Exploring CAT Arrangement in SY Admission
The goal of the seminar is to promote practical approaches of Credit Accumulation and Transfer (CAT) Arrangement in Senior Year (SY) Admission, including implementing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreements from the institutional level and articulation principles from programme level to daily practices. Additionally, the seminar aims to highlight the importance of improving transparency of the articulation information between sending and receiving programmes to the students who are the key stakeholders. This transparency will enable them to make more informed choices.

In addition to exploring the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as a solution proposed during the seminar, this workshop aims to delve deeper into the challenges encountered by both sending and receiving institutions. Through group discussions, our goal is to identify these obstacles, uncover potential solutions, and formulate implementable strategies at the program level. This collaborative effort seeks to enhance understanding and pave the way for more effective and streamlined processes between institutions.
