Q: I am unable to travel to Singapore when the August 2022 cohort commences classes. Can I request for a deferment to the next intake, or a refund of the paid Registration Fee shortly before classes commence?
We are monitoring the current situation closely, and will update you if there are any changes to the mode of study during the first semester of Aug 2022 intake (for e.g. online classes), so that all our students will be able to start their lessons virtually, without any disruption to the start date.
In any case, if the above solution is not feasible, yes, we can defer your studies to the next intake (AY2023/24), with no penalty involved.
If you would still prefer to receive a refund, yes, we can process the refund accordingly. Please refer to the 3rd question in this dropdown for the refund policy.
In this fluid situation, please be rest assured that we will announce every measure that we need to implement to all our incoming students as soon as we can.
