Further study in FIST? Degree? FIST (MMU Melaka)? Hmm..What is the entry requirement?

Entry Requirement (FIST) Pass Diploma with minimum CGPA 2.50 and a credit in Mathematics at SPM Level or its equivalent. . Candidates with CGPA below 2.50 but above 2.0 may be admitted subject to a rigorous internal assessment process;

Further study in FCI? Degree? FCI (MMU Cyberjaya)? Hmm..What is the entry requirement then?

Entry Requirement (FCI) A Diploma in Computer Science OR Software Engineering OR Information Technology OR Information Systems or equivalent with a minimum CGPA of 2.50 and a credit in Additional Mathematics at SPM Level or its equivalent. Candidates with CGPA below 2.50 but above 2.0 with a credit in Additional Mathematics at SPM level or its equivalent may be admitted subject to a rigorous internal assessment process; Candidates without a credit in additional mathematics at SPM level or its equivalent may be admitted if the Diploma programme contains subjects in mathematics that are equivalent to additional mathematics at SPM level.

Didn’t take Additional Math at SPM. Further study in FCI? Didn’t take Additional Math at SPM. HOW??? No credit in Add. Math. How??

Entry Requirement (FCI) To those who wanted to pursue degree in FCI, MUST get credit in Additional Mathematics at SPM level. If you didn't fulfill this requirement, you have to take the subject DPS5018 Introduction to Probability and Statistics in order to match the requirement which is pass in subject DIM5058 Math Tech 1, DIM5068 Math Tech 2 AND DPS  5018 Intro to Prob & Stat before complete your study in CDP.

Credit transfer How many subjects can be transferred? Can I get credit transfer in faculty? You may refer to MMU Online Bulletin Board, under CDP. There are about 7 – 10 transferrable subjects (depends on what programme you enroll in Faculty) YES! With following criteria: Min. grade for credit transfer is C.
