Course enrolment is done via a bidding process. Course enrolments are not guaranteed and are subjected to SMU’s academic policies and the following conditions:

1. Availability of vacancies
2. Fulfilment of course pre-requisites, if applicable
3. Course demand and bidding outcome

Students are encouraged to be proactive and flexible in their study plans. To optimise the bidding opportunities, students should:

1. Obtain pre-approval for more courses than needed from the home university.
2. Ensure that they have fulfilled the pre-requisites for the necessary courses, if applicable, before bidding.

Students may enrol for SMU courses and courses at the host university concurrently and attend lessons at both SMU and the host university while on SUSEP. However, it is the students' responsibility to ensure there is no clash in the class and exam schedules.

E-dollars given for the exchange term will be adjusted according to the number of course units taken at SMU. For example, if 4 course units are registered at SMU and 1 course unit is registered at the host university, 20 e-dollars will be deducted from the original 100 e-dollars allocated for that term.

Students must have all their courses approved by SMU before registering for them with the host university. It is the students' responsibility to ensure the courses they take at the host university can be mapped to the SMU curriculum. Students should also familiarise themselves with the Credit Transfer Policy.

Students should ascertain they have met the equivalent pre-requisites, if any, of the host university's courses. They should ensure they are able to take their approved choice of courses to achieve the intended study load for the term and not have to extend their studies beyond the normal candidature period.

Approved courses taken at the host university will be accepted as course credits but the grades will not be computed into the cumulative GPA.
