Application for renewal of Student’s Pass or upon programme transfer

This applies if you are currently studying in LASALLE, and your Student’s Pass will expire before the programme ends or if you wish to switch to a different programme at LASALLE.

This applies in the following scenarios:

Scenario 1

You are currently studying in LASALLE and your Student’s Pass will expire before the programme ends for e.g. you are moving from diploma to degree, but your Student’s Pass expires at the end of your diploma programme.

Scenario 2

You wish to switch to a different programme at LASALLE. You will be liable to pay for the fees incurred for the transfer of your Student’s Pass.

– Processing fee: S$30
– Issuance of card fee: S$60
– Multiple entry visa (if required): S$30 (this is determined by ICA)

 

Step 1
 If you are switching programmes, please inform the Division of Student Administration of your eligibility and decision to do so. You are required to sign a new contract before we proceed with your transfer of Student’s Pass application. Transfer of programme needs to be completed before the commencement of each semester.
Step 2
 The Division of Student Administration will then register your application for a Student’s Pass on ICA’s SOLAR+ system and obtain your SOLAR+ application number. This will be emailed to your LASALLE email account.
Step 3
 Within seven days upon receiving the SOLAR+ application number, you must complete the required fields in the Student’s Pass document on the SOLAR+ website. To begin, click on ‘PEO’, which stands for Private Education Organisation. Then click on ‘STUDENT’, which brings you to a student login page. Key in the particulars reflected on your SOLAR+ application number as provided in the email notification sent by the Division of Student Administration.
Step 4

Fill in all required details and upload your photo at the end. The system will prompt you to pay for the processing fee of S$30. ICA will not process your application if you do not pay the processing fee.
Step 5
 You may check the status of your application online at the same website, using your SOLAR+ application number. ICA will process your application within two to four weeks.
Step 6
 Once ICA has approved your renewal/transfer course, an In-Principle Approval (IPA) will be issued. The Division of Student Administration will email you for the collection of the IPA letter.
Step 7

Collect the IPA Letter from the Division of Student Administration.
Step 8

You may be required to go for a medical check up. For renewal/transfer cases, the medical examination must be done in Singapore by any registered GP. HIV testing may be done with either rapid or ELISA tests.
Step 9

Collect your Student’s Pass from ICA within two months from the issue date of the IPA letter. Collection of the Student’s Pass is by e-appointment and you will be required to complete formalities in person at the ICA Services Centre. Please bring along the following documents:

  • IPA letter
  • Passport (which must be valid for at least half a year)
  • One recent passport-sized colour photograph
  • Documents as listed in Annex A or B (Refer to IPA letter)
  • A completed original medical check-up form and original copy of the laboratory report
  • Your duly signed Student’s Pass application e-forms
  • Acknowledge a copy of the Terms and Conditions of Issue for Long Term Pass (LTP) Card
  • Issuance of card fee: S$60 and S$30 multiple entry visa (if required—this will be determined by ICA). You can make your payments online via SOLAR+ system or payment by NETS, CashCard, Visa and MasterCard credit/debit cards at the lobby located at the ICA Services Centre.

 

IMPORTANT: 
Your attendance and performance in your previous programme is of utmost importance in securing a successful transfer or renewal of your Student’s Pass. If you have a record of poor attendance (anything below 90%) or poor academic performance, you will experience difficulty in renewing or transferring your Student’s Pass and it is highly likely that ICA will not approve your application.

NOTE: Please be aware that you must pay the Student’s Pass fee of S$40 per year or part thereof to ICA every time you transfer or renew your Student’s Pass.
