We would like to reiterate that currently, the situation in Singapore is being contained and there is no need to worry, as long as we remain vigilant and socially responsible.
We will support international students who are required to serve QO/SHN. Those who have issues with accommodation and require assistance with basic necessities can approach Student Services for help.
The well-being of all students is important to us. Students may reach out to our counsellors for emotional support at any time.
