These measures must be in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) during the Movement Control Order (MCO) that is issued by the National Security Council (NSC) and Ministry of Health (MOH).

1.3 All international students are required to remain on campus during the period of Movement Control Order (MCO). Students will be able to continue their courses via hybrid learning.

1.4 If a student is not present on campus and there is a need for them to return to the campus during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period, the education institutions are required to issue an authorization letter for the student to travel across district and interstate to return to their campus.

1.5 Higher Education Institutions are required to coordinate on the welfare and needs of students to ensure that they remain safe and the situation on campus is controlled.

1.8 This procedure is applicable for both the new and existing students. The definition of the type of students can be described as below:

  • Students who do not have a valid student pass since it has expired and wishes to renew their student pass but cannot enter Malaysia due to the border closure

1.9  As part of the entry requirement, all educational institutions must provide a ‘Declaration of Accommodation’ and ‘Declaration for Commencement of Online Classes’ for their students. The template for these documents are attached to this bulletin and will be made available for download through EMGS STAR System.
