關于20/21學年第一個學期
在新加坡新冠肺炎疫情保持穩定並遵守國家現行安全管理措施的前提下:
1. 第一學期將按預定時間開啓，第一個教學周將于2020年8月11日開始。
2. 首先，大型講座(Lecture)將在網上進行。而大部分的小課(Tutorial)和實驗(Lab)將會線下進行。
3. 所有的圖書館、實驗室、學習和研究設施都將對學生開放，但爲了學生和教職員工的安全，這些設施將縮小開放容量。面授課程和小組規模將保持以50人爲上限，所有的學生、教師和教師之間必須始終保持安全距離。
4. 隨著學期的推進，在線課程將轉變爲現場授課。
5. 所有學生上課時都必須戴口罩。全體教員和講師可佩戴口罩或面罩。
6. 學生在上課或自習後應使用提供的消毒濕巾擦拭桌面，以確保桌面清潔，以備下次使用。
7. 爲了更好地保持身體上的距離，學生們只能去有自己課程的學習區域。在進入NTU教學樓和其他設施前，須辦理安全准入（SafeEntry）登記。
8. 請與所屬學院及課程協調人員保持聯絡，並定期浏覽NTU學習網站，以了解有關課程的最新進展。爲了優化空間的使用，可能不得不改變課程的開始和結束時間。如發生上述情況，學院會通知你。
9. 新學年亦會開始舉辦CCA活動，並逐步准許線下群聚活動，這取決于活動的類型和參與者的數量。
目前不在新加坡的國際本科生
1. 根據政府現行的邊境管制規定，你必須持有有效的學生准證 (Student Pass) 或 學生通行證的基本批准IPA(由移民局簽發)和入境批准Entry Approval(由教育部簽發)才能進入新加坡。
持有學生證的人如果沒有入境許可，將不被允許辦理入境手續，並且必須在48小時內自費飛離新加坡。如不遵守，ICA將取消他們的准證或取消他們的基本批准。請記得在開始前往新加坡的前提交您的聯系信息和旅行聲明。
2. 所有從海外抵達新加坡的人士，必須在政府指定的設施內執行爲期14天的居留通知（SHN），包括南大校園內獲批准的設施。當收到入境許可時，將被告知你的設施已被分配。根據來自的國家，有多種SHN隔離選擇。
3. 招生辦公室和你們各自的學院辦公室會聯系你，爲你進入新加坡提供便利。
4. 強烈建議目前在新加坡的國際學生留在新加坡，以免耽誤或中斷學業。如果你不能在AY20/21開始前返回新加坡，必須准備好休假(LOA)，或者直到教育部批准你返回。不顧現行旅行通知的返回者還將被要求在專門設施（如旅館），全額支付其14天的費用。
宿舍申請
住宿生活是NTU校園獨特的一部分。我們正努力爲學生保留參與豐富校園生活的機會。目前宿舍申請截止日期已延至2020年6月29日(星期一)下午5時。
申請成功者將被告知申請結果，有望在2020年8月1日至9月15日期間陸續搬進他們指定的宿舍。
保障學生、教職員工的健康和安全是我們的首要任務。我們會繼續保持警覺，並提供更多有關校園安全措施的詳情。

Dear Undergraduate Students,
I trust you have been keeping well.
NTU will begin the new Academic Year, starting with its Freshmen Orientation programme, in a few weeks’ time. I understand that some of you are anxious about how the coming Academic Year will be conducted.
I want to assure you that the University places the utmost importance on the safety and well-being of our students and the rest of the community. We also remain committed to providing you with a distinctive learning experience with access to world-class facilities, libraries, laboratories and learning resources.
I would like to provide you with further information on what you can expect in the coming Semester 1 of Academic Year 20/21.
For Academic Year 2020/2021 Semester 1:
Provided that Singapore’s COVID-19 situation remains stable, and subject to the prevailing national safe management measures:
Semester 1 will begin on time, and Teaching Week 1 will commence on 11 August 2020.
For a start, large group lectures will be delivered online. The majority of tutorials and lab sessions will be conducted in-person.
Whilst all libraries, laboratories, learning and research facilities will be available to students, they will operate at reduced capacity, both for your own safety, and for the safety of the staff. In-person classes and group sizes will remain capped at 50 people for a start, and all students, and faculty/instructors must maintain a safe distance from one another at all times.
Remaining online classes will transition to be conducted in-person as the semester progresses.
All students must wear their face masks at all times during lessons. Faculty and instructors may wear a face mask or face shield.
Students should wipe down the table tops after lessons or self-study with the disinfectant wipes provided, to ensure surfaces are clean and ready for the next user.
· For better physical distancing, students should only go to academic areas for scheduled lessons. SafeEntry check-in is required before entry into NTU buildings or facilities.
· Please keep in touch with your respective Schools and course coordinators, and check the NTU Learn portal regularly to keep abreast of updates and new developments about your courses. It is possible that in order to optimise the use of space, start and finish times of classes may have to be altered. Your School will inform you if that occurs.
CCA activities will also commence in the new Academic Year with face-to-face activities being permitted progressively, depending on the type of activity and the number of participants involved.
Hall applications
Residential education and hall life are a distinctive part of the NTU experience. We are working hard to preserve the availability of an enriching campus experience for our students. Hall applications are now open, and the application deadline has been extended to Monday, 29 June 2020, 5.00pm.
Successful applicants will be informed about the outcome of their applications, and they can expect to move into their assigned hall rooms progressively between 1 August and 15 September 2020.
International students currently overseas
For international undergraduate students who are currently not in Singapore:
You must have a valid Student Pass or an in-principle approval for a Student Pass (issued by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority), and entry approval (issued by the Ministry of Education) to enter Singapore, under the Government’s existing border control regulations. Student Pass holders who arrive in Singapore without entry approval will not be allowed to clear immigration, and must fly out of Singapore at their own cost within 48 hours. If they fail to comply, ICA will cancel their pass or rescind their in-principle approval. Do remember to submit your contact information and travel declaration before you begin your journey to Singapore.
All persons arriving from overseas must serve 14 days’ Stay-Home Notice (SHN) at government-appointed facilities, which include approved facilities on NTU campus. You will be advised of your allocated facilities when you receive your entry approval. Depending on the country from which you arrive, you may have a choice of SHN accommodation.
The Office of Admissions and your respective School offices will reach out to you to facilitate your entry into Singapore.
International students currently in Singapore are strongly advised to remain in the country, so as not to cause any delay or disruption to your studies. If you are unable to return to Singapore before the start of AY20/21, you must be prepared to be served Leave of Absence (LOA), or until MOE gives approval for you to return. Returnees who disregard prevailing travel advisories will also be required to bear the full cost of their 14-day SHN at dedicated facilities, such as hotels.
The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff are our highest priority. We continue to stay vigilant and we will provide more details on any additional campus-wide safety measures as needed.
Let us continue to stay safe, and closely support and encourage one another amid this pandemic.
Sincerely,
Ling San
Deputy President and Provost
