4.—(1) Despite regulations 2 and 3, the revoked Regulations continue to apply to —| (a) | any person who, before 1 August 2020, has enrolled in a course of study conducted by any of the tertiary institutions specified in the second column of the Schedule to the revoked Regulations that leads to the conferment, on or after 1 August 2020, of a qualification specified in the third column of that Schedule that corresponds to that tertiary institution; and | | (b) | any person who, before 1 August 2020 —| (i) | has received a letter of acceptance that is dated before 1 August 2020 from any of the tertiary institutions specified in the second column of the Schedule to the revoked Regulations in relation to a course of study that leads to the conferment of a qualification specified in the third column of that Schedule that corresponds to that tertiary institution; and | | (ii) | has deferred the commencement of that course of study to a date on or after 1 August 2020 due to that person’s liability to render full‑time service as a national serviceman, |
|
| as if these Regulations had not been made. |
| (2) To avoid doubt, nothing in regulations 2 and 3 affects any person who, before 1 August 2020, has been conferred a prescribed qualification under the revoked Regulations. |
(3) In paragraph (1)(b) —| “full‑time service” and “national serviceman” have the meanings given by section 2 of the Enlistment Act (Cap. 93); |
| “letter of acceptance” means a letter from a tertiary institution accepting a person’s application and offering that person admission as a candidate for a course of study conducted at the tertiary institution leading to a qualification conferred by that tertiary institution. |
