2016 O levels (Kids born in 2000)

Mr Bean:

Not yet. She just received the email yesterday. I called TP yesterday and they told me to wait for the enrolment package which will be sent by post. Now, there’s an issue – her posted course in another poly requires her to do online enrolment by 5pm tomorrow else the offer will lapse. I don’t think we will be able to receive TP’s enrolment package by tomorrow. Looks like we will have to visit the Admissions office tomorrow for further advice so that she does not end up in nowhere.

really a headache with different deadlines in diff polytechnics. it's stressful to be 'in no man's land'...did TP advise you to register personally so that your daughter has a secured place?

you mentioned the course she was posted to requires online enrolment by tomorrow. that means all this while you were waiting for the result of TP's culinary course?

Her DAE status states that it is successful and she is offered Diploma in Culinary & Catering Management course. It’s like the JAE posting result, everything is online. Actually, that should serve as a confirmation. She didn’t receive any official letter and I am not sure whether this is norm. Will drop by TP tomorrow to check what’s her next course or action, just want to be safe.

You are right, all this while she is waiting for TP’s culinary course. She did JAE-Appeal but was not successful. She then tried DAE. Like what you mentioned, there are so many stages and so many waiting phases. The good thing is that if you are not successful at one stage, there’s still hope for next stage.

When she applied for DAE, she was advised to enrol for her posted course to prevent lapse, as DAE does not guarantee successful admission. So, technically she could complete her online enrolment for her posted course and pay the enrolment fee to secure her place (tuition fee need not be paid yet). Subsequently, withdraw from that course and enrol to TP. But, I feel that we should not hold on to the posted course unnecessarily so that other interested students need not wait too long and their plans not jeopardised.

I feel that JAE appeal, E appeal and even DAE is it's wait, wait and wait because there are so many movements going on. But any email should serve as a confirmation since it's black and white.
Poly admissions dept do not welcome physical attendance, instead all are done via online. But since your daughter likes the TP course and it is confirmed via email. the enrolment package takes a while to arrive though the mail, so the safe thing now is drop by and see how you can secure that place. As parents, we have to go all out to help our kids secure the course as their future is at stake.

I try not to place on much hope on all these JAE/DAE submissions. It's really a torture waiting and there is no end to it. Son told me his friend plans to do a DAE to RP and that boy will fall under phase 2 registration...date of result will be out end March.

Hi Mr Bean,

Have you secured the TP culinary course for your daughter?

Hi Mr Bean,

Have you secured the TP culinary course for your daughter?

I didn't do the online enrolment for her posted course. I think it will just lapse.

I dropped by TP yesterday and was told that they had just mailed out her enrolment package and it should reach us on Monday. Her TP's DAE course acceptance deadline is Tuesday, 28/2/17 5pm, so should be just in time for her to do the online enrolment.

The acceptance is Tuesday 28/2 and package is expected on Monday...that leaves you with a very tight window to register. So Monday night would be spent filling up all the forms.
congrats getting the course your daughter loves. A happy child will go all out to study what she enjoys.
