The computation of CGPA is as follows:Grade Point x AU for course 1] + [Grade Point x AU for course X] + …….

[Total AU attempted in all the semesters so far]

The CGPA will be reflected on student teachers’ transcripts.


A ‘F’ grade obtained in a course, and a new grade attained for the subsequent repeat, will both be reflected on the transcript. Both grades will also be counted in the computation of CGPA. No AU is earned for courses with ‘F’ grade. Student teachers are not allowed to repeat any

courses taken except those with ‘F’ grades.


The requirements for graduation are as follows:1. Successful completion of the prescribed academic unit

requirement as set out by the programme curriculum.2. A minimum CGPA of 2.00 is required at the end of the final

semester of study.

Attendance and Leave Matters(For MOE employees)

Student teachers who are unable to attend classes for any good reasons must apply for leave of absence. Student teachers who absent themselves without approval or medical certificate issued by medical practitioners in Singapore may be subject to disciplinary action being taken against them. This may lead to termination of service for errant offenders.

It is the onus of student teachers to contact lecturers in charge to explain the reasons for their absence not later than two working days after the date of absence. Those who fail to do so will be issued with a notice of absence letter, a copy of which will be extended to AG Head concerned, both Associate Deans for (Programme Planning and Management) & (Programme and Student Development), Assistant Dean (Diploma) and Deputy Divisional Director/OAAS.

Student teachers are required to produce medical certificates issued by medical practitioner under the Medical Registration Act.

Student teachers are required to upload a clear picture of their medical certificate (MC) via the NIE Portal or the NIE Mobile App within 1 week from the date of issue and show the original MC to the lecturers/tutors when they are back in class.

Student teachers are required to keep the original copy of MC for 6 months from the date of submission for audit checks to be conducted by OAAS, and present the original MC when selected for audit checks. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action.

Medical Leave(For MOE Employees)

Valid reasons

Applications for leave must be made on the appropriate leave application forms which can be obtained from the NIE Portal under ‘Student Services’. Applications for leave of absence must be submitted to MOE through NIE at least seven days in advance. Please submit your leave online to this email: [email protected]

Where the leave is for the purpose of participating in Games, the application should be submitted at least six weeks in advance to allow for processing. Student teachers should not go on leave until approval has been obtained. Late leave applications will not be considered.

Please refer to HR Online (NIE Portal > Services > Student services > Leave) for more information on HR matters.

Leave Application (For MOE Employees)


For longer leave i.e. LEAVE OF ABSENCE (for 1 semester), please consult Manager / Admissions and Student Records, Ms. Abby Lim by e-mail: [email protected].

Student teachers leaving the programme prematurely will be required to immediately inform the NIE and the MOE of their withdrawal in writing at least 1 month before their last day of service.

Leave of Absence/ Withdrawal


Female student teachers who are likely to be on maternity leave during semester time are advised to consult Manager/Admissions and Student Records at the Office of Academic Administration and Services at least one month prior to the expected commencement of leave.

Student teachers may be allowed a maximum of 28 days maternity leave during semester time if there are at least 13 teaching weeks in that semester.

If maternity leave takes place during a semester that has fewer teaching weeks, student teachers may face a higher risk of not being able to fulfil their programme commitments and as a result, may have to extend their programme of study beyond the normal duration at their own cost.

Student teachers who are on maternity leave during Practicum will have to extend their period of Practicum accordingly at their own cost.

Student teachers who are likely to be on maternity leave during semester time are required to check with course lecturers on the implications of their absence before they go on maternity leave.

Maternity Leave During Semester Time

Attendance & Leave

The onus is on the student teachers to make sure that there are no programme commitments to fulfil before leaving for holidays overseas during public holidays, weekends and the NIE vacation during the period concerned.

However, please note that there will be practicum during certain vacation periods, and compulsory Beginning Teachers’ Orientation Programme immediately after the end of their NIE examinations.

You will then assume teaching duties in your posted school immediately thereafter.

For more details, please refer to the General Information Handbook, available on the NIE Portal.

Professional Conduct

Be punctual for all your lessons

Treat one another, admin staff and your lecturers/ tutors with respect in all dealings and over e-mails

Independence: take charge of your own learning: time-table checking, exam verification, checking the portal, reading your emails, etc.

Remember, your life as a teacher begins NOW, your conduct at NIE is a reflection of your future as a teacher
