  • Company-sponsored students must attach written approval from their company.
  • Approved application for deferment does not automatically warrant recipients of study/tuition grant with extension of grant duration by the respective grant body. In cases whereby the grant body disallows deferment of modules or extension of course duration, students have to make the decision to continue the course without deferment and continue to enjoy the funding or to continue the course with deferment and take the consequences to pay up the supported amount of course fee as funding may be withdrawn.

For STP Holder

  • International Students will be required to cancel their Student’s Pass as required by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) if their course deferment request is approved. Student’s Pass is subject to ICA’s approval.
