The Student Peer Referral Scheme aims to incentivise current students and alumni to actively participate in the ITS recruitment process. Referrers are encouraged to leverage their personal networks to attract prospective students. Their firsthand experience with the institution provides a unique opportunity to promote ITS courses to students exploring their future careers.

To be eligible, the referred student must include the referrer’s name and email address at the time of application. ITS will then verify the referrer’s status as a current student or alumnus before proceeding with any rewards.

  • Only currently enrolled students and verified alumni of the Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS) are eligible to participate as referrers.
  • ITS reserves the right to verify referrers' enrollment or alumni status before issuing any rewards.

Referral Rewards:

  • Referrers will receive a referral fee contribution equal to 12% of the enrolled course fee when a referred student successfully enrolls.
  • Referred students will receive an 8% discount on their second semester tuition fee.

Disbursement of Referral Fee and Discount:

Prohibited Actions and Fraud Prevention:

  • Self-referrals are strictly prohibited. A student cannot refer themselves or use another person’s details to claim benefits.
  • Referrals must be genuine. If ITS determines that a referral was made through misleading, coerced, or fraudulent means, all rewards will be revoked, and the individuals involved may be subject to disciplinary action.
  • If a referred student withdraws, drops out, or is terminated for any administrative reason, the referral fee will not be paid.
