In the face of COVID-19 pandemic, SSS TAISI has decided to take the following measures for 2022 April/September Entry applicants.
Test waiver policy (Standardized Test/University Entrance Qualification Examination)
We acknowledge that the pandemic has led to cancellations and postponement of standardized tests/university entrance examinations all over the world. In response to such unprecedented circumstances, the submission of the results of university entrance qualification examinations/standardized tests will be waived for applicants who have difficulties in submitting their test scores.
- SSS TAISI considers the exam results as an important factor in evaluating the academic ability of applicants. Applicants who have taken/can take the exams are required to submit the
exam results to demonstrate their academic ability and potential. - However, submission of test scores will be waived in case the applicants cannot submit the test scores due to cancellations, postponement, or any other unavoidable situations caused by COVID-19.
- Submission of test scores alone will NOT determine the screening result. Document screening will be conducted in a holistic and contextual way, thus applicants will not be unfairly penalized by not submitting the exam results.
- Applicants who cannot submit the exam results are requested to explain the reason on the designated online application system. Detailed instructions will be given in the Application Guidelines.
- All applicants are still required to submit a document to prove their academic qualifications (e.g. If you are applying as a holder of the following qualifications, you will still be required to submit a certificate to prove your eligibility: International Baccalaureate Diploma, Baccalauréat, Abitur, or General Certificate of Education Advanced Level).
The above measures are only effective for TAISI Admission for 2022 April/September Entry as of 15 June, 2021. The SSS TAISI Admissions Office will continue to carefully observe the influence of the pandemic and may take additional measures.
