However, since the enrollment is up from last year and the registration procedures are more complex, the Department of International Affairs specially chose 7 foreign secretaries and 10 student volunteers from the Students' International Communication Association (SICA) to assist the regular staff from the International Education College.
During the enrollment process, the International Education College prepared lessons, the placement test and text books for these new overseas students with meticulous care.
