Notes:

Students are required to pass the reinforcement Mathematics before being allowed to take related core courses. The candidate can only sit for any subjects that did not indicate mathematics as a prerequisite

Reinforcement Mathematics can contribute to the overall graduating credit

Students form Matriculation / Foundation or its equivalent can be exempted from taking reinforcement Mathematics, provided that the mathematics offered at that program level is equivalent / more than the Mathematics  offered at an SPM level

Candidates with a pass in Mathematics at SPM level (or Mathematics equivalent to SPM) and without a Mathematics subject in their admission qualification need to take and pass the reinforcement  Mathematics  subject that equivalent to the SPM level. The reinforcement Mathematics subject must be offered in first semester or before enrolment with unconditional offer 

Candidates with a credit in Computing-related subject(s) at the SPM level (or equivalent to the SPM level) may be given preferential consideration

Candidates for categories (iv) until (v) with CGPA below 2.75 but more than 2.00 may be admitted subject to a thorough internal evaluation process.
