PETALING JAYA: The admission of students to institutes of higher education will proceed as announced despite movement control orders imposed in some states of the country.
The higher education ministry said that international students except those from the UK can still be on campus, while local students can start returning to campus from March 1.
In a statement, the ministry said that all students already on campus must remain there and continue their “hybrid” lessons, while other off-campus students will continue with online classes until the end of the MCO.
“International and professional exams are allowed on campus. Students facing clinical training and professional exams, or requiring labs, studies, or Internet access can also enter the campuses.
Colleges of higher education will issue special permission letters to allow such students to apply to authorities for interstate or interdistrict travel.
“The ministry urges that academic activities on campuses be carried out in full compliance with the SOPs, prioritizing security measures and always with the rules of use of masks, hand hygiene and physical distancing.
Last year, Putrajaya said foreign university and international school students could enter the country during the 2021 academic year from January 1, except for those traveling from the UK.
The MCO announced yesterday will begin tomorrow and will last 14 days, ending on January 26.
