APPLICATION PROCESS
There are two rounds of application each year. Round 1 of applications occur in the November-December period, where students can apply for SEP in Semester 1 or 2 of the following academic year. Round 2 of the applications is in February-March, where students can only apply for Semester 2 of the following academic year. As round 2 of applications would only offer the university slots that have yet to be filled, it would be prudent to apply in round 1, to have a wider array of choices and secure the university of your choice.
Unlike previous years application process, the rank of universities DO NOT matter under the new system. During the application of the SEP, you would need to rank the universities of your choice, with up to 5 choices. All applications are purely based on merit. Therefore, for example Student A (with a higher CAP) picks X University as his 5th choice, while B (with a lower CAP) picks X University as her 1st. If A does not get choices 1 – 4, he will be considered for a place in X University over B.
