Quality Standards 3.1 Student Admissions
Quality Standards Type Input
Description
A basic factor in the successful operation of a program of studies is the qualifications of students who are admitted into the program. Each curriculum has a philosophical concept in designing, and it is essential that student qualifications be set forth that are consistent with the nature of the curriculum. Student selection criteria must be transparent, clear, and in harmony with student qualifications specified in the curriculum. Tools, data, or methods are used to select students who are intellectually, physically, and emotionally ready and determined to learn, and who have adequate time to successfully complete the program of studies within the timeframe specified in the curriculum.
When reporting operations for this indicator, describe processes or show operational results covering at least the following issues:
3.1.1 Student admissions
3.1.2 Readiness Preparation before Study Commences
Assessment criteria
Assessment to determine the quality level consider the overall picture of the operations in 2 areas; student admissions and readiness preparation before study commences which will increase their readiness for studying in curriculum. Assessment level is a score between 0-5 as follows
| 0 |
– No system – No mechanism – No concept of overseeing, tracking, and improving – No information or evidence |
| 1 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – System and mechanisms are not put into practice, implemented |
| 2 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – The system and mechanisms are put into practice, implemented – The process is assessed – There are no improvement/developments integrated into the process |
| 3 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – The system and mechanisms are put into practice, implemented – The process is assessed – There are improvement/ developments integrated into the process from assessment results |
| 4 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – The system and mechanisms are put into practice, implemented – The process is assessed – There are improvement/ developments integrated into the process from assessment results – There are concrete results from the improvements that can be clearly seen |
| 5 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – The system and mechanisms are put into practice, implemented – The process is assessed – There are improvement/developments integrated into the process from assessment results – There are concrete results from the improvements that can be clearly seen – There are good practice with support evidence, assessment committee can clearly explain why these are good practice |

3.1.1 Student Admissions
3.1 System mechanism of Student admissions and readiness preparation before study commence

- The curriculum or program in cooperations with the faculty and the college proceed the announcement of student applications.
- The curriculum or programexamines students’ qualifications.
- The curriculum or programselects students.
- The curriculum or program announcesselected students.
- The curriculum or program evaluates student admissions procedures and analyze the problems and set up improvements to ensure the number of students in accordance with the TQF 2.
- Students report and register to be college student.
- The curriculum or programset up meeting to determine students readiness preparation programs before study commence in academic or major of study areasand Intensive English courses.
- The curriculum or program informs students to attend readiness preparation programs.
- Students attend those courses.
- The curriculum or program assess readiness preparation programsand students achievement.
- The curriculum or programassess readiness preparation programsand students achievement and analyze the problems and set up improvementsfor the next academic year to achieve the goals.
Improvement Process
The BEd- Science program had a decrease in enrolment. Only one student was admitted. This is evidence that the system of recruitment is not effective,
The program lecturers met to assess the situation and had suggested to the dean the following in addition to the regular process:
- inclusion of students in the recruitment
- inviting alumni to talk about their experience in the college,and
- enjoining lecturer to do career guidance among senior high school students.
Results and Assessment
The process was not yet enough to encourage enrollees into the program. The inclusion of lecturers, students, and alumni was limited due to the workload and lack of time.
Suggestions for AY 2022
The lecturer chosen to join the recruitment team should be given more time to be able to join the recruitment team and invite more
