So I decided to create a UCSI thread (with permission from darkages) where whatever questions from people wanting to study here can come forward and more importantly, for students of UCSI to really discuss about the college.

UCSI's website

Hey, Venice, what course are you taking? I am in Accounting and Finance Year 1 and I am having to work 65 hours as part of my requirements as well.

@ HELP practices this 'child labor' policy as well

And for the record, what lilredridinghood has said is QFT.

I'll have more info posted up in the first post after this Friday Do keep a lookout

Which department you are working in again? Perhaps I could have bumped into you and not know you. I'm in either Finance or Marketing department.

To your add-on and the other guy, you won't get kicked out because you made a mistake. You are only human. Heck, you can even drag the work onto the next semester and get away. I have done that many-a-time. Why?! I would like to concentrate on my life and studies during the semester especially if I am taking 5 subjects and then work at UCSI during the holidays where we won't have to compete for work, if you know what I mean. But now that I have told you this, don't tell anyone else

You will have to call the college out. Sorry I can't help you much. Number's available at the website.

BTW does anyone find it annoying that the college has these RUDE security guards asking students for their IDs? I'm writing a letter to Mr. Kit about this.

Library closes at 7 or 8. Yes, unfortunately but you can't expect people NOT to go home. Yes, scholarship students will have to work but AFAIK, it's not only UCSI who has this policy. You might want to check on this with other colleges. I do feel short handed as I thought scholarships were GIVEN and not in exchange for your work but look on the bright side, you'd have working experience that would be listed in a certificate that could count in your ceevee (well at least according to the Student Affairs people lah).

As for Acc and Finance, what do you mean quality? It's hard for me to judge as I haven't been to other colleges but I wish I could find a better one lah though I can't afford a pricier *cough* better*cough* college.

I can't answer 1 - 4 but for 5), most people choose to live in the Hostel for one semester to familiarize with the surroundings and gather 3 to 4 friends in the Hostel to then RENT an appartment in Angkasa condominiums nearby where the shared rental is much cheaper than what you pay for the Hostel.

Lab work is very repetitive and unless you are a student in the school (engineering or SASA), I don't really recommend it. Helping your own school has its quirks lah - you get to make friends with your lecturers and help them with stuff. In turn, should you have any queries or difficulties, you know lah.

Yes, upgrading to University level, hence the influx of new lecturers and bigger departments and separation of classes from Diploma and Degree level. Yes, I can still blame them because they should learn how to be courteous instead of shouting "Huey, ID?!" Imagine if a parent or visitor were on the receiving end of that? And you telling me that UCSI should only bother about the security once it reaches University level?!

Off topic: Going to the scholarship meeting this Monday?! If so, can meet you there

Sigh, ever taken the Student Tutor thingie? Want to take it up? We can work 35 hours only! Only thing is that I worry that no one will pick us then we'll have that many hours to work in the future!

So, want to meet up? And boardroom Block A?

1. No comment.

2. Books? You'd need to take the UCSI shuttle to get to the library which is located in a different block from the main building. Faculty of Engineering has shifted to the new wing (whatever it's called - North Wing, I believe). It's the old FIT building.

3. Like a construction site?

From foundation to degree for your first sem, yes you do need to go to record office and ask the staff there to assist you.

Add: I noticed that you missed Orientation so yes you need to go to records office (first floor Block A) for assistance as well be it for Foundation first time or Foundation to Degree first time.

Add 2: Celaka, 1 subject results not out yet.

That would depend on what subjects you're taking?

To the old timers, any word on any Awards Day?

EDIT: Anyone taking a course in Accouting and Finance or Computing? Kindly let me know, thx.

There are three types of awards that students are eligible for but unless you score 75 above and have a good co curricular record in UCSI , don't expect to get the awards.

However, for top achievers, there's also the Dean List - only thing NO CASH PRIZE.

A certificate

Would be very helpful in getting you a better Co-Op job

Next intake is January
Non co-op break is December
Co-op break is November

LOL - took nothing during short sem?

BTW, anyone received their invites for Awards Day? I received mine but have no idea what I won They don't state it in the letter. Have to call them to ask.

Yeap, saw it just now. The list is outside each respective faculty's notice board and you'd have to get the acceptance slip from the faculty's clerk.

BTW guys, any LYN-ians else going there? let's meet up.

Anyone doing a degree in programming/computing? Please message me here. Thanks. Have some queries

if you think that way, feel free to use your own printer but don't stop us from trying to get the most out of every sen spent by our parents.

This is not UCSI kopitiam.

Kindly refrain from such posts before the thread is shut down.

Chloe, are you an IT student? Can help me with something on my assignments?

Yes, I know. Major suckage - University status gives them the right to increase fees.

You "C" Shit Inside

Yes, Year 1 subjects aren't counted in the CGPA. That's rubbish if you ask me. I mean, WTF?! That's killing us. All the As are down the drain because of that

- Geographical reasons
- Already in Year 2
- Girlfriend
- Taking ACCA in the future so doesn't matter where I get the degree from as long as there's exemptions

- Cool. Can ask you assignments next time. Got facebook? PM me if willing to give. Don't worry, not hitting on you.
