POSTING RESULTS Students must indicate their decision to accept / reject / appeal in the PFP portal. An email acknowledgement will be sent once you have successfully selected one of the options above. Failure to indicate their decision in the PFP system by the deadline will result in their PFP offers lapsing, i.e. the student would be deemed to have rejected the PFP offer and will continue with their classes in Sec 5 instead. Hence, students should email the PFP helpdesk (help@pfp.polytechnic.edu.sg) if they do not receive the acknowledgement emails to avoid the possibility of their offers being lapsed.
APPEALS Check your results after the close of the appeals window. a. Students who are successful will have 3 working days to accept or reject their new PFP offer, following which the offer will be voided. They will not be able to reinstate their original PFP offer b. Students who are unsuccessful in their appeal will retain their original offer. They will have 3 working days to accept or reject this offer, following which the offer will be voided. c. Students who are unsuccessful in their appeal and did not have an original offer could receive a posting to a PFP course that they are eligible for. They will have 3 working days to accept or reject this offer, following which the offer will be voided. This arrangement is new for 2020, and is subject to available vacancies and students meeting the subject-specific requirements of the PFP courses.
