		The HKUST Fact Book which spells out the numbers of students, staff, faculty, programmes and such. It is compiled annually by the Office of Vice-President for Administration & Business. Please click here for the HKUST Fact Book The 2007-2008 Academic Calendar is one of the most comprehensive and important references in relation to admission of students, academic regulations, programmes offered, academic, student and support services on campus, staff list, and many other related topics. The "Important Dates in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 Academic Years" is a piece of information which you may refer to often since it tells you when to register for courses, when to add/drop and when to have exam, etc. The Calendar is prepared by the Office of Academic Programme Administration and updated annually. You can browse it online. Do get yourself acquainted with some of the academic regulations e.g. grading policies, medium of instruction, and course evaluation, which are closely related to your work as TA. Also, consult your lecturer on these issues before you start teaching.
