Supplementary Examination system was being re-adopted around July
2011. Below are the details regarding supp exam, after discussed with
students and management.
Supplementary Exam Policy
1. Students have to pay RM50.00 per subject as Supp exam admin fee.
Arguments from Students Justification from Management
- Previously no payment was
needed when supp exam was
carried out
- Venue, invigilators, exam papers
and etc do not cost much
- It is unfair for genuine MC case
- MMU intend to earn money via
this method
- Supp exam was being abused last
time, especially fake MC case.
- It is a nominal/administrative fee,
instead of cost.
- Students who qualified for
financial assistance may refer to
YUM.
- If MMU want to earn money,requirement will not be set so that
everyone can go for supp exam
2. Requirements to be eligible to take supp exam.
- Min 50% coursework marks
- Min 40% total exam score (final+CW)
Arguments from Students Justification from Management
- Allowing the students to take
supp exam doesn’t mean that
he/she will definitely pass the
paper. Hence the quality of the
university is still maintained
- It is not the right of students.
Chance was given in final exam.
Therefore in order to be eligible to
go for supp exam, certain
requirement must be reached.

- Failing the paper and not eligible
to go to supp might lead to
students extending, since not all
the subjects are being offered
every trimester
- The requirements are too high.
Students are able to pass supp
exam with lower 50% cw.- Back-to-back paper during final
exam that lead to low mark
(compressed timetable)
- Students can appeal for subjects
to be offered.
- Re-sit and special paper are being
abolished; hence the exam time
slot will be loosened.
- Management would like to
change the culture and mindset of
students. Students should be moreserious on their final exam paper.
- Discretion of lecturer
Arguments from Students Justification from Management- No clear cut criterion for lecturer
to evaluate students.
- Such discretion will make the
above 2 criteria meaningless since
students might be barred even
he/she meet above 2 requirements
- May involve too wide and
arbitrary personal opinion of
lecturers
- The lecturer knows his or her
students’ ability to pass or fail the
paper.
- Fulfilling the above 2
requirements only indicate that
he/she is eligible to be evaluated
by lecturer, not directly eligible to
go for supp exam.
- Management agreed toreconsider this requirement and
will be discussed on next Senate
meeting
3. RM 100.00 for remarking paper

Arguments from Students Justification from Management
- There is no reason to increase
the fee, as the process is still
same as previous system
- This will stop students from
appealing for remarking the
paper, which suppose to bestudents’ right.
- This will give the impression
that MMU wants to earn money
- To stop students from abusing
the remarking paper system.
Students should only submit for
remark when he/she feels
something is wrong and after
consulting the lecturer.- If there are any changes
(increase in grade), RM 100 will
be refunded.
- Management does not want
students simply go for remark
and waste the RM 50.00.
Students should only proceed
with genuine case
Finance Policies
1) Students must settle their overdue amount before they are eligible
to pay and sit for their supplementary paper
Arguments from Students Justification from Management
-No previous announcement was
made
-Unable to find huge amount of money within days
-The announcement that students
should pay full amount for every
trimester was made.-Students were given the time
since week 1 until final results
were released to prepare money to
pay fees.
-Students should try to apply loan /
scholarship or discuss with CMU if

they are having financial problems.
Implementation
1. With ‘Pass’ status but have supp paper/ Having ‘Pass’ in the status
but when grade released grade there was C-.
This is because ERU was adopting the old system whereby C- wasconsidered pass. ERU took down the pass and fail right after realizing
the problem. ERU most probably will directly release the result next
time.
2. The quality of server delays the whole procedures.
SRC are working up with ITSD to improve the server.
ITSD promised the service will be smoothed on Jan.
3. Exam slip was not completed on Wednesday/
Students have to take exam on Monday
There is a clinic in Melaka named Medicare Clinic, which was panel
clinic but became non-panel last sem. However a lot of students still
didn’t realize about this and hence their MC being rejected by
Senate. ERU realized this issue on Wed and after discussed with
President, Senate agrees to approve the MC from Medicare Clinic
and hence those subjects with students who obtained MC fromMedicare Clinic have to be taken out and place on Monday.
It is suggested to publish the list of panel clinic to avoid similar issue
happened again.
