With the sudden rise of Covid-19 cases throughout the country as well as within the university, it has become relatively risky to carry out physical exams for various reasons. All the final exam via F2F is adamant on having physical examinations although the largest contributor to clusters in Malaysia is the education sector.

Even though faculty has announced that those students who're covid positive or close contact can apply for Grade I , however this is not a good solution because applying for Grade I, means sitting for the exam much later, and we believe many students do not want to delay their exam. Hence this will lead to close contact or positive covid students to not report honestly and sneak into the exam hall just to sit for their finals on time, hiding the fact that they're probably infected which will eventually lead to a whole new ccluster.

We hope the UniMAP respectfully hears the pleas of the students as safety is our main concern. We believe the faculty should run the final examinations completely online with proctoring to ensure the integrity of the examination is upheld. The faculty should make a decision as soon as they can as the finals are starting on the 7th of February 2022.
