Resit Guidelines

A resit provides students with another opportunity to attempt an exam or assessment where students did not pass initially. Student who is required to resit for any particular module(s) will be indicated in the APSpace web result page. Below are the general guidelines for resits:

1. Registration Process: Students with failed modules will be automatically registered for the next available resit examination(s) and referral in-course(s). It is mandatory for students to participate in the scheduled referral assessment(s).

2. Assessment Location and Rescheduling: All assessments will be conducted physically at the designated Exam Hall on Campus. Rescheduling of assessments will not be permitted. Students are expected to complete all pending modules upon programme completion.

3. Failure to Attempt: If students fail to attempt the resit, they will fail the re-assessment with a grade point of zero for the component.

4. Result Grade : The resit/redo result grade will be capped at a maximum of 50%, which is a pass grade.

5. Consequences of Failing the Resit: If students fail a module even after attempting all available resit opportunities to improve and cannot get a pass grade through compensation, the module is considered a fail grade.

For further information on resit regulations, kindly refer to the General Regulation HERE.

Exceptional Circumstances:

Students with exceptional circumstances may request to take exams remotely

off-campus, subject to approval such as:

1. Students who have completed their programme and have gone back to their home country such as students in the Foundation programme;

2. Students with no valid visa to enter Malaysia;

3. Students have left Malaysia but not able to renew visa;

4. Family emergencies or crisis;

5. Medical emergencies requiring immediate departure from Malaysia; and

6. Documented personal crisis or exceptional circumstances beyond the student’s control.

Students must provide appropriate documentation supporting their request.  The Programme Leader will bring forth the students' request to the Head of School (HOS) for discussion and approval. For more details, please refer HERE.

Upon approval, there will be a fee applicable for such arrangement. For more details on the fees, please refer HERE.
