- Don’t miss the orientation program: For new students, orientation is crucial for understanding the academic structure, support systems, and student life at IMSU.
- Returning students should verify school fees: Double-check the 2024/2025 IMSU school fee schedule to avoid underpaying or missing deadlines.
- Start early with registrations: Procrastination can result in unnecessary penalties. Pay your fees, register your courses, and collect any necessary documents as early as possible.
