Hats Off!
I don't know about other universities, but in UM and UKM, when graduates collect their graduation robe and graduation package, they are given a large paper bag to dump all the stuff into. However, this is not the case at UPM where SK collected her graduation robe the other day. The robe collection went on smoothly, but the graduation package collection was messy due to the fact that university included a whole online survey into the process.

Adakah anda akan melanjutkan pengajian anda di UPM?
Graduates were required to fill in an online form and print out a verification slip as proof of form completion before collecting the graduation package. Some did not fill in the survey. Some did not print out the verification slip. And for those that actually printed it out, they still wanted to manually verify it. You can imagine the chaos. But I digress. Back to the whole paper bag deal. Even though you've paid $200 for the graduation package, it does not include the paper bag. This sign says it all:
$5 aje
Graduates were obediently lining up and parting with their money. The stares that I got when I remarked the stupidity of it all...
What kind of stupid system is this?! All lining up to buy the stupid bag?!
Oh well, it's not my Uni. Heh.

3 years down the road and I'm still not receiving any emails or letters from them to inform me of the alumni thingy. All graduates are automatically made members of the alumni, they said. Heh.

An improvement indeed. Marketing survey, aiyeh. Yeah, all graduates are automatically enrolled as alumni. They give out the membership card in the gradution package.

I don't remember any alumni membership card and other crap like that. None given to me.
Oh yeah, they had paper bags, but they were for sale during robe collection. Can't remember if it was RM2 or RM5 each.
You're not the first to say that. :P
@Venge:
