No refund will be given if notification is received less than 2 weeks before the start of a posting or if you withdraw after a posting has begun.

There will be no refund of elective fees for students who have to terminate their electives due to disciplinary action being meted out for failing to abide by the Code of Conduct of NUS Medicine and/ or the Singapore Authorities.
