Singapore is a place where you get the best of many worlds and the National University of Singapore offers a multitude of courses that will definitely broaden your worldview. Before embarking on this journey, there are many steps to accomplish, but the Manoa International Exchange (MIX) and Shidler's Office of Student and Academic Services (OSAS) are there to help.
Step 1: Which program is best for you? At the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, there are two types of programs for international study:
Step 2: Check out pre-approved courses. After figuring out which program you would like to do, it is best to take a look at the courses you still need and what courses you can take abroad. If you are a Shidler student, there is a designated link on Shidler's website that allows you to explore all the pre-approved courses that could potentially transfer back from the school you are studying at abroad. *NOTE: For NUS, it is not a guarantee that you will get your courses even if you follow Shidler's pre-approved course list. Make sure that you inquire with [email protected] (The Non-Graduating Programme Office) for help! Step 3: Submit the application by the deadline for your respectable program. As stated above in Step 1, MIX and SAC have different deadlines and require different supporting materials, if needed. For MIX specifically: Summer, Fall, & Academic Year Exchanges:
The next few steps are for MIX/NUS only (and the dates are for when I received the notification and/or submitted): Step 4: Receive Nomination Notification from MIX & Submit Nomination Form (June 19) This is where you will accept whether you will be going to your MIX Partner University. Failure to submit the nomination form may result in a cancellation of your nomination! Step 5: Receive Next Steps for you MIX Partner School (August 30) The e-mail comes with the link to the application for NUS as well as other resources such as important information for module restrictions, application procedures, required supporting documents, deadlines, visa applications, and more. There is also a pre-departure checklist attached - make sure to get it all done before you depart! MIX Pre-Departure Checklist:
Step 6: Submitted Freeman Scholarship Application (August 30)
Step 7: Received official e-mail notification of selection as Spring 2019 Freeman Scholar from OSAS (September 6)
Step 8: Submitted NUS Online Non-Graduating Exchange Programme Application (September 10) The application opens on September 1 for Semester 2 (Spring Exchange) and closes October 1 (Singapore time), so make sure to submit the deadline before then. Step 9: Accept Offer from NUS & take care of registration essentials (November 16) A recent-sized passport photo in a specific format (0.75 pixels aspect ratio) will be required before the deadline to accept the admission offer.
Step 10: Complete Registration Part One (December 6) Your Student ID, NUSNET ID, and NUSNET password will be distributed to you. These login credentials will be used to access things such as your NUS e-mail, IVLE for courses, and EduRec to pay for your Miscellaneous Student Fees (Student Services/Health Services Fee) at the time of Registration Part One.
