1.3 Minor Courses
1.3.1 For the transfer of units for minor courses, the respective Schools must
comply with the prerequisites of either condition 6.1 or 6.2 by taking
into account the requirements of the relevant programme.
1.4 The maximum number of units transferred must not exceed one third of the
overall total number of units of the programme.
1.5 Transfer of units from other IPTAs can only be approved once for each IPTA.
1.6 Examination results obtained by a student pursuing a course at another IPTA
may be considered for graduation. Grades obtained for each course will be
combined with grades obtained at USM in the calculation of the CGPA.
1.7 Students who have applied and received approval for unit transfer are not
allowed to reject the approval after the examination results are obtained.
1.8 Students should register within the minimum and maximum numbers of units in
a semester as required by their USM programme of study at other IPTAs.
However, in certain cases (for example, the student is repeating his academic
year and needs only several units to graduate), the Dean can recommend that the
student register for units below the minimum number required. In such a case,
that particular semester will not be considered in the residency requirement and
the method of calculation of the CGPA will follow that of the calculation of the
CGPA in the Third Semester.
1.9 USM students who fail a course taken from another IPTAs are permitted to re-sit
their examinations if there are provisions for doing so at the respective IPTAs.
1.10 If the method of computing examination marks at other IPTAs is not similar to
the method used by USM, the grade exchange method, based on the existing
scale, will be used.
1.11 USM students who register for courses at other IPTAs and then decide to return
to USM to pursue their courses must follow the existing course registration
requirements at USM.
