“New students who are not from Sabah or other red zones areas may register on October 2, 3 and 4 by driving through (at USM campus), while new students from Sabah and other red zone areas may register online on October 5 via the website https://pohon.usm.my/ or via Hebat@USM Android app.

Meanwhile in Bachok, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) has postponed its face-to-face admission of new and former students from Sabah and other Covid-19 red zone areas.
Deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and International) Prof Mohd Rafi Yaakob said the postponement also involved individuals with travel history to Sabah within 14-day period before registration day.
He said the move was in line with the instruction issued by the Higher Education Ministry that had recommended all institutions of higher learning to postpone the registration of students from red zone areas.
“Admission of new and old students who are not from the state of Sabah and other red zone areas will be as scheduled and they must comply with the guidelines for the management and implementation of student admission,” he said in a statement today. – Bernama, September 30, 2020
