FAQ
If you feel unwell, please inform your FOP student leader immediately. If you are at home, please stay at home or visit a doctor. If you are at our orientation programme, we will allow you to leave the orientation after informing your guardian or parent. We will inform your advisor to follow up with you.
FOP plays a key role in helping new students:
- settle into poly life and LSCT culture early,
- build friendships and support networks with coursemates and seniors,
- understand academic expectations, student support systems, and school routines,
- feel a sense of belonging from the start, which supports transition into poly life
Because of this, students are expected to attend FOP as far as possible.
We understand that some ITE students may not have their timetables confirmed yet. Please do the following:
