New students will be virtually exposed and orientated to the structure and operations of the University, faculty and programme layout.

Rest assured, students will be well-informed of eveything they need to know prior to joining, and even during their time at UCSI.

E-Lab and E-Demo

Lab practical sessions are conducted using live recording of experiments, data sharing, case study discussions, videos and virtual simulations for students to experience, learn and troubleshoot various protocols and lab techniques. While actual physical practical experience is still essential and will be provided eventually, viewing the e-demo still serves its intended purpose.

Counselling services such as individual and group counselling with consultation have been provided actively through online platform such as e-counselling and Microsoft Teams.
