Student Involvement and Activities

Students at ACT evolve in an environment with a mixture of experiences from diverse aspects of life. We will not only nurture academically but also instill in you a sense of responsibility and dedication through clubs and organizations, athletic competitions, and culture arts. You can simply choose from joining clubs and societies, getting involved in sports competitions, participating in a department quiz bowl, visiting the Arts Exhibits, studying at the library, or just sitting under the trees and chatting with friends in between lectures.

Our college hosts many annual events that are held in commemoration of significant milestones and that add charm and sense of community to everyone. Co-curricular activities ensure that you are appropriately assisted in your learning. Workshops, seminars, exhibitions, guest lectures, short courses, and field visits supporting coursework give you the opportunity to exhibit your skills through projects and other assignments. Academic departments host, each term, one or two exhibits of student projects where they can showcase their knowledge, creativity, and interpersonal skills.

The Academic year begins with the Induction Program for first year students giving them insights on the realities of academic pursuit. Throughout the year, events such as National Day Celebration, Job Fair, Exhibits and Cultural Shows bring members of the campus and area communities together.

The Graduation ceremony is made formal and special before the audience of parents, administrators, and guests.

As you are officially our student currently enrolled in one of our programs, we aim to provide you the best support, prompt assistance, and all necessary information as you complete your academic journey.

Food and Dining Services

The students of UTAS-A are provided with a cafeteria whose aim is to provide affordable and healthy food. Before providing cafeteria service, a qualified concessionaire has to be chosen from a group of applicants. The Cafeteria Policy sets a guide in the selection of cafeteria providers and the renewal of their services while the Meals and Refreshments Requisition form is filled up for the provision of meals during school-related activities.

Students, faculty and staff often converge for meals and snack in the two college cafeterias located at the ground floor of the Administration Building and the other in the ELC building. There is a separate section exclusive for staff use.

Athletics and Fitness

Staying fit and healthy is one of the objectives for our students especially the males. They love to play sports or join the different levels of competitions.

The college supports the desire of our students to organize their own sport or fitness activities. The Student Affairs Office, with fully-qualified staff, can also assist in implementing comprehensive programs for sport and fitness.

The soccer field, basketball court, and badminton court are readily available for these competitions. But if you simply want to go brisk walking or jogging, the whole campus is ideal.

Some sport-related fixtures and facilities can be found in our College Facilities section.
