Students want their final exam dates maintained despite state polls being held smack during assessment season.
UUM Student Representative Council president Muhammad Izuan Faiz Abdul Rahman said the council had requested the dates from July 31 to Aug 20 be maintained.
Muhammad Izuan said the council then approached the university, and it was decided that the university would stick to the original dates. “We do not want to discourage students from voting, but they must plan accordingly so it will not affect their exams.”In a Facebook post shared by Alor Setar MP Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden, a notice issued by UUM on July 10 stated that exams would continue to be held from the end of this month until the middle of August.
Meanwhile, a source from the university said students who would be sitting for their exams and need to return to vote could speak with their lecturers.
