A module RM is said to be retractable if HomR (M, U) ≠ 0 for each nonzero submodule U of M. M is said to be a CS module if every complement submodule of M is a direct summand in M. Retractable modules are compared to nondegenerate modules on the one hand and to e–retractable modules on the other (nondegenerate implies retractable implies e–retractable); and it is shown that if M is nonsingular and retractable, then EndRM is a left CS ring if and only if M is a CS module.
