DOCUMENTATION FORMAT

Only one file should be uploaded for each type of documents. (e.g, all pages of academic transcript must be uploaded together as a single PDF file). To do this, you are recommended to combine and compress all related documents using any available software/program not exceeding 2MB per file. All original documents that are not in English or Malay language must be officially translated to English Language and uploaded together with the original in one PDF file. Only submit documents that are required for your application to avoid unnecessary delays in processing application. A check of the authenticity of your documents will be done upon your arrival at UPM. If the documents are found to be falsified, the university has the right to terminate your study regardless of your semester.   Note: The submission of fraudulent documents is illegal and will be reported to the appropriate authorities. By applying to the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), you agree to allow UPM to verify the authenticity of your documentation. UPM maintains the right to contact any government bodies, agencies, institutions, or associations in order to verify your documentation.
