PSEA STANDING ORDER (SO)

For ongoing withdrawal of PSEA fund to pay for BOTH tuition fee & compulsory miscellaneous fees, a Standing Order (SO) has to be established with MOE.

Once the SO is established with MOE, funds equivalent to your total tuition fee & compulsory miscellaneous fees or your available PSEA funds (whichever is lower) will be automatically withdrawn each semester. (Example: If you have $4000 in PSEA funds and your semester's tuition fee & compulsory miscellaneous fees are $3300, a total of $3300 will be withdrawn from the PSEA account).

MOE will inform students of the application outcome. A monthly Transaction Statement will be sent to the account holder if there are PSEA contributions, withdrawal or refund transactions in the previous month.
