To: All 3rd Year Aeronautical Engineering Students

Dear All,

Please be informed that we will be having our last TPI Exams for the semester on November
22, 2023. Note that those who failed to pass TPI Level 1 last August or backed out will have
one last chance to retake the TPI before being considered for probation. Please do note that
we will now strictly implement NO TPI no clearance as the curriculum strictly specified that
TPI should be taken before going up to the 3rd year level. For conditional, you must also retake
the subjects you are deemed to retake together with the retakers.

Please find the academic break as a time to review for the upcoming TPI Exams as this was
announced way back when the results were out last August 2023.
