It can't be. Students are required to reprint the new WPP offer letter and ensure that the Identity Card Number/ Warrant Number information is complete.
12. If the student's fingerprint fails to be scanned, can the WPP be cashed?
Yes, but students need to include other supporting documents such as a driving license, birth certificate, or offer letter to the IPT

Yes. Students are required to pay the WPP first and then fill in the deposit form to the savings account.
