Transfer, Withdrawal and Deferment Policy/Procedure

Course Transfer Process/Policy

A course transfer is when a student transfers from one course to another that is offered in Invictus. The parent is required to follow the following process for course transfer from school:

  1. Make an official request to the Principal in writing
  2. The Principal will then organise an assessment to determine the student’s suitability for the requested course. This can be carried out by the subject teachers or school leaders.
  3. After the assessment, the principal will determine the final outcome of the request.
  4. a. Amend the student contract if the course changes affect only the course title and all other aspects of the contract remain the same. b. Withdraw the student and enact a new student contract if the course changes impact course fees and other aspects other than course title. The registration fee will be waived in this case
  5. The FPS is then amended according to FPS policy.

Student Withdrawal Process

A withdrawal in Invictus is when a student/parent decides to leave the institution permanently either to relocate or move to another school. The parent is required to follow the following process for withdrawal from school:

1. Send an email to inform the Homeroom teacher/Principal about the intent to withdraw.
2. Admission Officer will release the Withdrawal Request Form found on the Invictus Management
System to the parent to fill, sign and submit, via the IMS.
3. The submitted withdrawal Form will be sent to the Principal for approval.
4. Once the Principal approval is given, the parent will be informed if there is eligibility for a refund based upon the Invictus Refund Policy (Refer Refund Policy).
5. The process will be completed within 7 working days from the student’s last date in school, including a refund if any.

8. Students holding Student Passes are required to submit his/ her Student’s Pass to Invictus for cancellation of Student’s Pass with ICA by the Admission Officer.


Course Deferment Policy/Procedure

A Course Deferment refers to a student who wishes to delay his/her course of studies and to carry forward his/her paid fees to a later period. Deferment may arise due to factors such as the need to serve in the military service, medical or for any other valid reason(s).

Parents are informed that Invictus considers requests from students for course deferment on a case by case basis. A deferment is taken as a withdrawal but keeping their applications on an inactive list. The student’s application on the management system is reactivated should the student decide to return to school within 12 months and if there is a vacancy for that grade level. The registration fee is waived and parent(s) need not go through the application process again.

As a policy, Course Deferment is generally not encouraged unless on compassionate grounds, and approval is granted at the sole discretion of the Principal. There must be a good reason deemed acceptable to Invictus, and the course must be ongoing such that by the time the student returns at the end of the deferment period, he is still able to study all the required subjects and successfully complete the course. 

Acceptable reasons may include:
● family members who are very sick or dying where the student’s presence at home is required
● traumatic family circumstances (e.g. death of a parent in an accident) where the family needs to be together to support each other
● sickness or poor health where the student needs to have an extended period of rest

All deferment requests must be written in and go through the same policies and processes as a Course Withdrawal.


Student Attendance Policy

Invictus requires a minimum of 90% attendance each month from its international students on ICA’s Student Pass. This requirement of 90% attendance is communicated to parents through acknowledgement of the Student Handbook.

  1. The teacher will update the attendance list and record reasons on the School Management System from parent’s correspondence. A student on medical leave is required to furnish the medical certificate to the School Receptionist or homeroom teacher the following day.
  2. Should a student whose attendance falls below 90%, the teacher will alert the parent. Should a student whose attendance falls below 75%, the Principal/School Reception will send a communication to the parent on the concerns with attendance. A warning letter may be issued.
  3. For international students, a student who is absent from class for seven (07) consecutive days without valid reasons will be deemed to have withdrawn from the course. If the school has been unable to contact the parent/student, the Student Pass for International students will be cancelled.
  4. Students who are unable to come for lessons will have parents contact the school stating the reason before 9 am of the school day.
  5. The Principal/Vice-Principal will arrange to meet a student who is absent for 5 or more days in a month without a valid reason, to find out the reasons for the absence and to counsel the student if necessary.
  6. Secondary students who are late for 3 subsequent days in the academic year would attend a detention session

Assessment Results and Appeals Process

Assessment results are released to parents and students at the end of each semester.

A parent/guardian (on behalf of the student) may only appeal in writing for his/her child’s final results to be reviewed under genuine circumstances where factors beyond the student's control have affected the student's academic performance. 

Appeals must be submitted in writing within 48 hours of the results. Late appeals will not be
entertained.

The Principal and Vice-Principal are responsible for reviewing the results with the relevant academic staff and for recommending either for the marks to stand or a change of marks to the Examination Board. Invictus will respond to any appeals/concerns within 4 weeks of the release of results.

Parents may write into the school should they have concerns about the student's overall progress reports. The principal, in consultation with teachers, will reply with any follow-up actions or support measures provided to students.
