What happens if a student is absent from the main examination?
A student who is unable to attend a main examination must obtain prior written approval from the school for the intended absence. The student concerned must submit a letter with supporting documentary evidence to the Program Manager at least 14 calendar days (depending on reasons for absence) before the examination for approval. Leave of absence may be granted on the following grounds: (a) Reservist training for male Singapore Citizens/PR; (b) Acceptable medical conditions; (c) Bereavement of parents, spouse or children; (d) Official overseas assignment The decision on whether the student’s reason for absence is acceptable is at the sole discretion of the school, whose decision is final. The student who fails to attend an examination without prior approval will be deemed to have failed the main examination.
