Special Educational Needs
Republic Polytechnic (RP) is committed to building an inclusive community, which promotes a culture of understanding, and mutual support that enhances the learning experience and development of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
The Special Educational Needs (SEN) team has been specifically set up to cater for students with SEN. It will tap on relevant resources (within and outside of RP) to provide transition and support services to meet the individual needs of our students with SEN.

- Access arrangements for assessments*
- Time extension
- Supervised rest break
- Adjustment to test paper format (colour legend, font size etc.)
- Other support measures
