Hey,

@ Sarah0925, if U had check the canadian thread, I had posted the ACCA exemptions link, U can use that to check. Don't have to ask around.
exemptions also vary depending on how well U do.
I had 2 frens grad same yr in Accounting. 1 1st class, another 2:1. the later didn't get the full exemptions. 1 paper didn't get exempted.

I did the foundation engineering 2 years ago. English is a compulsory course and also its the few with compulsory attendance in order to pass, if your teacher is Ms. Ruth, she'll mock people who think their English is too good for this course.
In this course, you'll learn how to write university style reports, do proper presentation and learn that not everything in the course material will be taught in lectures and class but in further reading (ie your own research or reading the text book during spare times).
Its pretty much the only real useful class, in the entire Foundation year since everything you'll learn will be used from Yr1 until probably retirement from a Desk Job.
The rest of the courses in foundation are either forgotten about or completely retaught in only the first 3 weeks of yr1.

So no, there's no exemption for courses.I closest thing to it, is to skip lectures as most courses have voluntary attendance (unless your visa/scholarship/loan states otherwise), and make sure passed your lab reports, mini test, monthly exam and semester exam.

Also the only courses besides English that have compulsory attendance I recall are Lab Skills, the one involving web-design and html. Math is sort of compulsory because test are conducted during the lectures.

Hope that helps

I have a question here.Is taxi able to enter the uni compound / on-campus area ?

Lol I mean if I am taking a taxi from the airport

Thank you "malaiseazn" for ur great response. Really appreciate it :-)

I had one more question regarding Foundation. When someone passes Foundation (Engineering) do they automatically get admission in Undergrad, if yes then are there some restriction on which field you can choose.

What is the requirement to pass Foundation (Engineering)

Thanks,

We're getting closer and closer to the start of the semester.

Anyone taking up a postgraduate course in the business school?

firstly.. i dont qualify myself as a senior.. hahaa..

for the first time.. i paid through banking in.. they have the bank in details for u in the accommodation form..

the half month rental thing.. i think u have to call pioneer itself.. and the payment for the first time includes the deposit. the payment varies with the type of room..

and yeap.. starting from september.. the rental will be increased by rm25... aikz.. i hate that too.. but no choice..

You can always take CPA as your professional qualification.

i made my application later than you, which is on 1st sept. i have received accommodation for on campus the next day, 2nd sept. fast huh? i was surprised; first time i applied it took them 2 months to give answer until i missed the dateline to pay already. this is the 2nd time i apply for accommodation and have securely booked for it. phew~! dunno la these office people.. =/

I think they give priority to female for the on campus accommodation.

A quick question....has anyone seen Pangkor Hall room no.I4C48.
That the room they assigned me.
Any information regarding this room will be a great help.
Thanks,

Yours is a single room?Hmm..Shared ensuite?Share a bathroom with another guy who is also staying in another single room..I think so..

umm....it says "single unit attached bathroom with air condition at the rate of RM 625.00 per month"

Oh..Hmm..This one slightly smaller than the one I described,cause it's totally single.You are not sharing with anyone on anything.You get a single room with attached bathroom,unlike what I described earlier.Ya.Really raise in price ald.

Yup, rental has an increase of RM25 per month effective from Sept 09.
Wonder who is willing to pay RM410 for a twin share now...
LOL..
That's expensive!

@@..then my single room costs about RM 465 per month.Wow..Using this amount of money can rent a whole house at BSS.Wondering what the management is thinking.Really gain a lot of profit from us.Wonder got any way to earn $$ at school?
