After the DTF 2011, eligible students will be invited by email to apply for the reimbursement through completion of the NOSS application form available from a University website. The application period is from 1 October - 30 November 2011.

 

Students are required to complete the online application form, and submit with the following documents to the FO for processing reimbursement:

 

1.

Print and sign the online application form. By signing the application form, students should have read and agreed to abide by the terms and conditions of the NOSS 2011.

2.

A copy of the receipt for purchasing the notebook computer at DTF 2011. Please ensure student name, student number, notebook model and serial number must be shown on the receipt. The FO will not process the reimbursement without a valid receipt or if the receipt is lost.

 

If the application is in order, the subsidy will be transferred to the student's bank account before 31 December 2011. Details on the reimbursement process will be announced later.
