On that occasion, the Rector said that UNAIR wanted to provide information about the registration and regulation to enroll at UNAIR .
“We want to give the best information, especially to the headmasters. Because one of the factors for the success of the graduates is not only about the value alone, but also the position of the competition of each study program, “said Rector.
Thus, the Rector continued, high school graduates should not make a wrong choice. By providing information on UNAIR admission and the mechanism, high school graduates can get the appropriate higher education in UNAIR.
The professor of Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) said unequivocally that UNAIR would not be pleased if it only became a stepping stone. If it is accepted at UNAIR and they do not re-register because they are accepted elsewhere, then the student’s school will get index reductions.
“They have to choose. If anyone retreats, the student not only harm the institution, but also harm their friends who should be accepted, “said Rector.
The sanction, continued the rector, was to ensure that the registration of students have been thought through. Thus, enrolling universities especially in UNAIR is not for trial and error. “Schools should se serious. It should be thought through, “he continued.

“Previously FKH accepted up to 270 students, (but it will be reduced, ed) to 250. We also reduced Management studies, from 280 into 250 students. We reduce it because it adjusts the capacity, both laboratory, classrooms, and lecturers, “he explained.
