Majoring in Management.

I want to be in an environment (SMU: seminar-style learning)
where students are to speak up,
discuss, and voice one's opinions.
To be trained to be outspoken and confident.

We will also help to answer any queries that you may have pertaining to your degree programme. You may choose to attend two briefings if you have opted for a double-degree programme.

    We will also give you an idea of what BOSS is.
    BOSS is short for “Bidding Online SyStem”. This is a unique system that allows you to bid for your courses using “e-dollars”. As part of our scheme to mould you into smart business leaders of the future, we have created an on-line system for course registration that uses the bidding process.

    In SMU, all course registration is done via BOSS.

    > Mandatory Courses – these compulsory courses must be completed by students in the programme.
    > Planned courses – these include the elective courses that a student intends to take in order to complete his/her degree requirements.
    The worksheet also provides a GPA calculator, where students can predict future grades for courses yet to be completed, and compute the resultant GPA.

    SMU Convocation 2007
    18 Aug 2007
    Suntec City Convention Hall 602
    Unlike conventional interpretation of "Convocation" to denote "graduation" at other local universities, SMU's Convocation is basically a large assembly celebration to mark the start of a journey, your journey through SMU, at that.

    On hand to welcome you into the SMU family will be the Chancellor, the President of SMU, the Board of Trustees, the Deans, faculty, staff and seniors.

    Our previous Convocation ceremonies have always been memorable for all and promise to be dignified yet energetic.

    At SMU, parents and guardians of students are regarded as an integral part of the university so we'd like you to invite them to celebrate the beginning of your journey with us.

    To all you freshmen, be prepared for the pomp and gaiety that SMU's largest and most talked about event will bring as you begin a new chapter in your life!


    VIVACE 2007 – CCA Fair
    Friday, 24 August, 2007

    The first university-wide event to greet all students at the start of the academic term! VIVACE is organised by the SMU Students' Association (SMUSA) for all freshmen to participate and be engaged in a fun-filled day of activities that will allow them to witness the vibrant student life in SMU as well as to interact with their seniors.

    So, come and experience it for yourself through all the carnivals, performances, games and competitions. All CCAs representing the arts, sports and community leadership will be on display to cater to your interests and talents.

    All the Costs before even entering SMU

    I went for Pre-enrolment Medical Examination at Raffles Medical Group.
    The cost will be borne by the students.

    Local Students - S$18.00 (exclusive of 5% GST)
    After 1st July 2007, it's 7% GST.

    I went on 9th July 2007. It cost: S$19.25.
    They give u a small plastic bottle to fill-in yr urine. Then they take yr height, and weight. Followed by eye test, then colour vision test. Next, is Chest X-ray. Lastly, the doctor talk to u, take blood pressure, ask u breath-in, breath-out. Finally, he signs and stamp the document. Voila! The medical report is out.

    At SMU's website, it says, "3. You can collect your medical report and X-ray after 3 working days for local students."
    But I got it on the day itself, no waiting for 3 days. Very efficient.

    All local polytechnic students have to attend this English Language Workshop (ELW) Waiver Test. It is to determine if they need to attend the 35-hr ELW. S$26.25 (inclusive of GST)

    Took the test on 10 July, 4pm. Didn't do very well (esp. basic cloze test: fill-in-the-blanks passage), but tried my best by filling-in all possible answers.

    I got my ELW Waiver Test result on 16 July.
    This is to inform you that on the basis of your ELW Waiver Test results, you will need to attend the English Language Workshop (ELW).

    Guess my English needs some brushing up.
    And I have to pay the course fee of S$200 (inclusive of GST) for the workshop.

    Polytechnic Graduates: Exemption for Internship Programme (dated: 06/20/2007)

    As a polytechnic graduate at Temasek Polytechnic, I had participated in some form of business attachment programme at Standard Chartered Bank, during my course of study, Diploma in Business IT.

    SMU would be glad to consider granting partial or full exemption to the Internship Programme requirement (10 weeks). Just provide some documentation from the institution on the duration of your previous training attachment.

    The document could be either:
    a) Letter or Certificate from your polytechnic stating the period that you have completed your attachment programme; or
    b) Letter from your company on their letterhead stating your name, NRIC/ Passport No., job descriptions and period of employment.

    Submit such documents no later than 30th April 2008,
