Transfer Policy

A Transfer means a student changes the course of study but remains as a student of Addison Institute. This policy applies when a student voluntarily requests for a change in the enrolled programme of study to another programme offered by Addison Institute. This includes transferring from full time to part time mode of studies or vice versa.

All requests for transfer from the Course must be accompanied by the completed Request Form for Deferment/Withdrawal/Transfer and supporting documents one month before the commencement of semester / unit. Addison Institute will not be able to accept verbal notice given by the Student.

Submitting the request does NOT automatically result in an official transfer. Students must ensure that they receive a formal notice / confirmation form the school regarding the outcome of their request for transfer.

A student seeking to transfer to another programme will be officially assessed by Addison Institute and/or the University Partner to ensure the student fulfils the academic requirement of the new programme. Approval for transfer will be granted on a case-by-case basis subject to the student meeting the admissions requirements of the new programme and approval from the university where applicable. Refund policy applies where applicable. Pre-course counselling will be done as part of the new course application.

For student under 18 years of age and / or international student holding Student’s Pass, ADDISON INSTITUTE International Institute will seek parental/guardian approval prior to processing the request for the transfer.

The student will be required to sign a new contract when the transfer is approved. The original contract must be terminated.

Subject to Addison Institute Refund Policy, any remaining fees from the existing programme will be transferred to the new programme and the student will have to top up the difference in fees (if any). The Refund Policy and the cooling-off period of seven (7) working days do not apply to transfer students.

An administrative fee will be charged for the transfer process.

It takes approximately 14 working days to process a transfer request. Students must continue to attend classes before the transfer request is approved.

Transfer to other school is treated as withdrawal from Addison Institute. Withdrawal policy and Refund policy shall apply.

Upon approval of transfer request, student pass will be cancelled for International Students.

Student who request for internal transfer to another course within Addison Institute will also need to resubmit student pass application to Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA) for approval.
