The discussions in this thread makes me miss Uniten..my classmates..those nice lecturers..the environment. I can’t wait to see my classmates for the coming convokesyen which is on August!!
To all those new student, hope you enjoy the orientation. I did enjoy mine and even influenced me to become the fasilitator twice.
Btw, I’m IT graduates. If you have any questions on those lecturers and subjects regarding IT..feel free to ask me 

p/s Wow..the apartment fees are bloody expensive..those MPP must be sleeping a lot.

Timeslot is given specific times for you to register for example like your timetable and apartment application. You will know your timeslot when you log in to your own student page. You will find out more about it during the orientation because there will be one section for those IT student to register Co-curriculum subject.

Bout the lecturer, it depends. Different lecturers have different personalities. Maybe when you receive your timetable, you can share with me those lecturers name. I’m able to tell you more about them if they have teach me before.

Just like what dlwl said, don’t worry too much. Just go by the flow
Just raise your problem to those facilitator during the orientation..they will definitely able to help you

You are compulsory to stay at the hostel during the orientation but you may choose not to continue stay in hostel after the orientation ended. Actually its quite fun to stay in the hostel as long as you got the nice roommate and housemates. If you are lucky enough to get housemates who are doing the same course as you, you guys can help each other..

Timetable already preset during your first year degree but if you are not satisfied you can change it but depend on your luck

If you are really active in SIFE, you even have the chance to join SIFE trip to overseas for some related event..if I'm not mistaken it was sponsored by TNB.

Yup..ada..breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper

1. Yup, 5 days orientation..Normally it will end on Friday evening. Nop. You can't skip the orientation and you don't even have the chance to skip it. The fasilitator will track you down since they have your phone number and he/she will know which apartment that you are staying in.

2. There will be one section during the orientation where you will be teach on online registration for subject. At that time, you will print out your timetable at the end of the section.

Yup. The timetable ady fix for you. Not by the lecturers but people from the Academic Department.

I need to add something here..For girls, you can wear skirt on Monday..but below the knees.
COIT lecturers are very strict in your attire especially for guys. Guys compulsory to wear tie and ID on Monday. You are not allowed to enter the library if you are not wearing tie on Monday as well.

Gently reminder for those girls especially non-muslims, please do not wear shorts to the Accommodation office. You will definitely chased out by them.

To sweeneyT, I'm an ex-fasi for orientation but I didn't handle those transfer credit student's. But so far there is no prob between fasi n those students. If I'm not mistaken, for transfer credit student you will have less session in orientation. Hope you will enjoy the orientation

Imagine those fasi who even slept late than the students and wake early just to wake u all up. That was the tiring part of all. Anyway, there will be fasi stand by the whole night in case of emergency.

Ya..u r compulsary to wear tudung during the orientation and if I'm not mistaken only white and black tudung r allowed..

kosea01 : During my past experience as ex-fasi for twice in orientation. All Muslim girl's must wear tudung during orientation and if you did not bring you have to find it n borrow from any of your friend or your housemate. As what skinnydude better being safe than sorry.

skinnydude : I'm she not he ya..

Ur welcome..I'm an IT student.
Thanks..but I still prefer being a student. As what he-sham said, I miss going for movie on weekdays n hang out with friend's..Some more its even hard to meet your ex-classmates after all of us start working..

Yup. I took Information System as my major. You only have two choice if you are from Foundation IT..is either Information System and Graphics while Computer Science will be either Systems & Networking or Software Engineering.

I'm not sure whether there is Wi-Fi connection in Pahang campus but If I'm not mistake there is internet connection via LAN. My sis was a graduates (2 years ago) from Pahang Campus.
There is loan if I'm not mistaken. There will be one session during the orientation regarding loan. So you have to be alert with it.

Your welcome. Btw, there is internet in Pahang campus. Dun worry if there is no entertainment, my sis used to tell me that Pahang campus had a lot of club activities during weekend. Usually they will go to the Kuantan Parade for movie which is like an hour journey.

My sis was a Finance student but she graduated last 2 years. She's the first batch of Pahang campus. U guys r consider very2 lucky. During my sis time, their lectures n accommodation was in the same building and they even have to share the Dewan which is the Dewan Orang Ramai at that time. There is even student's who cried during the 1st day of registration because of the worst condition. Later on left because could not take it..But now what we have in Bangi campus is equivalent in Pahang Campus and even I heard the MPH in Pahang much bigger than Bangi's

Pantai Teluk Cempedak..and also Cherating Beach

Hi there! As my past experience, Muslim girls hv to wear tudung during orientation. So to be safe, just bring it

I'll try my best to answer ur questions on Foundation IT course. I hope it still can be applied to u all since my Foundation year was 4 years back..

For your first semester, based on the reference from the uniten website..Foundation in Information Technology will be taking these following subjects:

1. Computer Literacy
- From the name you can guess..is all about basic about computer..like history of computers, what r computer consist of..theory subject but there is lab session for it where u guys will be taught on Visual Basic Programming.

2. Modern Applied Maths
- A little bit advance of secondary school Maths. If you like Maths, there should b no prob.

3. Introduction to Malaysian Constitution
- In Malay it is called Perlembagaan Malaysia which is Malaysia Law. Not a favourite subject for everyone coz too theoretical. U need to memorize a lot of Articles.

4. Academic Study Skills
- Bout this subject..I'm not sure how to explain it n I dun really remember bout this subject..Maybe any of thread member could help..

5. Co-Curriculum
- You guys can choose one co-curriculum from Swimming, Kayaking, Golf, Aerobics and Horse Riding.

6. English
- English subject. Grammar, Essay writing n etc

Basically is all depend to individual to get good grades. My advises will be:
1. pay attention during the lectures. take down the notes especially if the lecturer keep repeating the same point..it might come out for the exam.
2. come for every classes bcoz certain subject attendance is included as carry marks. For me 5% is still important
3. do your best for in-class assignment n lab assignment.
4. take ur own initiative to meet the lecturer if u hv trouble in that particular subject. *it depends on certain lecturer
5. go to the library n photostat past year/semester exam question coz some of the lecturers love to repeat the questions. *Side back is it doesn't provide answers

I hope with this advises it will help u guys/girls to get good grades It is very important to maintain your cgpa 3 and above. It is crucial to get a good start from Foundation itself, do not listen to them that Foundation is a honeymoon year. I've seen a lot of friends who repeated Foundation course and some even could not continue for Degree because could not meet the minimum requirement.

Gosh..I miss intranet websites the most..You can get the latest drama/song/video from those websites..
Uniten girl's clothing looks HOT?? R u sure? I've never really see such outfit in Uniten b4.

Yup. Baju kurung is a formal attire

not necessary to wear tudung on the registration day but u hv to wear formal attire if i'm not mistaken

yup..the fasi inform u all during the 1st day itself..

actually it is possible to stay 2gether..just that u hv to queue 2gether during the registration in admin and ask them u wan to stay with the person behind u..u can try ur luck coz the registration for apartment is first come, first served basis
