Before accessing the Joint Residential College Application System, candidates should note the following:

• For incoming freshmen, please feel free to apply to us while awaiting your offer from NUS. However, admission into the UTCP at Tembusu College is contingent upon your acceptance of an offer to pursue an undergraduate degree program in NUS.
• By joining Tembusu College, you will participate in the UTCP.
• You may indicate your preference for Tembusu College in your application, but your eventual College placement (if selected) may be different from this.
• Once you have submitted your application, please check your email inbox and spam box for our reply. Thank you.
• Meals are considered part of community life in the college, and it is compulsory for all students to purchase meal plan if admitted to the College. Please refer to our FAQ for more information.
• Navigate through our Interactive Map to experience life as a Tembusian and explore the student activities within our College.
• More information is available on Residential Colleges. Alternatively, email us to find out more.

As there will only be one application window, you are strongly encouraged to apply even if you have not received an offer to join an undergraduate degree programme in NUS yet. Ultimately, admission into the RC Programmes is contingent upon your acceptance of an offer to pursue an undergraduate degree programme in NUS.
