The CPE is charged with ensuring academic standards and quality of service to students in the private education sector inSingapore are world class.While the EduTrust certification scheme is voluntary as with the CaseTrust certification scheme, it is one of the prerequisites whichprivate education institutions that enrol international students must meet to qualify for the issue of Student Passes, as stipulatedby the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) in which the Singapore campus must adhere to.Students are able to check whether their fees are protected via CPE's official website (http://www.cpe.gov.sg) Click on the \"Are my school fees protected?\" link listed under the \"Quick Links\" column. Enter National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) number or Foreign Identification Number (FIN) to retrieve the information.One important aspect of the EduTrust framework is the Fee Protection Scheme (FPS), which aims to protect students against lossof course fees due to malpractice by the course providers. It is compulsory for both international students and for local students.The FPS serves to protect the international and local students' fees in the event that a PEI is unable to continue operations due toinsolvency and/or regulatory closure. Furthermore, the FPS protects the student if the PEI fails to pay penalties or to return fees tostudents arising from judgements made against it by the Singapore Courts.OSAC International College has put in place Escrow Scheme: Escrow SchemeVersion 24 (updated February 2015) 31
