Abstract—The main purpose of this paper is to examine the college adjustment of international undergraduates in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Three hundred and seventy eight international undergraduates completed the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ). Data were analyzed using Social Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18 for percentages and mean. The finding indicated that the majority of international undergraduates in UTM are moderately adjusted in terms of academic, social, personal emotional adjustment and institutional attachment. The results of this study should help various units to make better strategic plan as to enhance international undergraduates’ adjustment in the institution.

Index Terms—Academic adjustment, international undergraduate, personal-emotional, social adjustment.
