Dear Sir/Madam, 

Referring to the internal circulation by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic and International) on 20th April 2020 regarding the students’ approval to postpone their Second Semester 2019/2020 during the Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18th March to 30th April 2020. The School of Graduate Studies would like to inform that this postponement is not mandatory/compulsory, but students may choose to continue or postpone their studies based on the current situation. This postponement process can be done through the portal by completing the GS07 form before 30th April 2020. The postponement approval is subject to support of the supervisor and the Faculty/Institute based on the justification given by the student.

Therefore, students are to take note of the following before they consider to postpone their studies in the following situations: -

1.    If the application is approved, ‘Defer’ status is considered as inactive. Therefore, all facilities are inaccessible including student’s email and students will not be permitted to attend any classes including virtual lectures;

2. International students who wish to postpone their studies are advised to return to their respective countries and must cancel their student visa by submitting the scanned copy of EXIT STAMP to visapass@upm.edu.my, together with their personal information they have safely arrived in their respective countries for i-PUTRA to process their student pass cancellation. International students need to understand that they must apply for a new VAL before returning to Malaysia. Failure to comply with this rule will have implications on their student visa renewal;

3.    A student who is a recipient of UPM scholarship such as GRF, GRA or SGRA must return all the allowance received from February to March 2020. Other scholarship recipients must obtain an approval from their sponsors;

4.    Any students who have postponed their studies two (2) times in the previous semesters are eligible to postpone this semester;
   
   5.  During the postponement period, students are not allowed to take the Comprehensive Examination (CE) or submit their thesis. Comprehensive examination (CE) or thesis submission can only be done on the First Semester of 2020/2021 after the status is back to active;

6. All courses that have been registered this semester will be automatically dropped if the postponement is approved.

 
Thank you.
