Rescheduling of Commencement Date for TAR UC May 2020 Intakes

In support of the ongoing Government’s efforts to contain the Covid-19 pandemic and in the best interests of Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (‘TAR UC’) students and staff, we have rescheduled the commencement date of the May 2020 Intakes. The following table shows the original commencement dates and the new commencement dates:

With the current uncertainties, we have decided to conduct the Orientation and deliver the courses offered in the May/June 2020 Semester via e-learning platforms until such time when the campus is open and we are allowed to conduct face-to-face delivery. We strongly believe that the e-Orientation and online teaching-learning-assessment is the most viable option in the prevailing situation. We will continue to monitor the situation and take reasonable appropriate precautionary measures to safeguard the well-being of our staff and students. Their health, safety and well-being remain our top priority.

To access the e-Orientation programme, new students are required to login the Student Intranet at www.tarc.edu.my using their Student ID. The Student ID is given upon registration as a Student.

To participate in online learning for the courses offered in their programme of study in the May/June 2020 Semester, new students are required to login the Google Classroom using their TAR UC Google account. The TAR UC Google account is given upon registration as a Student.

Guidance and lecturers' support on how to study online are also made available for students' reference in the Student Intranet.
