The Contracting Party (the registered primary contact parent/appointed guardian) for the DocuSign eContract must be authenticated through the email provided to SYAS, as this email is used to verify the signer's identity. Therefore, the signer (parent/guardian) must:
a. Ensure that an accurate email is provided for this electronic contract signing purpose.
b. Understand that when it comes to any transaction, Singapore’s contract law states that any contract is considered legally binding if the parties have clearly and willingly agreed, whether the agreement may be verbal, on paper or digital. - Access and Signing of the eContract:
The Contracting Parties (the registered primary contact parent/appointed guardian and SYAS representative) for the DocuSign eContract will receive an email with access to the 2025 student contract, which will be sent periodically during the week of the preferential contract signing period. The signer can follow the instructions to sign the contract electronically via the DocuSign service. The deadline to complete the signing of the contract and payment of fees is seven calendar days from the date the eContract is emailed. - Payment of Fees:
In the event that the full payment of fees stipulated in the student contract is not received by the payment due date mentioned, SYAS reserves the right to invalidate the student contract and release the vacancies. - Fee Payment through Flywire:
SYAS has partnered with Flywire to provide you with an easy and secure method of paying your fees. Once the student contract is signed and confirmed by all parties (parent/guardian and SYAS representative), you must log in to the SYAS student portal to access the payment link. DO NOT make any transfer of fees before the student contract is signed and confirmed. Disclaimer: Please note that the school will not provide any payment links through any form of communication other than the SYAS student portal.
