LATEST UPDATES
Dear Students,
Wishing you best of Year 2021.
Based on the recent circular from the Ministry of Higher Education issued on 31st December 2020, students of private higher education institutions will be permitted to come back to campus from 1st March 2021, in phases. Classes will be held in Hybrid Mode (Online & On-Campus Learning), in order to cater for both students on campus as well as those who are unable to return to Campus. More information on the schedule, guidelines and standard operating procedures for students to return to campus will be issued in due course.
At the same time, the overall situation continues to be volatile and fluid and it is very hard to judge what the future plans may be. We will closely follow announcements and circulars from the Government as and when they are issued, and will keep you informed of further developments in this regard.
Meanwhile, all teaching, learning and assessment will continue to be delivered in purely Online mode until March 2021. Essential services such as visa services, administrative services, accommodation services and bursary services will continue to operate. However, entry to the campus will continue to be restricted and students are required to make an appointment here 24 hours prior to their visit: http://www.apu.edu.my/explore-apu/contact-us.
As you are aware, the number of cases particularly in the Klang Valley and other areas in Malaysia continues to rise and is expected to increase further before improving. As such, please avoid unnecessary travelling, practice good hygiene and take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of infection.
FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS – ENTRY TO MALAYSIA:
The Malaysian Government has also recently announced for new and existing international students to be allowed to apply to come to Malaysia from 1st January 2021. However, we have yet to receive the latest requirements and procedures from EMGS in this regard. As such, please do not make any travel plans until we are in a positon to advise on the latest procedures and the process for your travel authorization and quarantine. All New Students will have to wait for the Visa Approval Letter (VAL) issuance. Our Arrival Control Centre Team will assist you once the details are clear for your arrival.
However, Existing Students with valid student passes (and those who have Visas with student passes having expired after 1st Feb 2020) from unrestricted countries can continue to apply for Travel Authorisation with EMGS, if they wish to return as announced in Aug 2020.

Dear Students,
SUSPENSION OF FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES EFFECTIVE 13TH OCTOBER 2020
As we are all aware, the COVID-19 situation has been fluid and uncertain. An unexpected third wave is now evident and calls for proactive action to ensure the safety of all our students and the rest of our community.
As such, in view of the increase in the number of COVID-19 infections over the past few days and to minimise the risk of infection, we wish to inform all students that classes will revert to online delivery from Tuesday, 13th October 2020, until further notice. This will be reviewed on a continuous basis and we will revert to normalisation as soon as the situation improves.
However, students who have Internet connectivity issues may come to campus to follow classes online. Labs will remain open and available for those subjects where practical sessions may not be feasible via online mode. Please consult your lecturers for advice. In addition, all other facilities and support services on campus will continue to remain open. This includes the Library, Student Services as well as Administrative and Immigration Services.
To all students, please do take extra measures to stay safe, including using face masks, sanitising regularly, avoiding crowded and congested spaces as well as practising physical distancing.
We will continue to carry out comprehensive sanitisation of all learning and common spaces campus. Screening and physical distancing will continue to be strictly enforced for any entry into the campus.
If you have any further queries, please contact us at covid-response@apu.edu.my.
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy.

All new or progression students who have not received their electronic Visa Approval Letter (eVAL) should wait until it is issued. We will keep you informed once the eVAL is issued and the arrival is allowed for students with eVAL.
Some international students have received the Travel Authorisation Approval in this week and will start to return to Malaysia from next week. Some of your applications are under processing, and we will be in touch with you soon as soon as approval is received.
Please note that the mandatory Quarantine Cost is estimated around RM 2600-2800 including COVID-19 screening costs. The amount is payable on arrival at Airport.

Failure to bear the quarantine costs or any monies due to the Government of Malaysia, the applicant’s active pass will be cancelled, blacklisted in Immigration system and issued with Notice of ‘Not To Land’ (NTL) for deportation.

We have resumed classes on campus for July 2020 in stages for various levels, based on the latest guidelines & SOPs by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) allowing up to a maximum of 30% of the total population on campus at any one time.
All intakes which are in session right now and those commencing in Aug & Sep, their semesters will be held via Hybrid Mode – this means that students will still continue to have the option of either attending classes physically on campus or Online via Microsoft Teams. As such, those who are unable to return to campus for classes will still be able to continue following classes in Online Learning mode, at least until the end of the semester. At the same time, some modules will continue with fully online lectures due to the strict social distancing requirements limiting the number of students on campus at any point in time.
If you have any queries related to arrival SOPs, please contact arrivals-control@apu.edu.my.
We look forward to welcome you soon. Please stay safe and prepare well for your travel to Malaysia.

REVISED STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOP) FOR THE RETURN TO CAMPUS
Please note that EMGS has issued the STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOP) for the return of International Students to Malaysia. We now have a detailed SOP for the arrival of APU/APIIT International Students to Malaysia.
Dear Students,
Throughout the month of July, based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) earlier published by the Ministry of Higher Education, we started to bring students back to the campus in stages for a limited set of teaching and learning activities. This exercise involved only new students from the 2020/21 session as well as final year/final semester students requiring access to laboratory facilities on campus. This had inevitably resulted in weekly changes in time-tables for most students as we brought more and more different intakes to campus weekly and we fully appreciate your understanding and patience in this regard.
The Ministry of Higher Education now allows a maximum of 30% of the total population of students at any one time to be on campus for face to face Teaching and other Learning activities.
Based on detailed revised Ministry SOPs published on 16th July 2020 as well as a briefing held for all Institutions on Thursday 23rd July, this relaxation is highly conditional upon mandatory compliance to strict SOPs involving screening, social distancing and sanitisation, as well as avoidance of crowding on campus. We were also categorically informed that this will also be continuously reviewed based on overall compliance as well as the situation with regard to COVID-19 infection rates throughout the country.
We are pleased to inform that we are presently planning and making preparations for the above be implemented from Monday 3rd August 2020.
This involves careful rearrangement of classes to ensure that the total number of students on campus at any one point in time does not exceed the maximum allowable limit of 30% of total student population. At the same time, all learning spaces have been reconfigured to ensure compliance with social distancing requirements, which has effectively resulted in a reduced capacity of each classroom and laboratory.
Therefore, as this involves all intakes from all programmes of study, this requires that fresh time-tables be generated and published for all intakes from Monday 3rd August 2020.
Students will still continue to have the option of either attending classes on campus or Online. Those who are unable to return to campus for classes need not worry, as you will still be able to continue following classes in Online Learning mode, as all classes and sessions will be conducted in dual/hybrid mode, at least until the end of the current semester. Some intakes will continue with a combination of face to face and online classes due to the strict social distancing requirements. All this will be reflected in the new time-tables which will be published later in the week.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible back on campus soon. However, please note that these are trying times and we are working with several constraints, and issues and operational problems may arise from time to time.
We would also like to take this opportunity to wish all our Muslim students a very Happy Aidil Adha celebration on Friday 31st July 2020.
Important Update for International Students
For all International Students who are presently still in your countries, there have been further changes in the SOPs issued by the Ministry that supersede the guidelines that we had issued to recently – specifically where it relates to Quarantine arrangements. We will send these to you as soon as we receive the information.
