Student life-related

The Orientation is not compulsory. However, students are strongly encouraged to attend as it is a good opportunity to not only learn more about your programme and academic requirements, but also to meet your fellow peers and professors.

If you are not able to attend Orientation, do keep yourself updated with the latest happenings through your SUSS MyMail, Student Portal and Student Life telegram

Students may be involved in SUSS Interest Groups (IGs) or Competition Groups (CGs).

IGs provide students with the opportunities to experience a vibrant student life and develop a stronger sense of belong. Students will get to meet like-minded peers and hone common interests that lead to purposeful learning, growth, and element. Click here to see the full listing of SUSS IGs and how to join them.

CGs provide students with opportunities to participate in varsity, national and international competitions to enhance their college experience. Click here for the full listing of SUSS CGs and how to join them.

Students may also initiate and lead campus projects to promote campus life within the SUSS community. Funding support is available for eligible projects. Click here for more information.

Please visit this site to find out more on the IG guidelines and how you can go about setting up an IG in SUSS. 

After you have submitted the application form to Student Life, a mentor will be assigned to guide you (and your team) along on how to improve on the proposal and start the IG.
