wads RELC? (RELC is a building that UOL Singapore office is located at.you need to go there to pay for the UOL fees.the building is right next to Shangri La hotel.can take bus to delfi shopping mall and walk in.)

and wads the UOL external system about? i currently is provision student for bsc in acc n finance. am i considered inside the uol external system oreadi? since the bsc when i applied wrote sim-uol? if not do i nid apply for dat system? wads e use of dat external system abt? (external system i not too sure...never hear my bf say before...)

another qn is abt exemptions. i from np acc and they say got full yr 1 exemption from the bsc i enrol tgt with the 2 bridging courses (maths n econs). i nid apply and pay e excemption fee or isit consider auto exemption? if i nv pay e exemption fee i nid retake dat whole module in the semeter isit? (cos you opt for exemption,you need to go for bridging course.this is to verify if you can exempt or not.the exemption fee is to pay them for the procedures that they are helping you through.)

nxt is the SPS (student protection scheme). wads dat abt except for the tuition payment ting? isit better to opt in or opt out of it? (this one can don't bother.heard from bf that it is useless..but depends on individual)

last qn: the sim GE student dorms? any local sg de live in there? or is it all int'l student? (should be providing for intl students)

cheers

thx for the advice

i currently is provision student for bsc in acc n finance. am i considered inside the uol external system oreadi? since the bsc when i applied wrote sim-uol? if not do i nid apply for dat system? wads e use of dat external system abt?- If I'm not worng that the earlier registration (pay $53.50 appl fee) was onli for SIM...means tt the package we just got was after SIM accepted us..UOL has not accepted yet..so have to fill in the UOL application form that was included and bring to RELC.

another qn is abt exemptions. i from np acc and they say got full yr 1 exemption from the bsc i enrol tgt with the 2 bridging courses (maths n econs). i nid apply and pay e excemption fee or isit consider auto exemption? if i nv pay e exemption fee i nid retake dat whole module in the semeter isit?- sorries cant help here i got no exemptions xD

nxt is the SPS (student protection scheme). wads dat abt except for the tuition payment ting? isit better to opt in or opt out of it?- i guess it's personal preference ba...the scheme is for eg. when uol suddenly decide they dont wan to teach at SIM or SIM dont wan to continue to hv UOL prog le..something like that..den u can claim $.

last qn: the sim GE student dorms? any local sg de live in there? or is it all int'l student?- hahas i tink veri ex...although i live in east lol

cheers

thx for the advice
