Seniors who have not yet placed an order for their grad pic (e.g. those who had their pictures taken at the second round of pictorials) may get their FIAT ORDER FORM from Ma'am Cheng's pigeonhole at the Bio unit.

 

All seniors are required to join the year-ender orientation on March 2, 1045h at the ASTB Exhibit Hall.  The camping will be discussed, as well as alternatives for non-attendance to such.  Attending the orientation is important to understand the procedures for clearance for CAT.
 
Thanks!
