Fees

Administrative Fees for Withdrawal/Deferment

Overview

Withdrawal/Deferment


Students who have decided to defer or withdraw from the course have to complete and submit an application through the Student Clearance System at http://myrp/scs.

Students who submit an application to defer or withdraw must ensure:-
  • Their application is completed
  • Their outstanding loans or dues are fully settled
  • Thereafter receive a letter of confirmation from Republic Polytechnic on their application to defer or withdraw
Students are informed that absenteeism is not equivalent to withdrawal or deferment.

It is important to note that students who are absent completely from school since Day 1 of the semester is not equivalent to withdrawal or deferment. Therefore, students who are dismissed will be required to pay for the full amount of their course fees.

Administrative Fees Policy


Students who defer or withdraw may be liable to pay administrative fees, depending on the date they submit their application.
