“Kemasukan Terus” bermaksud pelajar yang boleh dipertimbangkan mendapat pengecualian kredit dan diterima masuk ke semester yang bersesuaian berdasarkan kepada kelayakan terdahulu.

“Pengecualian Kredit” (Credit Exemption – CE) merupakan kredit yang diberi pengecualian (Kredit Kecuali) semasa proses permohonan masuk ke sesuatu program pengajian berdasarkan pencapaian dalam kursus berkaitan. Ia merupakan pengecualian kepada sebahagian daripada keperluan kredit untuk pengijazahan yang diberi berdasarkan kelayakan sedia ada (diploma, ijazah atau pengalaman) yang diiktiraf oleh kerajaan.

 

  • Permohonan Pengecualian Kredit hendaklah dibuat kepada fakulti pelajar dan urusan permohonan hendaklah diselesaikan dalam minggu KETIGA (3) semester pertama pengajian.
    • Kursus yang diberikan Kredit Kecuali dan Kredit Pindah hendaklah setara dengan kurikulum program pengajian Universiti dari segi pengiraan beban akademik dan nilai kredit.  Jumlah isi kandungan hendaklah sama atau tidak kurang daripada 80% daripada kandungan kursus berkaitan di Universiti.
    • Bermula tahun 2020, pindahan kredit untuk kelayakan Diploma (Tahap 4, MQF) ke Sarjana Muda (Tahap 6,MQF) secara vertical dengan pindahan maksimum sebanyak 50% daripada jumlah kredit program.
    • Permohonan Pengecualian Kredit dan Perpindahan Kredit hendaklah dibuat dengan menggunakan Borang Perpindahan Kredit Mata Pelajaran UTM.E/3-8.
    • Kelulusan untuk Pengecualian Kredit dan Perpindahan Kredit akan diberi oleh Fakulti yang menawarkan kursus.
    • Bagi pelajar kemasukan terus, tempoh maksimum pengajian ditetapkan oleh fakulti berdasarkan kepada jumlah pengecualian kredit yang diluluskan. Pengiraan tempoh maksimum mengikut jumlah pengecualian kredit seperti berikut:
Jumlah Pengecualian Kredit (CE)Tempoh Maksimum (Semester)
<20(1.5 x tempoh lazim) – 0
20 – 33 (1.5 x tempoh lazim) – 1
34 – 50(1.5 x tempoh lazim) – 2
51 – 60 (1.5 x tempoh lazim) – 3

To apply for exemption, please follow these steps.

STEP 1: Discuss with Ms Marina. Bring along the following documents:

  • your academic transcripts together with the grading system
  • your MUET or other English profiency exam results.
  • evidence of completion i.e. awards and certificates
  • your previous course outline and course details
  • verifiable documentation of previous work experience from your employer/s.

Here are some of the things we look for when reviewing a course outline:

  • Name of institution
  • Number of credits the course is worth
  • A course description
  • Any required pre or co-requisite courses
  • Weekly topics covered (not just course objectives/schedule)
  • Grading criteria: what was graded and how much was it worth
  • How many exams, paper assignments, textbooks or readings are required
  • Textbook(s) used with chapters/sections/topics covered (course content)
  • Information about any reading besides the textbooks
  • Presence of a lab component: what kind of labs and how much does it counts

 

STEP 2: Fill out the Transfer Credit Form. Please use separate form for different school/faculty that offered those courses.

STEP 3: Get Ms Marina’s signature and submit the form to Ms Azmaniza at the Academic Office.

  • A longer period may be needed if a full assessment is required, especially if you are the first student enrolled in SC from your diploma institution.
  • You may check your transfer credit slip in your Student Portal after 2 weeks of submission. If there is any mistake, please immediately inform Ms Azmaniza for correction.
