PC1432 Tutorial Balloting

Dear PC1432 Students,

Due to a misconfiguration in the CORS system, PC1432 tutorial balloting is supposed to take place in Iteration 2 instead of Iteration 1. As such, those who have balloted for the tutorials and labs slots will be dropped and you will need to ballot for the tutorials again during Iteration 2 (18 Jan: 0900 hrs to 21 Jan: 1700hrs). Students who are supposed to be preallocated with the tutorials and labs will be able to see the allocation in CORS by 18 Jan 08. You do not need to ballot for them again. Those who applied via e-form or bidded successfully for the module, please ballot for the tutorials and labs during Iteration 2.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

SSA1202, SSA1203, SSA2207 and GEK1007

Dear Students

Please note that the following modules will only be opened for bidding from Round 2B onwards:-

1) SSA1202
2) SSA1203
3) SSA2207
4) GEK1007

New Workload Policy (with effect from today)

Please note that to ensure fairness in bidding across all faculties, a new policy is being imposed for maximum workload allowable during bidding for all students. The rationale for this change is to ensure that every students regardless of which faculties they are from are given exactly equal chance to secure up to 5 modules before round 3A.

The new policy is detailed as follow during bidding from Round 0 to Round 2C, the total maximum workload allowed is counted based on the following two conditions:
1) Total of 5 module count allowed (any module that has 2 or more MCs will be counted as 1 module; any module that has 0 or 1 MC will NOT be counted as a module).
2) Total number of maximum MCs workload as configured by your respective faculties.

From Round 3 onwards, only the second condition will be applicable i.e. a student can bid for a 6th module if the total MCs for all 6 modules do not exceed what is configured by your faculties. Students can seek approval from their respective faculty/school for exceeding the maximum workload allowed.

Here is an example to illustrate this:
Assuming the following: Selected and/or allocated 4 modules each with 5 MC, total MCs count = 20. Your faculty configured 20 MCs as the maximum workload.

Between round 0 and round 2C, you will NOT be able to select any more modules because you have failed condition 2. If you want to take more modules, you need to appeal via CORS to obtain an increase in MCs workload.

Assume that your faculty approves your request and grants you an extra 8 MCs, i.e. your maximum MCs = 28. Between round 0 and round 2C, you can ONLY select ONE more module that falls between 0 to 8 MCs because selecting >1 modules will cause you to fail condition 1.

But starting round 3A, you will be able to select >1 module as long as it falls below the extra 8 MCs count granted to you by your faculty.
