Something I want to ask the Sunway students:
You know we have to pay the annual fees to the college (including library and computer lab fees) and I believe we paid a deposit for this as well (please confirm this with me).Is it true that we can claim these payments back from the college after we complete the course?I'm growing more disinterested in studying at Sunway due to the expensive fees, student-unfriendly policy to deferment, very long hours, parking etc.

I'm torn between taking P7 at Sunway and KSA.Sunway mainly to pay the annual fee to keep my membership active and Mr. Goh is an ok lecturer (though his lectures tend to make me sleepy).
KSA because Jackson seems to be good at this and I get the option to only pay for the sessions up to the week the results are out.

The dilemma is that I'm worried for my results for the last sitting, if I didn't do well I'll have to defer P7 to the next sitting to avoid taking 4 papers.At Sunway I'll have to pay the whole RM1000+ upfront and if I can't take it this sem after the results the whole payment is sunk and the most I can get is 50% off for next sitting.And after this paper I'll probably not take anything at Sunway anymore.So if I'm not continuing at Sunway anymore do I have to officially apply to the college or just not do anything?

Thanks for the advice guys.I'm more inclined to go to KSA as it is the next most convenient place to go from my home via KTM.I'll take the first term course and see how it goes.Another thing, for P3 that I have never attempted I'm planning to mainly rely on the Michael Mainwaring revision course.That means I won't be attending normal classes, I did attend the P3 course till halfway from Sunway before though so I have the notes.I have friends who say they just depended on what they learn from that revision course to pass.Do you think its too dangerous to go on with this plan?

Perhaps you're right.However I don't think I'll want to go for 2 revision courses for the same paper especially since I hear Mainwaring's sessions will be for 6 days.I'll also give this a try and see how it goes.Thanks

Thank you so much for the explanation, the last payment I made was indeed for January 2007.So it is unlikely for me to get back my deposit unless I pay for this year's annual fees, which is silly if I'm not planning to come back anymore and it costs more than the deposit.The library deposit is about over RM100 isn't it?Quite a troublesome process, I'll find time to contact the Finance department.Thank you again

It may help a little bit but don't expect it to make that much of a difference from being a full time student.This is because the exam scenarios, especially at professional level assume that you are in a senior and strategic position of a firm so it has little relevance to you if you are only a junior auditor or somewhere at the operational level.

Added on August 16, 2008, 6:13 pmNo difference really.I register online, they are just options for whichever you are more comfortable with.There are people who are afraid of paying online and there are also people who find it inconvenient to submit by mail.By paying online you can afford to register later because it is instantaneous and also you get instant confirmation of your payment.If you register online, you don't need the form

I doubt that....or else I should have passed already
Btw are you sure that P2 has major changes in syllabus?I don't really want to go back to attend the classes again....

shucks, I guess I've no choice.Back to the grindhouse then
