socially responsible and see a doctor immediately.
Update: 15 May 2021
Tightened Safe Management Measures at NUS
On 14 May 2021, the Multi-Ministry Taskforce announced new tightened measures to arrest the increasing number of cases in the community. In response to these latest COVID-19 safe management measures, NUS will be implementing the following measures to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the community. These measures will take effect from Sunday, 16 May 2021 through Sunday, 13 June 2021. Please click here to read about the new measures.
Update: 17 November 2020
SoC Plans For AY2020/2021, Semester 2
Zoning within campus will end on December 6. Furthermore, Singapore is likely to move into phase 3 sometime soon.
There will still be limits on how many students can be in one room, and the usage of masks and safe distancing is still required.
With this, we hope to have as many face-to-face classes as possible, if space permits. This would be mostly for smaller classes.
We will have online options for large classes, but smaller classes may no longer have online options. This would also apply to small group tutorials and labs. More details on this would be given as the start of the semester nears.
Thus, we hope that all international students will make plans to come back to campus for Semester 2 in AY 2020/21. Otherwise, they may not be able to take all their planned classes as some of these classes may not have online options at all.
Please look out for more email updates and stay tuned to this web page for any further information.

Update: 17 July 2020
Some students have been asking and are worried about whether e-learning options will be available throughout the semester.
Considering that the COVID-19 situation has not been improving in many parts of the world, we have decided to make e-learning options available throughout the semester for all NUS Computing modules. This includes lectures, tutorials, labs and exams.
However, if you are able to come to campus, we strongly encourage you to come to campus as face to face learning and interaction are a critical component of university learning.
