Reboot: SEP/Summer School Consultation Hours

Dear students

As a way to make it easier for students to follow up with their queries for SEP as well as summer school, we have restarted the consultation hours; typically on Tuesday and Thursday; barring public holidays. Please note that the venue is AS7 5th floor at the Executive Meeting Room. You may ask at the counter on the 5th floor. We also ask students to be no more than half an hour late as you will be asked to come back for the next session if you arrive after 5.30 pm.

Please note that the consultation hours are on a weekly basis for the rest of April and May but will resume to bi-monthly thereafter. The detailed dates and information are listed on the link below.
