Deferrals
You must write a formal letter to the Principal requesting leave. Deferrals are not automatic and depend on academic standing.
Re-entry
If you have been away for less than five (5) years, you may apply for re-entry to complete referred courses. A GPA of 2.0 is required to resume studies.
Graduation
The Valedictory Service and Graduation Ceremony are held every November.
