1. Is it mandatory for me to participate in Freshman Orientation Programme (FOP)?
While it is not mandatory to participate in FOP, you are strongly encouraged to attend to get to know your peers and seniors who can give insights and advice to student life and resources in NUS.
2. What is the purpose of FOP?
The purpose of Orientation is to welcome you to NUS and induct you through purposeful programmes and enjoyable activities into the intellectual culture, social environment and values of the NUS community to support and equip you for academic and personal success.
3. When and where are the various FOPs held?
Orientation Camps are held from 1 June until Week 0 in early August, while other FOPs held by NUSSU are spread across August!See list of activities.
4. Where do I register for the various FOPs?
You can register via links at the respective websites or email the project directors. Their email addresses and sign-up links are in the Orientation Finder.
5. I cannot attend the full duration of the FOP due to prior commitment. Can I still sign up for the FOP?
Please check with the respective FOP organiser. Lucky for you - FOP is now a semester-long event and there's no need to attend an Orientation activity during the summer holidays. Stay tuned for more updates on this microsite!
6. If I am in distress or harassment at any point of the FOP activity, who should I go to?
Whistleblowing channels are available every camp, do approach your Orientation Group Leaders (OGLs) or the Organising Committee to get the respective links. Alternatively, you may approach either the Dean of Students, Office of Student Affairs, NUS Student Union (NUSSU), Camp Safety Officers or Staff Advisors. See contact list.
