with the Confirmed Offer, and bring them to the institution for endorsement.
The institution will retain a copy, while the student will retain another copy
(duly endorsed by the institution) for reference. |
Each student is allowed to accept only one
Confirmed Offer at any one time. If a student is found to have accepted more
than one Confirmed Offer, he will be disqualified from the DSA JC Exercise

having accepted a Confirmed Offer from an institution, he must cancel his
earlier acceptance by formally submitting a Cancellation Form at the MOE
