Important Guidelines and Responsibilities for Research Students at NUS

This document outlines essential information for research students at NUS regarding printing quotas, funding arrangements, internships, and project responsibilities. Printing double-sided ensures efficient quota usage, and banners can be disabled if unanimously agreed. Scholarships are drawn from a general pool, affecting tuition and funding. Internships impact maximum candidature, and students should strategize their finances while interning. Labs have cleaning days and update sessions to ensure organization. This guide serves as a reference for managing responsibilities and funding opportunities effectively.

  1. WING Meeting KAN Min-Yen 28 Dec 2012

  2. Printing • Banner pages are not counted against your quota • Printing double sided incurs only 75% of your printing quota • E.g. 12 single sided pages printed double sided incurs 8 pages of your quota • There is no command line option or printer queue that does not invoke the banner. • We can disable banner sheets for research printers if everyone in a lab unanimously agrees to it. • https://docs.comp.nus.edu.sg/node/1497

  3. RA/RS Arrangements • Scholarships from NExT / CSIDM (Centres) are actually drawn from the general pool for PhD funding • This means when your 4 years are up, you no longer have scholarship • Often you can get 6 months’ of tuition waiver • Also converting to support via RA/TA or p/t RA/TA incurs give you salary (~3K per month) • But then you have to pay the tuition fees (~2K per term?) • As staff you can apply for tuition fee reduction. But you may not get it as it nominally applies to staff working 1 year or longer

  4. Internships • Internships of 3-6 months usually don’t stop your RS (stipend), unless you apply to have it stopped. • Internships do count against your maximum candidature of 5 years. • You can apply to extend your maximum candidature for one semester but beyond that is difficult • School is under pressure to have you graduate too

  5. Conclusion • When you’re an early RS, save up your money to hold against your fifth year. • When you’re interning, try to negotiate some stipend, and think about whether you want to have your stipend stopped.
