CORS in a Nutshell Centralised Online Registration System (CORS) is designed for students to register for their modules; with the exception of students from Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Faculty of Dentistry, who should refer to their department for module registration instructions. Unless you are in one of the faculties mentioned above, you will need to use CORS to register your General, Minor, Breath, GEM and SS modules during the module registration period. While the university advances towards a broad-based education, you will be required to enroll in modules across faculties - a system must be established to facilitate you, and at the same time, allow the teaching departments to manage their resources optimally. Since module selection and module allocation are mission critical exercises for you as well as the university, there must be fairness, equity and responsibility. Hence, the bidding system was developed to accomplish these objectives. The bidding system requires you to make careful considerations of your priorities, as each decision has an impact on your future choices - it is a good training ground to prepare you for life after graduation. It is an opportunity to educate you on the need to weigh your options, make decisions and live with the consequences of your actions. CORS is accessed via NUSNetid; you will need to have your NUSNetid and password in order to be able to log on. Once you have logged on, you will be able to view and select your module choices, and you will also have access to the appeal function where you can submit appeals for module related matters.

Making Better Bidding Decisions Based on Reports

To help you make better choices in your bidding, you can make use of the published bidding statistics on this site. In this section, we highlight two important reports - Lecture Groups Available for Open Bidding and Bidding Statistics at the End of Open Bidding.

Module Planning Using NUS Timetable Builder

There are so many choices of modules that I would like to take. I spent numerous hours of my time mapping out my entire module-taking strategy across multiple semesters. I logged into CORS and I suddenly realised that the modules that I want have timetable clashes. What should I do? Sound familiar? If you use the NUS timetable builder, this sort of unfortunate incident can be prevented.

 

Never miss a CORS announcement again!

As part of our constant effort to make it easier for you to get informed on all the CORS announcements published on our web site, we have recently introduced a WordPress-driven announcement system.

Using this system, you will be able to perform comprehensive searches on all past announcements that may be relevant to your registration needs. But more interestingly, the use of WordPress as an announcement system provides you with a mechanism to leverage on the RSS feeds technology that allows you to be kept informed round the clock on all CORS-related announcements.

All you need to do is to find your favorite feed reader (it can be your browser, Google Reader, or even an email program like Outlook) and add the RSS feed to it (by clicking on the RSS icon above) and you will never miss an announcement again.

If you are unfamiliar with what RSS is, here is a video to help you learn RSS in plain English. And here are some innovative ways for you to make full use of RSS. Try it out and with this you will never miss an important CORS announcement again.

To all Students

With immediate effect, you should use your NUSNETid (a.k.a your email) to login to CORS.

If you have lost your NUSNET password, you will need to bring your matriculation card to Computer Center level 1 to request for a password reset. You may also send a scanned copy of your Matric card and NRIC through either fax at 68725231 or email at ccehelp@nus.edu.sg.

To all Double Degree and Double Major Students

Your primary degree or primary major will be declared by your home faculty. As for your second degree or second major, the host faculty will declare it for you.

You will need to confirm both the primary and second degree or major via CORS.

Upon confirmation, you can proceed to bid for the modules in the protected rounds.

Only Double Degree and Double Major students from Faculty of Science are allowed to change their primary degree or major declaration.

Workload Policy of 5 Modular Count Before Round 3A

In AY2007/2008, a new workload policy with regards to bidding has been put in place. The objective of this new policy is to provide a fair playing field for every student in any faculty to obtain the first 5 modules of their choice before round 3A. This 5 modular count applies not just to allocated modules, it applies to selected modules as well.

If you are eligible to take more than 5 modules, you can only bid for your 6th module during round 3.
