D) Health and travel advisory for graduates & guests returning from overseas

Please refrain from attending the Convocation if you are experiencing any of the ARI symptoms.
No, results from the ART self-test will not be valid for the Convocation event.
Based on the current advisory by the authorities, attendees at large-scale events are required to take COVID-19 Pre-Event Tests from MOH-approved COVID-19 test providers if they have not completed the full Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty, Moderna or any World Health Organisation's Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL which also includes Sinovac-CoronaVac, Sinopharm, and AstraZeneca) vaccination regimen.
Alternatively, attendees can take the required COVID-19 ART Pre-Event Test at SUSS's appointed test provider, Raffles Medical at a special rate of $22 (before GST). More information will be shared with all graduates by 10 September 2021.
*Please note that all PET cost will be borne by graduates and guests themselves.
For Pre-Event Test, only Antigen Rapid Test (ART) is required. The cost of the test differs from different MOH-approved COVID-19 test providers.
However, graduates may opt to take their ART at SUSS's appointed test provider, Raffles medical at a special rate of $22 (before GST). More information on this will be shared with all graduates by 10 September 2021.
*Please note that all PET cost will be borne by graduates and guests themselves.
Antigen Rapid Tests (ART) will be used for the COVID-19 Pre-Event Testing during Convocation. For more information on the ART, please refer to MOH's factsheet on pilots for Pre-Event Testing dated 20 October 2020 and the latest updates on Pre-Event Testing on MOH's website.
Children who are 12 years old and below are currently ineligible for vaccines under the National Vaccination Programme. In line with national guidelines, unvaccinated children aged 12 years and below can attend the convocation ceremony with members of the same household, without the need for the children to undergo PET. However, the household member of the child must be fully-vaccinated.
If you already have a negative Antigen Rapid Test (ART) or Polymerase Chain Reaction Test (PCR) result that is valid until the end time of your assigned Convocation ceremony, you are not required to go for a second COVID-19 test. You will need to present this test result to our staff at the entrance of the campus.
The COVID-19 Pre-Event Test is a mandatory requirement by the Singapore authorities to ensure the health and safety of individuals participating in large-scale events. Individuals, who do not have a valid negative COVID-19 Pre-Event Test result or who have not completed the full Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty, Moderna or any World Health Organisation's Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL which also includes Sinovac-CoronaVac, Sinopharm, and AstraZeneca) vaccination regimen, will NOT be allowed to attend the Convocation ceremony.
If you are tested positive on ART, you must take the confirmation Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Test. This PCR test can be taken at the test facility where the ART was earlier performed. The cost of the PCR test conducted at the test facility where the ART was earlier performed will be fully borne by the Singapore Government.
While waiting for the PCR results, you are to self-isolate yourself and will not be allowed to attend the Convocation ceremony. Please consult your doctor immediately for further advice.
To ensure the health and safety of individuals participating in SUSS Convocation 2021, if a graduate or his/her guest is tested positive for COVID-19, we regret to inform that the graduate AND his/her guests will not be allowed to attend the Convocation.
Protecting the health, safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and guests remain the University's top priority. We will only conduct our in-person Convocation provided it is safe to do so with the various precautionary and safe management measures taken during the Convocation.
Graduates who are unable to attend the Convocation in October 2021 due to valid reasons (e.g., positive ART result or travel restrictions) may request to attend the next Convocation for the Class of 2022. You may wish to note that the attendance at the Class of 2022 Convocation ceremony will still be subjected to the prevailing COVID-19 public health measures and Government regulations.
For graduates attending the Convocation ceremony, collection of certificates will be at the registration counter on the actual day.
For graduates not attending the ceremony, there will be NO certificate collections during the physical Convocation 2021 Ceremony planned from 5 - 12 October 2021.
