of subsidised semesters that they had enjoyed TG previously,

NTU, SMU) before AY2006;

policy has not been applied on the student before.
C.
Students who have previously attended a local polytechnic or arts
institutions
Under this category, student shall be entitled to a maximum
of 10 semesters of tuition grant, including the numbers of tuition
grant students would have already received during their study previously
with their ex-polytechnic or arts institutions.
Republic Polytechnic will charge students the subsidised tuition fees during the period when they are eligible for TG. Subsequently,
Republic Polytechnic will charge students the full tuition fees for the period
that they are no longer eligible for TG. The available financial schemes (if
applicable) will only pay for the tuition fees after the TG subsidy.

polytechnic X for 2 years (4 semester) and subsequently apply and study a 3 year course
