Like i said, changing now will prevent the need for you to explain to your lecturers that you changed course and ur name isnt on the name list.

Also, changing earlier is safer coz you can never be 100% sure that the course you want to change to will still be available.

erm if you're in foundation, around sem 3 that time, you can apply for course transfer also, but nid to pay rm100 or 200 i think, non-refunable. they have certain time which you can do course transfer, during foundation years, i think its about 2-3 times, and degree 1st sem can still change course, if im nt mistaken.. but its better 4 u to manage it earlier, coz its wasting money..

I have experience in course transfer. Do it before your course commence. Would be much better. At least you can get into the new course and make new friends. If you join in late, there is chances that you will be isolated out. By the way, I am transfered from Biotech to Biochemistry. And remember, the better your grades, the better your chances in securing a place in another course of your choice.

Yes. Most probably you have to walk into UTAR to do that. Try to mail them and enquire about it. Its still early, considering the new course commence around mid May. And you are trying to change into what course ?

Long time nvr show up here. Juz to increase some info.

You cant direct compare the cost living in Kampar direct to KL area, it is not proportional. A living cost for Kampar shouldn't go so far, only mean the hostel.
I saw every year, student paying extra charges for the following :
Activity and Recreation rm100
Resource Centre RM200
Development RM300
Insurance RM9

Insurance, i agree wif it since nowadays utar don't have time to take care the safety of student around PJ or Setapak, so buy you an insurance, anything happen, still got money for your parents. (Still, Utar think for the student benefit, good thing)

I have asked the office for the reason of others fee. By their explanation is like below:
Activity and Recreation : the 2 ping pong table in PD block, sharing swimming pool facilities wif KTAR, PC block sports area and some others activity held by UTAR around campus area (Does utar held any activity?)

Resource centre : You are using the computer lab and library from our school. wble also need money to operate it as well.

Development : Painting over UTAR, renovation on utar. Lift maintainance, toilet repair, air-cond service. computer lab.

So, Juz my 2cent. are you going to pay rm600 for those unreliable computers in lab? Does UTAR really make any renovation in PJ area?

After that, office direct me to phone over finance department as they can provide better explanation. We cant argue on this fees, since many people and UTAR will be telling you, if you don't want pay, then don't study here lar. So, my aim only explaining some of the weird cases in utar. Not to boycott.

One of utar lecturer (myfren), telling me that, he/she(private confidential) not really know about the resouce and activity fees. but the development fee is a donation for Kampar campus.

A organisation have thousand and millions of excuses to gaining more money. Ya, you does nid to pay for your study. But is it equivalent to what you get?

im currently undergoing communications and networking .. just passed sem 1 ... now waiting for sem2

Information for current utar student or those cosidering UTAR,

other than those MQS and proffesional bodies accreditation thing, there is some other problem you gonna face with after graduation, there is some letters to prove completion of studies/ transcript which UTAR cannot produce within 2 month even 3 month  after final exam paper.

So the fact is gonna face problem if company want the official prove, if u ask utar they will just say ask the company to phone and check with the university, i wonder which company will do that. Another major problem is that graduates will havfe problem when trying to aaplying jobs in overseas, no letter means no visas and working passes/ permits.

believe me this is not bull shit.

Hi guys, I would like to ask any current Kampar UTAR students, what bank is there in Kampar? Or rather, what is the most convenient bank to get to there? Is there a bank in the UTAR campus itself?

Thanks a lot.

the new management is seriously a pain
turning utar into a money making uni

I just realised that the Malaysian Studies and Moral Education subject code in the UTAR timetable for Biochem students is MPW2133 and MPW2153 respectively but the ones I have taken is coded as MPW1133 and MPW1153 (only difference is the number 2 there)

Is there any difference between those two codes or is it the same? Because the subjects are the same.

It's really making me confused. Now I do not know whether I could ask for exemption for this subject or not.

Anyone can help me clarify this matter? Thanks.

TARC KL need to pay but Kampar dont need to?
Yup, ur right. The course code is mostly dependent on the year and semester, its not followed strictly. If you have taken the subject, provided the sylabus is the same, exemptions should be no problem

Lol. I pay everytime I use TARC facilities. I dont see a problem to that. Vandalism is a serious matter, and they have their rights to charge the student, so that they can use the fees to bear the maintenance cost.

can i know...everyone(chinese) in UTAR all talk mandarin??

The language is just introduction. Maybe we will learn the basic only though I wonder why mandarin was not there.

most of the student speaks mandarin. some speak cantonese, english and hokkien.

btw where can i access the syllabus? intranet or wble? can find it on intranet
