Are the five UTCP modules ‘over and on top of’ graduation requirements? Do UTCP students do extra modules compared to those who do not live in a residential college?
No. UTCP students take the same number of modules to graduate as non-UTCP students. Most faculty degree programmes, such as Arts & Social Sciences, Engineering, Business and Science, require students to complete five General Education (GE) modules to graduate. The five UTCP modules replace this GE requirement, except that students matriculating from AY2016/2017 onward must still take the Quantitative Reasoning GE module. The fifth UTCP module is taken as an Unrestricted Elective instead. Students from faculties without a GE requirement, such as Medicine, Dentistry and Law, are not enrolled in UTCP and take fewer College modules to meet their residency requirement, by arrangement with the Home Faculty.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dotted” accent_color=”#d3d3d3″ css=”.vc_custom_1489249982941{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1489249813639{padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”faq-title” css=”.vc_custom_1489252820236{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
I am a student enrolled in the University Town College Programme (UTCP) in AY2015/2016. Do the General Education (GE) requirements apply to me?
The General Education requirements (20 MCs) are waived for students who complete the five required modules in the UTCP (20 MCs) while residing in the College. Students who do not complete the UTCP are expected to map the UTCP module(s) they have read back to the regular degree structure of their home Faculty. Generally, the module(s) may be used to seek exemptions from specific General Education pillars or count as an Unrestricted Elective(s).[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dotted” accent_color=”#d3d3d3″ css=”.vc_custom_1489249982941{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1489249813639{padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”faq-title” css=”.vc_custom_1489252982752{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

My programme/course does not permit me to read ULRs or to overload. Do I still need to read UTown modules?
Incoming senior students (those who have already been at NUS for at least one year) are expected to read one module (preferably a Senior seminar) per year to establish or maintain residency. This requirement may be adjusted for students whose programmes do not allow the reading of ULRs. Year 1 students with reduced ULRs or limited module space to read the full 5 UTown modules are expected to read the relevant UTown modules that can fulfil their graduation requirements and residency requirement during their stay in CAPT.

Are the UTown modules to be read on a letter-grading basis?
For students admitted into NUS prior to AY2014/2015: The Junior and Senior Seminars are graded on a CS/CU basis. The Ideas & Exposition modules are letter-graded, with the option to opt for S/U. The Capstone Module UTS2500 is graded on a CS/CU basis.
Note: Senior students admitted into NUS prior to AY2014/2015 who read Senior Seminars and/or Capstone module in AY2015/2016 can exercise the S/U option. Such students include new seniors who are admitted into CAPT in AY2015/2016, or seniors returning from SEP or offered Senior Retention for AY2015/2016.
For students admitted into NUS from AY2014/2015: The Junior Seminars are graded on a CS/CU basis. The Senior Seminars and Ideas & Exposition modules are letter-graded, with the option to S/U.

No, you have to read and pass a Junior Seminar before reading a Senior Seminar as Senior Seminars are level 2000 modules.

Can I read one I&E module and a Senior Seminar, or 2 Senior Seminars concurrently in a semester?
Yes, you can read one I&E module together with a Senior Seminar concurrently in the same semester. You can also read 2 Senior Seminars concurrently in a semester. However, note that successful pre-allocation of modules is subject to overall module demand and availability of module quota.

What is the best way to ensure that I complete UTCP in my four semesters in College?
You should plan to take two UTCP modules in either your second (Year 1 Sem 2) or third (Year 2 Sem 1) semester if possible, subject to availability of spaces. Students who leave taking two modules to their fourth (Year 2 Sem 2) semester often find themselves unable to complete UTCP and will be at a disadvantage if applying for Senior Retention.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dotted” accent_color=”#d3d3d3″ css=”.vc_custom_1489249982941{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/TS_VCSC_Fancy_Tabs_Single][TS_VCSC_Fancy_Tabs_Single customize=”true” color_tab=”#fdc300″ hover_tab=”#fdc300″ hover_text=”#7c133a” title=”Financial Aid” tab_id=”1487923239056-3-199a2-c488″ padding=”padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1489249813639{padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”faq-title” css=”.vc_custom_1489255045792{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
