COVID-19 updates

• You must not come to campus. If you try to come to campus you will be denied entry.
• We are taking action to preserve critical infrastructure and research assets.
• Given the current situation with COVID-19 it is essential that you take maximum precautions during this time.

After careful consideration, we have decided the following in relation to Semester 2, 2021:

• We will commence Semester 2 fully online. The timetable for Semester 2 will be made available to you on 6 July 2021.
• Semester 2 will begin with a virtual orientation for new students commencing on 19 July and classes for new and returning students from 26 July.
• We will resume on-campus activities when it is safe to do so and in accordance with advice received from the Government. Any reactivation of on-campus activities during the semester will be done in a phased and controlled manner considering the SOPs that will need to be in place.
• Some of you may be worried about how you are going to complete laboratory-based or practical activities. We understand your concerns. 
  • In units where these activities are essential, we will organise on-campus catch up activities when it is safe to do so. This may be during Semester 2, or it may be after the semester has ended.
  • Students in these units will receive information about these activities from their unit coordinators.
  • Alternative arrangements will be made for students in these units who cannot attend these essential on-campus activities (for example, students who are overseas and who are not able to return to Malaysia).

International students

Many of you will be considering if you should travel to Malaysia for Semester 2. This is entirely your decision based on travel conditions and your personal circumstances. We will support your education whether you stay in your home country or come to Malaysia.

• If you stay in your home country, we will continue to provide you with a fully online learning option for the whole semester. If there are essential on-campus activities required for your units, we will make arrangements for these at a later date.
• If you come to Malaysia it is very likely that you will still be studying online. You will be able to access on-campus activities, if they are offered for your units, when it is safe for us to start providing those activities and as advised by the Government of Malaysia.

Information provided by the Malaysian government on Student Pass and travel requirements is available here.

We have set up an interactive virtual student hub that is dedicated to providing you with the right contacts and support from 9 am - 5 pm on weekdays (except public holidays). For emergency support after hours, please call +6019 272 5859.
