If you are a foreign national not based in Singapore, you will need a visiting/study visa during your course of study here. It is your own responsibility to check your visa status and ensure you obtain the correct visa before travelling to Singapore. Please check with the Continuing Education team via email/phone to ensure that your place in the course is confirmed running before making any travel arrangements. The Continuing Education Programme is not liable for travel and accommodation costs in the event of any course cancellation. For accommodation arrangements, may wish to refer to hostelworld.com, booking.com or Dwell Student Living which is the closest to the campus.
COVID-19 update
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, please check for updates on Border Control Measures issued by Singapore's Immigration & Checkpoints Authority.
With effect from 1 April 2022, a non-refundable application fee will apply to all Continuing Education Programmes (CEP) which run from 1 July 2022 onwards.
Participants may apply for more than one CEP course, but are required to pay a fee for each course application. The application fee is $10 (excludes GST) for local and international applicants, and is non-refundable.
Withdrawal from the course under any circumstances does not account as a reason for an application fee refund. This includes changing your mind, applying for a different intake for the same course and/or non-commencement of course.
The application fee will be made upon course application via online credit card payment, PayNow/PayLah! or fund transfer. Please email [email protected] for payment instructions.
Course application process is complete only upon receipt of full payment (application and course fee) within the given payment timeline.

Cancellation and Refund
A course may be cancelled if there is an insufficient number of applicants. If that happens, you have the option to transfer to the next available course or a refund. The application fee is non-refundable.
A withdrawal request must be made in writing to [email protected]. The request will be evaluated based on the following guidelines:
- A 100% refund if a participant's written notice of withdrawal is received more than seven working days before the course commencement date, less administration charge of $40.00.
- A 50% refund if a participant's written notice of withdrawal is received three working days before the course commencement date, less administrative charges of $40.00.
- No refund if a participant's written notice of withdrawal is received less than three working days before course commencement date.
- Strictly no refund for missed class(es), no show or withdrawal on the day on or after the course has stared. For special package fee applicants, in the event that you wish to withdraw from the remaining course, the full course fee applies for the course(es) that has commenced. For example: Fashion Illustration Special Package Fee of $850 minus $480 (full fee for Fashion Illustration I), the refund due to you is $330* (less administration charge of $40.00).
Transfer requests must be made in writing to [email protected] at least 10 working days before the course commencement date. A $40.00 administration charge is payable for each transfer. No transfer is allowed once a course has started.
