completed, then the TFI LEaRN Programme application will automatically NOT be considered.

5. Applicaퟌ�on Outcome

Students will be informed of their application outcome for the TFI LEaRN Programme @ NUS by end

By midJune, the Registrar’s Office will notify the students on the outcome of their NGE application, more
specifically on their module selection outcome.

As an additional note, students who are not eventually selected for the TFI LEaRN Programme @ NUS
will not be eligible to proceed with their application to do an exchange programme at NUS in Semester 1
with a fee waiver. These students may, however, consider to apply for NonGraduating NonExchange

Alternatively, students may be nominated by their home universities under the AUNACTS exchange
agreement, which allows students to be nominated through the AUNACTS portal to come to NUS for
exchange (with tuition waiver) in Semester 2 (JanMay). However, places for the AUNACTS nominations
are very limited and therefore very competitive.
