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. As the University advances towards a broad-based education, students are required to enroll in modules across faculties. CORS is established to facilitate students' registration of modules, based on their preferences via an online bidding system. CORS allows the teaching departments to plan and manage their resources optimally. Since module selection and module allocation are mission critical exercises for students as well as the University, CORS ensures that allocation processes are fair and neutral. Conversely, students must be responsible for their actions. The bidding system requires students to consider carefully their priorities as each decision will have an impact on their future choices. It is also an opportunity to educate students on the need to weigh their options, make decisions and appreciate the consequences of their 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.

Missing module information in IVLE even after allocation.
How can I rectify this?

"I have received notices from CORS or administrators informing me that my module has been allocated, but when I log into IVLE, I cannot see the module. Am I allocated with the module or not? This is causing me a lot of frustration!"

Sound familiar? Fear not. Starting from today, we can put these frustrations at rest by providing you with a new function in IVLE to instantly refresh your modules.

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.

Change in Workload Policy for First Two Bidding Rounds

To ensure fairness in bidding across all Faculties, a workload policy is in place in the first two rounds of bidding so that all students, regardless of which Faculty they are from, are given an equal chance in securing their choice modules during these rounds.

Currently, the workload policy is set at a cap of a modular count of 5 modules. With effect from AY2008/09 Semester 2 onwards, the cap of a modular count of 5 modules will be removed. In place, the workload policy is changed to cap at 23 MCs instead.

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.
