@applecyee & IXionI
you might need to pay some more (due to maybe under-charge) but definitely is won't be a big amount. coz 1st semester fee is mostly charge there.
certain course = university subject or elective subject (Pilihan Bebas,PB) or any subject in same faculty but different school (Luar Pusat, LP)
except major subject where you sure get the place, other might need grab yourself. but they do provide you menu to select subject (sometime is compulsory pick the PB/LP where make you no actual freedom in choosing others)

@mosfet83
agree. rm5 from ktm to ukm hostel (where free for taking ukm bus) and rm8 from hentian kajang to ukm and lastly rm15 from kajang to ukm (based on personal experience, may varies)

1st year second sem start you may start elect or nominate someone to be calon..

sport wear? t-shirt they will provide with college t-shirt, but then better bring 1 or 2 more in case not enough.

yes, there is sport during mmp.. but mostly no short pants allowed. i doubt they let also

@yivon tan
mostly, english.. but i dare not to tell exact (worry if any change)

@dhui
regards the wifi termination, no harm at all.. thats actually last time KDO and KTHO is equipped with pelajar-ukm wifi before jaring set their base. but after then, i din receive any signal from pelajar-ukm already. da most i can see is tetamu-ukm where it is from office and jaring-ukm.

i cannot assure you true or false. but i would say majority that not native english speaker might have some problem to converse fluently. for me, yes i can speak, but maybe some pronunciation might not accurate and sometime not that fluent.
but if just simple conversation, i doubt the statement, because we have english course regardless which major you take (as a university subject)

@Michzfern
unless you think your room can have no sand / dust, otherwise you need it. but personally i didn't bring, because i expected roommate will bring XD
cupboard? is up to you then. but if college management see it, just say, "itu orang dulu yang buat" hahaha..

@camoflush
not yet.. at uni level, no ptptn no life

@applecyee
PK should can certified true copy also.
personally i think is borang pengesahan gaji is for those without payslip or the "payslip cannot exposed to light" (if you don't get wat i mean, click spoiler)

@camoflush
use IE, tat time i use firefox also same. IE no prob
@extrio
unfortunately to tell. using BM to study. if you read back, you know why. but anyway, depend lecturer
@IXionI
mamak's or if you willing travel far, i think KL is not a prob by around 20minutes+ drive.
KTMB provide train shuttle from KL to IPOH or else the intercity link then. the cheapest alternative beside bus

if you have car drive, around 20+ minutes can reach KLIA liao.

alternative beside taxi is..
UKM station(ktm) -> Nilai -> take bus go KLIA
UKM station(ktm) -> Bandar Tasik Selatan -> take ERL go KLIA
still UKM station(ktm) -> KL sentral -> SkyBus -> LCCT

by compare time, still drive / taxi the fastest.

about the fee.. let me explain some..
total tuition fee per semester is +-1.2k (depend on college and course), where the total credit hours is counted as a package, for FST student is RM600 regardless how many credit hour you take in 1 sem (where last time 1 credit hour is rm30), and the other surcharge like library, health care, college activities and etc. will make total around 1200 in 1 semester. [edited: sorry, left out the college/hostel room rate also count inside already]

and then, why 1st semester extra? coz of orientation week and some 1-time off surcharge like transportation service..

and by averaging, the whole study in 3 years will cost you around 7k~8k+

hope that clarify you

@alexis17
yes, correct, KKM have higher rate and the facility also so-so only.. summore there will have water supply interruption (truth)
thats at sole discretion of college.. try say with them, should be no problem 1.

if you miss this time, you will not able to submit on 1st agreement collection date, and you will get later. but still, you can apply and submit it later.
if not wrong 1 semester around 3 times

before 15 july to be exact.

ok, ukm first class varies among faculty. but rumours that >3.5 or 3.67 or in between them.
about the final exam result, you are bounded by the criterion that set by the lecturer, where some of them take consider into attendance, class participation, tutorials and assignment, presentation, mid-semester test and lastly main exam..

study in university the main different is you really need to study on your own, where lecturer is there to help you only. if you were expecting they spoon feed you, then your result (you can imagine)
and some subject, the lecturer request you study some topic by yourself with extra reading from library or net.

lastly, the main different (at least for me) is, most of the time your will be work in group and have plenty time for you to do assignment (to train your time management? but if without properly plan, last minutes work = junk)

ok. let say time. one week, on average you will only have around 24 hours classes. - 8 hours per day for sleeping, you still have 88 hours to spend on other stuff. if let say, 20 hours spend on going to study, 10 hours for daily cleansing activities.. and you still have hell lot of time.
do you think is possible to slot 3 hours out to involve in other activities?

a proper time management & financial management is really crucial here regardless what or where you study..

lets say back truth, personally, i will suggest that you join which you are interest, at least you won't be bored in half way. and i don't practicing all the crap i was talking, i do junk work. , although sometime i do follow plan

(little to correct, depend on your course, mostly assignment&presentation will only have a few, and you will be in group generally. and won't like everyday activities, but when multiple work strike you.. then you seriously need to plan it well)

there is a cimb bank located in pusanika. for ATM, have bank islam, CIMB, Maybank, and BSN (inside pusanika) and mostly bank islam in other place. beside this, wisma UNIKEB which is located behind school of language & linguistic have bank rakyat/bank mualamat (i forget already, but either one or both )

f0r the round neck t-shirt, as a senior, i should tell you you cannot leave your room with that.. but you know what i mean

for spm result. why don't you pick the 10 best subject?

@kitqian
any extra charge afterward you can settle with your BIMB ATM card and matrix card at Ground Floor of Chancellery, Treasury Counter hassle free..

@joscmh90
if you found any ragging, pls reported to vice chancellor or deputy vice-chancellor (Student Affairs and Alumni) or any university management to take action
ukm have their circular letter that forbid about ragging
and another source is The Star

the only college not being mention is my college, kkm had being discuss before
if you not going bring laptop, bring desktop also can XD (like me, both laptop and desktop)
and ukm have a quite a number of printing shop as well as cyber cafe, and most printing shop is connected to internet. and you can just simply go print there (normal charge applied)
if you plan to bring laptop, keep it wisely let nobody know you bring it because you also will have no time to use it,like my orientation tat time, i only sleep around 1am/2am but have to wake at 5.30am (is that consider ragging?)

sure jeans is allowed, but except formal occasion
wear casual with long pants should be ok already. since registration is not an activities

different college different room design (although some might be same, just like KDO and KTHO)

thats should be your parents or next-of-kin to sign. with that, you are agree that UKM medical clinic can give you treatment (included but not limited to anesthetic and surgical operation) whenever is urgent and unable to connect with your families. i know quite a few law students, correct me if i use the wrong terms i also want to learn

good luck to all of juniors that attend to UKM.. enjoy yourself in the campus life
again, university is not the place for you to focus only study XD

see you all later in ukm after your orientation weeks. if want have some interactions, pm me and find me.

any lecturer also can sign.
btw, all junior missing d?

happy adventure in ukm..

there will be career fair, i think is 2nd sem like tat gua.. dono

internship placement varies across major and course..
