SUTD decision on the application outcome including allocation and offer of host university is final and cannot be disputed. Request or appeal to change the offered host university will not be entertained. Selection and exchange offer by SUTD does not constitute an offer of enrolment by the host university. The host university reserves the right to accept or decline a student's application.
