As the new year approaches, university academic
face-to-face classes have resumed. Everyone is anxious, but let us put our worry
aside and think how we can help our students develop holistically at university
when it is time for them to meet their classmates and lecturers for teaching
and learning activities in campus.
The Centre for Pre-University Studies hosted a briefing
session for the January 2022 intake on January 3rd. Madam Masitah binti Mat,
Assistant Director of the Centre for Pre-University Studies, gave a warm
welcome to the students. This briefing session was held to clarify any
questions that students may have had, as well as to encourage them to be
excited about the beginning of university life and the independence that comes
with it.
The faculty briefing was led by Dr Naimah binti Haron to
give an insight into the Foundation programme and introduce students to the university
services which will support their educational and personal goals. Dr Naimah extended
a warm welcome to FIS and FIB students from the January 2022 intake to the
Pre-U Family. The students were also given the opportunity to take a campus tour
so that they could become familiar with the campus.
The new students also learnt how to register for their
first semester of classes, the usage of LMS, rules in examination, and got a
briefing about the laboratories. Not only that, they also got the chance to
learn about helpful resources such as counselling and financial aid, which is meant
to help them in university life. The briefing session ended with a photo
session.
