Policies
Attendance Policies
"Petikan dari Bahagian VIII 8.(1)(i) Peraturan Akademik KUKTEM 2004”

 Each student is compulsory (100%) to attend all classes

including lectures, tutorials, laboratories, and fieldwork for each
registered class, including the first class session, in order to
verify registration with instructors, and to complete all work
assigned for the course.

 If students do not attend the class and do not give prior

notification to the instructor of acceptable reasons for absence,
the student shall be dropped from the course or ‘0’ marks will be
granted for that particular courses.

 Instructors of courses are not obligated to provide make-up

opportunities for students who are absent, unless the absence
has been officially approved. An officially approved absence,
however, merely gives the individual who missed the class
an opportunity to make up the work and in no way excuses
him from the work.
Policies
Classroom Conduct
 All students in the class must treat others with civility
and respect and conduct themselves during class
sessions in a way that does not unreasonably
interfere with the opportunity of other students to
learn.

 Failure to comply with this requirement may result in

points being deducted from a student’s final
numerical average/soft skills.
Policies
 Homework and assignments will be
given and it will be sure that they
are handed on-time.

 A penalty of 50 % deduction will be

imposed for any late assignment
handed.
Academic Honesty
 Your written assignments, lab and examinations
must be your own work.

 Academic Misconduct will not be tolerated, and all

cases will be forwarded to the Board of
Examination, for further actions.
