The Academic Foundation Department (AFD) at the University of Cambodia (UC) successfully hosted an orientation for all prospective new undergraduate students regarding the UC Foundation Year Program on October 18, 2012, at the UC Conference Center.
A total of 290 (95%) of the prospective 306 students attended. The orientation was led by Dr. Y Ratana (Director of AFD and Dean of the Undergraduate Studies Division), with assistance from AFD staff members. Associate Deans and other members of the faculty and staff were also in attendance.
The orientation provided students with important information about the Foundation Year Program, Code of Conduct, registration procedures, the Entrance Exam, Foundation Year policies, curriculum, and grading policies. It also covered the AFD Strategic Plan, as well as strategies for students to achieve academic excellence.
Students were given tips on how to study effectively and encouraged to work hard in their courses. They were also told to pay attention to AFD and UC policies and announcements. At the end of the three hour morning session, students asked staff members many questions regarding the Entrance Exam, grading requirements, credit transfer, the curriculum, and other issues.
