UMP launches ADAB app for students

PEKAN, 31 July 2021 - Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) launched the ADAB UMP app, a simple application for students to get the latest information during their studies here.

This app provides students access to the latest information on academics, student welfare, student finances, and facilities available at UMP.

It also provides online application features such as zakat, e-complaints and others.

It also connects students with the department’s official portals at UMP, government agencies and banks, and private online payments.

According to the UMP Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ir. Dr. Wan Azhar Wan Yusoff, the uncertain pandemic situation in the country has demanded a holistic and prompt response to ensure that academic services, student development and university administration are at their best.

“Although students cannot be present at the campus, UMP has never stopped making improvements in providing online services, especially for students,” he said when launching the UMP ADAB app in conjunction with the online Orientation Day for new students of the diploma, foundation and pre-diploma programmes for 2021 on UMPMalaysia Facebook page.

Professor Ir. Dr. Wan Azhar congratulated the Student Affairs Department (JHEP) and the Centre for Information and Communication Technology (PTMK) for developing the app.

“It will always be improved with the latest functions according to the users’ current needs in line with the latest technological advances,” he said.

He advised students to benefit from this app as a platform to connect with UMP.

He also congratulated and welcomed the new students who chose UMP as their higher education destination.

Also present were the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student Affairs & Alumni), Professor Dato’ Dr. Dr. Yuserrie Zainuddin and the President of the UMP Students’ Representative Council, Muhammad Hisyamuddin Abdul Aziz.

A total of 600 new students registered online to pursue Diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Diploma in Chemical Engineering, Diploma in Civil Engineering, Diploma in Computer Science, Diploma in Industrial Science, Diploma in Manufacturing Engineering Technology and Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health.

The online registration period is extended until 6 August 2021 to provide opportunities for students who had trouble registering.

In addition, the establishment of the Centre for Diploma and Foundation (PDA) on 1 March 2021 has centralised the management and administration of all diploma programmes at UMP.

This includes preparatory programmes, namely the Science and Technology Foundation Programme and Pre-Diploma Programme.

There are two channels for student admission to the UMP diploma programme, namely through the UPU portal and Masuk UMP Secara Terus (MUST) at https://umpadvanced.ump.edu.my/admission.
