Referral Assessment (Effective 1st October 2024)

Failing a resit exam or not attending a scheduled referral may delay your graduation, affect your academic progress, and lead to complications with your studentship. For international students, missing a resit may result in visa-related issues.

If you are required to refer any module(s), this information will be indicated on your APSpace web result page.

For more information about Extenuating Circumstances (EC) and how to apply, please refer to the official EC policy on the APSpace platform.

If your no-show or non-submission was not due to EC, and you wish to appeal for consideration, you must submit an appeal to the University Appeals Committee (UAC).

Yes, you can still submit an appeal even without a valid reason like a medical issue, but your chances of approval may be lower. Each appeal is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, so you may still have a chance depending on the supporting document that you submit with your appeal.

Appeal fee of RM50.00 is still required to be made after appeal is submitted. For instalment payment arrangement, please consult bursary@apu.edu.my for consideration.
