Application for new students

Step 1

Return your Acceptance of Offer together with Semester 1 tuition fees to confirm your place at LASALLE. 

Step 2

The Division of Admissions will register your application for a Student’s Pass through ICA’s SOLAR+ system , and a unique SOLAR+ application number will be generated.

Note: Registration will take place no earlier than three months prior to the programme commencement date. 

Step 3

Your SOLAR+ application number will then be emailed to you and your agent (if you have one). 

Step 4

Apply for your Student’s Pass online within seven days of receiving your SOLAR+ application number. On the website, click on ‘Private Education Institutions (PEI)’.

Note: You will need  your SOLAR+ application number in order to apply for the Student’s Pass. 

Step 5

When you have successfully submitted your SOLAR+ application, it will be reflected as “Receiving attention” according to ICA. 

Step 6

ICA will take about 6 to 8 weeks to process an application. You can check the status of your application on the SOLAR+ website using your SOLAR+ application number. 

Step 7

Once ICA has approved your application, an In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter will be issued.

The Division of Admissions will email a copy of your IPA letter to you or your appointed agent (if you have one). Alternatively, you can also download a copy via the SOLAR+ website. 

If you require a visa to enter Singapore, a pre-approved single journey visa will be automatically included in your IPA letter. You may enter Singapore by producing the IPA letter at the immigration checkpoint, where you will be granted a Visit Pass.

Step 8

Go for a medical check-up (where applicable). Ensure that your doctor uses the medical report attached to your IPA letter.

If you have never studied in Singapore, you may go to a registered general practitioner (GP) in your home country for your medical check-up. However, your GP must use and complete ICA’s prescribed form. If you have studied in Singapore before, you must do your medical check-up in Singapore. At the time of submission, the medical report should not be issued for more than three months.

You are required to complete the online formalities, including payment of the issuance fee and, where applicable, the multiple-journey visa fee, before proceeding to the next step.

Step 9

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. You are required to complete the formalities online before you can book your appointment. 

Alternatively, the College may arrange a time for students to enroll in biometrics at an off-site location in-lieu of an appointment at ICA. In this case, the College will advise students of the date, time and venue for this off-site enrolment. Once you have arrived in Singapore, you must report to this location as scheduled to have your biometrics enrolled.

If you have not been scheduled for any off-site enrolment, you must make an appointment to complete formalities at ICA Services Centre.

Step 10

Documents required for collection of Student’s Pass:

• IPA letter
• Original passport/travel document (which must be valid for at least half a year)
• One recent passport-sized colour photograph
• Copy of the Electronic Visit Pass
• Printout of payment receipts for the processing fee, issuance fee and Multiple-Entry Visa Fee (for nationals requiring a visa only)

Once you have completed the formalities, a digital Student's Pass will be issued to the email address provided in your Student’s Pass application.
