*Please submit your EL Placement as soon as you have secured an internship for credit-bearing. Late applications will not be entertained unless genuine reasons with proof are provided (e.g., proof of late contract/letter issuance by the employer, etc).

1. Students are absolutely not allowed to embark on a BI course in their final graduating semester. For example, students should not plan to take BI course in the Special Term that they are going to file for graduation, etc.
2. Internships should not overlap with your final exams.
3. For Semester 1 internships that commence in May/Jun, please submit your EL Placement before Week 2 of your internship period or by the closing date, whichever is earlier.

With effect from Semester 2, AY2025/2026 onwards, students will not be allowed to read the FSP course concurrently with full-time internships (both credit-bearing and non-credit-bearing).
