The Customer Service staff will evaluate each student's application and recommend management approval. Upon approval, the applicant is deemed selected for the course applied, and a Letter of Offer, two copies of the Advisory Note to students, and the Standard PEI-Student Contract are issued; the contract can be explained in the student's native language if required. Students and parents/guardians (for students below 18) sign the Advisory Note prior to signing the Standard PEI-Student Contract, and all documents must be submitted to complete the admission process.
