The Bible of USL.

Every one in USL must buy.

Every one in USL must read.

Every one in USL must digest & know well ( the content ).

It is a MUST for every one who study in USL.

It is the USL " Bible ".

.............Yes, it is the USL Bulletin !

This Bulletin outlines everything that you need to know as a student in USL.

It covers

* A detail description of USL

* The Calender year

* Academic & Admin Affairs

* Courses offered & Faculty listing

* USL Rules & Regulations.

A sample of Calender is as below :

It is actually a detailed schedule of all important events of that particular semester.

Some fo the important dates that we must not miss are :

1. Registration

Registration is the utmost important " process " as it officially register you to that semester.

Since the Registration is so important, the USL admin will normally send out the following

" Gentle Reminder " thru your "love" box to remind you gently the dateline and to ask you to do it early early so as to avoid long long jam......

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""


Of course, as a "normal" student, we will "normally" ignore this kind of gentleness........

The process of registration starts with a long long Q to see your advisor so that he/she can advise you what what subjects to take so as you will not miss any what what subject as stated in the what what "Bible" and so that you can fulfill all what what requirements to qualify for the what what degree you are persueing in USL

After the so tedious long consultation ( sometimes 100 minutes....sometimes even 5 minutes can gao-tim....depending on the "age" of your advisor ) with your advisor, then the next thing very important is......

to pay the fees !

All fees and estimated expenses are given in the " Bible ".....

As you can read from the table, the fees per academic year for non-US resident undergraduate was

US$ 1172.50 in 1982 ie US$ 646.00 ( plus GSTax ) per academic semester.

( Note : what is the fees now ?? 5 times ? 10 times ?? I heard rumours say " off-spring " of USL alumni can get 50% discount....not sure how true it is.....appreciate if any one can verify...... )

So after the x'tra long long Q of paying the fees ( consequences of ignoring the gentle reminder.....), the cashier will give you this slip ........

And about a week later, you will receive the following time table for that semester .....

Once you have received this time-table, that means you have successfully registered for that semester and the registration process ends here.

You are now officially " ON " and "elligible" for the next important BIG move :

...............ready to play truant & SKIP CLASSES !!!!

to be continued.
