*LLB Academic Briefing is part of Law Kickstarter (Compulsory Pre-Term classes) held on 31 July to 1 August 2025. Detailed programme will be provided by end July.
At the academic briefing, you will be briefed on the details as well as some of the courses that you could take for the coming academic year. You will also find materials that will help answer any queries that you may have pertaining to your degree programme. You may choose to attend two online briefings if you have opted for a double-degree programme.
We will also give you an idea of what BOSS is.
BOSS is short for “Bidding Online SyStem”. This is a unique system that allows you to bid for your courses using “e-dollars”. As part of our scheme to mould you into smart business leaders of the future, we have created an online system for course registration that uses the bidding process.
In SMU, all course registration is done via BOSS.
