Applications without the essay will not be evaluated.

We will review your application and update you through L3AP on the outcome within 4 working days. Once you receive the application outcome notification email from L3AP, kindly complete your programme fee payment within 2 weeks to secure your placement. Placement is on a first-come-first-serve basis upon completion of payment. Once payment is completed, you will receive an Acceptance Letter to confirm your enrolment. 

Overseas students should check whether their nationality requires a visa to enter Singapore. If a visa is required, students should apply for a tourist visa as the duration of the summer school is too short to be eligible for other visas. Students should submit their visa application through a Singapore Overseas Mission or its authorized visa agent. Students are responsible for arranging their own visa, travel insurance, flight and airport transfer.

Yes. We have a complimentary programme for parents in-person excluding accommodation, 1 parent allowed per enrolled student (see Parent Experience section for selected dates, timings and details).

Programme Commitment & Refund Policy

We are hard at work preparing an unforgettable experience for our students. To ensure we can provide the best resources, staffing, and custom materials for every participant, we maintain the following policy regarding withdrawals and refunds.

Our Refund Structure

As many of our costs, including custom merchandise, local logistics, and catering, are committed well in advance, the following tiered structure applies:

*The administrative fee of S$250 is strictly non-refundable under all circumstances, including flight cancellations.

Qualified Emergency Coverage

We understand that international travel can be unpredictable. A full refund (less the admin fee) will be granted in the event of a Qualified Emergency, defined as:

· Flight Disruptions: Mass flight cancellations where the airline is unable to provide an alternative route to Singapore within 24 hours of the programme’s commencement.

· Official Advisories: Government-issued “Do Not Travel” advisories or border closures due to conflict, war, or severe weather (e.g., typhoons).

· Significant Personal Circumstances: Serious medical emergencies or bereavement within the immediate family.

To process an emergency refund, please provide us with the following,

1. Formal documentation (e.g., a letter from the airline, an official government advisory, or a medical certificate).

2. Submission of the request within 48 hours of the event occurring.

Please note: This policy does not cover personal scheduling conflicts, general travel anxiety, or missed flights due to late airport arrival.

Can’t Make It? Take the Magic Home

For students unable to join us in person, we don’t want you to miss out our NUSC spirit! In cases where a refund is not applicable, we are happy to ship your exclusive student merchandise pack (including your tote bag, lanyard, and other gear) directly to your home at your own expense.

Why this policy?

This structure allows us to guarantee our commitments to our local partners, craftsmen, and staff, ensuring that the NUSC Summer School remains a sustainable and high-standard programme for all. We thank you for your understanding and your commitment to this journey.
