DEAN’S FOREWORD

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences would

like to congratulate and welcome all the new
students who have registered for the Medical
Programme. You have chosen health care as your
career path, and you would encounter several
challenges along the way as you move along
during your teaching-learning sessions as well
as when you do your clinical training. All these
challenges could be overcome as long as you
believe that you have made the right choice and have the confidence in
yourselves to complete the programme successfully.

You have the opportunity to explore new knowledge in both theory and
practice. The educational approach here is very much student centred
where all students should have the ability to explore new knowledge and
have the initiative to improve their interactive skills whenever they
encounter staff and patients. The health profession has a lot to do with
the personal development of patients which covers aspects of physical
and psychological health; as such every student needs to show
appropriate attitude and behaviour in such circumstances.

During your medical school training, you would have the opportunity to
visit various hospitals, health centres and villages, which would be
arrangedaccording to your learning blocks in Phase One and according
to your clinical posting in Phase Two. These are meant to expose you to
the health needs of the population both in the rural as well as in the
urban areas and at the same time you would learn the impact of socio-
economic and cultural factors in medical disorders.

In this handbook there is a list of names of key personnel in the faculty

who would be able to help you, so please do not hesitate to contact them
if necessary.

To conclude, I would like to wish you all the best and I am confident that
with the support of all our staff together with all your determination we
would be able to face the challenges successfully.

UNIMAS Vision UNIMAS Mission

A leading global To enhance the social and
university for a economic impacts on the global
sustainable future. community through the pursuit of
excellence in teaching, research,
and strategic engagement.

Brief Information on UNIMAS

Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), Malaysia's eighth university was

officially incorporated on 24 December 1992. A university that is
contemporary in character and forward-looking in outlook, it is committed
in providing the nation with leaders, managers, scientists and technical
specialists as well as thoughtful citizens who are capable of handling the
complex challenges in the future - confidently, competently, and creatively.

With about 30 academic staff, the University opened its doors to the first
batch of 118 students on 8 August 1993. The students were registered in
the two pioneering faculties, the Faculty of Social Science and the Faculty
of Resource Science and Technology. Two academic support centres were
also established: The Centre for Applied Learning and Multimedia, and
the Centre for Academic Information Services.

The following year (1994) saw four more faculties opening their doors for
degree courses: The Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human
Development, the Faculty of Applied and Creative Arts, the Faculty of
Engineering, and the Faculty of Information Technology. Staff and
student numbers quadrupled. Meanwhile, the University also grew in
profile as most faculties began to offer postgraduate programmes.
Research activities began to take root with the establishment of the
Institute of Biodiversity and Environment Conservation, which focused on
the myriad of flora and fauna in Borneo. Links with various universities
abroad were also established. In the same year, the Centre for Technology
Transfer and Consultancy UNIMAS, won the contract for EIA study of the
Bakun Hydroelectric Project, the biggest ever EIA project in the country.

The period between January 1995 and the end of December 1996 saw
further consolidation in the academic and research structure of the
university. Two more faculties began taking in their pioneer batches of
students; the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (1995) and the
Faculty of Economics and Business (1996). These brought the total
number of faculties to eight, as originally planned. The Centre for
Language & Communication Studies began to offer the TESL programme,
in addition to generic language courses. The Institute of Health and
Community Medicine, and the Institute of Software Technology were then
added to the list of research institutes.
 The historic year of 1997 witnessed the pioneering batch of graduates
receiving their degrees at the inaugural convocation of the University. The
year also saw the establishment of the Institute of East Asian Studies.

The year 2000 witnessed the change in the Vice Chancellor seat; Professor
Dato’ Zawawi Ismail, the first Vice Chancellor succeeded by Professor
Datuk Yusuf Hadi as the second Vice Chancellor of UNIMAS. Prof Datuk
Dr Abdul Rashid Abdullah was appointed as the third Vice Chancellor on
1 February 2005. From 4 January 2008 until 31 March 2013, Professor
Datuk Dr Khairuddin Ab Hamid was appointed as the fourth Vice
Chancellor of UNIMAS. YBhg Prof Dr Morshidi bin Sirat was later
appointed as the fifth Vice Chancellor on 1 April 2013. His tenure,
however, was brief as he was recalled occupying the position of Director
General at the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. Consequently, YBhg Prof
Datuk Dr Mohamad Kadim Suaidi took over as the sixth Vice Chancellor
of UNIMAS on 16 April 2013.

3.0 INTRODUCTION TO MEDICAL PROGRAMME

3.1 Undergraduate Medical Programme

UNIMAS offers a medical education system that is progressive and comparable

to the medical education programmes offered in the medical faculties of
advanced countries.

Medical education today requires medical students who are critical of their
own learning processes. They should be able to seek knowledge oftheir own
accord, evaluate medical problems in great detail and seek solutions to the
challenges that they encounter. They are expected to be able to
communicate effectively and to manage issues related to medicine and the
health of the community. These characteristics are not fostered fully in most
current medical educational systems, many of which emphasise passive
learning approaches. However, the medical education approaches to
teaching and learning employed by this faculty offer medical students
opportunities to develop their potential and creativity and to make full use
of these capabilities. These approaches require students who are confident
that the medical profession is theirbest choice.

3.2 Programme Objectives

The undergraduate medical programme is planned to meet the needs of the

nation and the current needs of the profession. It takes into account changes
that are happening in various medical disciplines. Teaching-learning
experiences are arranged such that they fulfil the demands of the local
professional body in terms of medical functions and roles. Each learning
experience is constructed in such a way that there is an appropriate balance
and integration between basic needs for scientific knowledge and the needs
of competent clinical practice.

3.2.1 Programme Educational Objectives (PEO)

The programme shall produce graduates who are:

1. Critically apply current medical knowledge for problem-solving in the practice of

medicine
2. Effectively apply the skills of physical examination, clinical and laboratory
procedures as well as interpersonal and communication skills in various clinical
settings encountered
3. Competently practice self-directed lifelong learning through various digital
technologies and research methodologies
4. Professionally demonstrate good managerial, leadership and ethical code of
conduct
 3.2.2 Programme Learning Outcome (PLO)

Upon graduating from this programme, the students are able to:

1. Apply and integrate basic medical sciences with clinical knowledge acquired for the
diagnosis and management of common health problems of an individual and the
community
2. Critically analyse individual and community healthcare problems and formulate
plans to resolve these problems
3. Perform the skills of history-taking, physical examination and basic laboratory and
clinical procedures in patient care and healthcare promotion
4. Appreciate the influence of socio-cultural, religious and environmental factors
affecting individual and community healthcare delivery when discharging one’s
professional responsibilities
5. Demonstrate effective interpersonal and communication skills with various
stakeholders in a healthcare ecosystem (i.e., patients and their family members,
superiors and other team members) using various medium and under various
circumstances
6. Apply digital technologies in one’s clinical and community work environment
7. Integrate the various fields of knowledge and apply biostatistics for research
8. Demonstrate effective leadership skills and basic management skills in areas of
human resources, materials and information related to healthcare delivery
9. Demonstrate good personal skills (independent learning, integrity, punctuality,

3.3 Facilities available in the faculty

To ensure that the undergraduate medical programme is conducted in the

most effective manner, integrated laboratories complete with computer
facilities, anatomy models and biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology
experimental facilities and equipment are available.

Reference materials are printed, and electronic form are available from the
faculty’s library and from the Perpustakan Tun Abdul Rahman Yakub (PeTARY).

UNIMAS City Campus is located adjacent to the Sarawak General Hospital

in Kuching. In addition to this, Pusat Jantung Hospital Umum Sarawak, Sibu
 Hospital, Serian Hospital, Sentosa Hospital and primary health care clinics
are being used for clinical education and training. All medical students are
required to undergo practical and clinical training in these complexes as
well as in general practitioner clinics and a variety of community settings.

In the near future, the faculty will have its own teaching hospital in the
vicinity of UNIMAS main campus in Kota Samarahan. These resources will
greatly facilitate effective clinical learning processes in the future.

5.0 ACADEMIC MATTERS

5.1 The Medical Curriculum

The UNIMAS undergraduate medical curriculum is designed to achieve two

main goals:-

a) To provide a sound education for beginning “generalist” medical

practice, and;
b) To serve as a firm foundation for later career specialisation.

The following are the key features of its curricular approach:-

a) Integration is the crucial concept that brings together knowledge

drawn from various disciplines into a meaningful whole.

b) The focus of the course content is on medical knowledge, clinical skills

and the development of appropriate attitudes and effective
communication skills as well as on professional ethics and behaviour as
the essential foundation for continued development of the individual.

c) Generic and university elective courses, which contribute to the

development of these attributes, are also part of the medical
curriculum. Students must satisfy the requirements of these courses
before being awarded their degree.

d) The sequence of the curriculum is a planned progression of

cumulative learning, in both theory and practice, which reinforces
horizontal and vertical integration of the different components of
medical knowledgeand skills.

e) The problem-based learning approach, in relating basic medical

sciences to clinical problems, mirrors the educational philosophy of
community- based problem solving.

f) Early clinical exposure serves not only to ensure integration and

relevance but also to stimulate student interest. Students’ learning
environments include a wide range of settings from Faculty-based
facilities to real, everyday medical practice settings in hospitals, homes
and community health care facilities. Although the Faculty does not
have its own university hospital, the establishment of appropriate
linkages with the Ministry of Health, local medical practitioners and a
range of community-based health care facilities, has enabled the
Faculty to access many examples of exemplary health care
management for incorporation into its clinical teaching- learning
 programme. Resources in Sarawak that are used for teaching and
learning activities include health centres, maternal and child health
clinics, polyclinics, day care centres, clinics for the treatment of sexually
transmitted diseases, psychiatric and private hospitals. The flying
doctor service, mobile dispensaries and private medical practitioners’
clinics are also used for clinical teaching purposes.

g) Individual capability and differences are recognised and various

teaching-learning methods and strategies are employed, for
example, the provision for elective subjects, problem-based learning,
contractual learning, small group tasks, family education, projects,
lectures, tutorials where and when needed and seminars in addition
to learningin wards and relevant health care facilities.

h) The evaluation of students’ performances is done through continuous

assessment, end-of-block/posting examinations and professional
examinations at the end of each of the two phases of study.

5.2 Duration of the Undergraduate Medical Programme

The duration of the undergraduate Medical Programmed is five (5) to seven

(7) academic years. A student may repeat any year but is not permitted to
repeat any particular year twice.

5.3 Categories of Courses

5.3.1 Core Courses

The programme is divided into two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 is
primarily devoted to the study of the basic b i o medical sciences and Phase 2
tothe clinical disciplines. However, there is considerable integration between
the presentation of the basic biomedical sciences and the clinical aspects in both
phases so that students can understand the relevance and application to actual
medical practice of each of the subjects or topics they are studying.

i. Phase I
This phase comprises the first two years of the course where core courses are
offered using an integrated block system rather than a discipline-based
approach.

There are 11 discrete blocks and one (1) short, non-clinical elective in this
phase. The primary focus of these blocks is the study of the basic biomedical
sciences where the principal subjects are cell biology, molecular genetics,
anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, parasitology, microbiology, pathology,
haematology, immunology and pharmacology.
Communication and observation skills, medical ethics, behavioural science
perspectives and beginning research concepts and processes are also
discussed and explored.

The teaching-learning activity in Phase 1:

Problem-based learning (PBL): where various organ systems are studied in

an organised manner by the use of contrived paper cases dealing with
common clinical situations (triggers). Through small-group discussions, the
students formulate their learning needs, and subsequently engage in self-
directed learning using a variety of information sources such as textbooks,
models, dissected specimens (anatomy), charts, electronic sources and
discussions with Faculty members. This material is then shared within the
group and is guided by the facilitator.

Lectures and practical: delivered in large groups that enhances the learning process.

Flipped learning (FL): the resources and case studies are given to the students prior
to class. The case studies move the group learning space into individual learning
space, and resulting in group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive
learning environment where the lecturer guides the students as they apply concepts
and creatively engage in the subject matter.

Team-Based Learning: is an evidence-based collaborative learning teaching strategy

designed around units of instruction that are taught in three-step cycle: preparation,
in-class readiness assurance testing, and application-focused exercise.

In a vertically integrated curriculum, early experience with basic clinical skills is

interspersed with continued basic biomedical science teaching. The basic clinical
skills exposed the students by engaging in history-taking and performing simple
clinical examinations, under supervision, in simulated settings. This early clinical
exposure helps the students to understand the relevance of the material they are
studying, and aids in retention, internalisation, and the ability to apply this
information.

A community orientation is stressed and achieved through a programme of family

health activities whereby students ‘adopt’ a family and follow the health and socio-
economic status of the family by regular visits or follow-up.

For 2023/2024 session, the Phase 1 blocks that are conducted in Year 1 and Year 2
are as follows: -

Year 1

MDP 10108 Foundation Block 8 weeks

 MDP 10208 Man in the Environment 8 weeks
MDP 10307 Blood and Immunology 7 weeks
MDP 10408 Musculoskeletal & Head and Neck 8 weeks

System
MDP 20902 Family Health 2 2 weeks
MDP 20409 Renal and Reproductive System 9 weeks
MDP 20505 Elective I Research 5 weeks

ii. Phase II

This phase comprises the 3rd, 4th and 5th years of the curriculum during
which students are involved in clinical clerkships or postings at the Sibu and
Sarawak General Hospital, Pusat Jantung Hospital Umum Sarawak, Sibu Hospital,
Serian Hospital, Sentosa Hospital, primary and private health care clinics are being
used for clinical education and training.

During these clinical clerkships, students interact directly with patients

acquiring expertise in history-taking, physical examinations, making clinical
diagnoses and performing simple bedside procedures under the supervision of
the faculty’s clinicians and the staff of the hospital/health carefacility.

Postings are organised to ensure that the students get ample opportunity to
observe the longitudinal care and comprehensive management and supervision
(physical, mental, spiritual) of patients. This helps with the acquisition of
problem-solving skills relevant to patient management and the development of
clinical skills.

During the community health posting, students are required to perform

epidemiological studies in the community and observe the delivery of health
care in the community and public health care settings.

Students are encouraged to develop patterns of learning which are active and
self-directed, and relevant to the curriculum. Weekly seminars are planned
to cover the core curriculum and every student is required to participate in
an active manner. Skills in communicating with patients and other health
professionals are emphasised in an informal manner as students interact
with patients and ward staff during the clinical postings.

Emphasis is also given to issues in medical practice, for example medical

ethics, medico-legal issues (including malpractice), control of health risks in
occupations and in the environment, and the development of an
understanding of behaviours that can contribute to the onset of diseases. The
foundation of ethical principles acquired during Phase 1 is developed further
during clinical postings through role-modelling and active discussions.

For 2023/2024 session, Phase 2 postings are shown below:-

5.3.2 University Courses (Kursus Universiti)

Courses under this category are designed to develop students with positive
attitudes and culturally acceptable behaviour and personality traits. These
courses also encourage the development of a balance between autonomy and
co-operation, assertiveness and working independently, without direction
from higher authorities, and the willingness to work as a team member in
achieving common objectives.

5.3.3 Generic Courses

University courses are compulsory for all undergraduates at UNIMAS to

fulfil the criteria for graduation. They are also referred to Certain Generic
courses will require that the student meet the minimum level of competency.
The current minimum number of credits required for Generic courses is 6
credits.

Transfer of credits may also be considered to a maximum of about a third of

the total course credits for Generic Courses (i.e., up to 4 credits) provided that
the student can supply evidence that he/she has previously attended similar
courses with satisfactory results (i.e., at least the equivalent of grade B-) from
institutions recognised by UNIMAS.

Grades obtained in Generic courses are considered when calculating the

student’s CGPA.

i. General Studies Subjects (MPU)

General Studies Subjects (Mata Pelajaran Umum) was a directive from Ministry of
Education dated 18 June 2013.

The Ministry of Education requires that all NEW Cohorts pursuing Degree program
(International and Malaysian) students enrolled in September 2013 and onwards
must take the MPU subject as a prerequisite for the award of their degree.

Refer to Appendix A for details on the courses offered under this category.
 ii. University Elective Courses (Kursus Elektif Universiti)

University Elective courses are additional courses, which all UNIMAS

students must take. These courses are aimed at enabling students to acquire
reasonable in-depth knowledge in fields other than that of their chosen field.
Consequently, University Elective courses are more challenging compared to
the Generic courses.

Even though UNIMAS students can choose to take any elective course that
interests them at any year of study, students at FMHS are only allowed take
elective university courses during their first year of medical programme because
the nature of the training of medical student makes it necessary that these
courses are to be taken in an orderly and timely manner. It is virtually
impossible to take these courses after Year 2, as students will be heavily
involved in the various clinical postings/rotations.

Students must complete a total of 3 credits (one elective university

course). The grade obtained in University Elective course is considered
when calculating the student’s CGPA.

Details on the sets of endorsed courses will be provided during the orientation
session at FMHS or on the faculty notice boards.

iii. Remedial Course (Kursus Pengukuhan)

Remedial is a basic course that aim to improve the understanding and mastery of
students in a field.

Course Code Course Title

PPD 1041 Kemahiran Insaniah dan Asas Kesukarelawan
PBI 1112 Preparatory English 1
PBI 1122 Preparatory English 2

The objective of this category of courses is to strengthen/increase the students’

level of proficiency/competency. Students will only get a Pass (L) or Fail (G).
These courses are not considered in CGPA calculations.

Refer to Appendix A for details on the courses offered under this category.
Malaysian University English Test (MUET)

All UNIMAS students who scored Band 1-2.5 in MUET will have to register
forPreparatory English (Level 1) in Semester 1.

Upon scoring a Pass (L) in Preparatory English (Level 1), the student must
then register for Preparatory English (Level 2) in Semester 2.

Those who scored Band 4-6 in MUET are allowed to skip the Preparatory
English course and register for the English Elective courses.

Note:
If a student obtains Band 4-6 in another attempt at MUET, after entering
UNIMAS, he/she can apply for an exemption from Preparatory English Level
II, and advance to the English Elective courses.

All UNIMAS students are required to register and successfully complete the
Preparatory English courses and/ or two out of six Elective English courses during
their studies at UNIMAS.

iv. Registration

Prior to registering, refer to the schedule provided above, for the list of
courses planned for that semester.

The number of credits for each semester has been pre-determined by the
faculty.

Registration for Generic and University Elective courses are done at the
beginning of a new semester.

Students must pass all the courses listed. Otherwise, the course will have to
be repeated until a passing grade is obtained.
 v. Rules and Regulations

All FMHS students are expected to:-

a) Take responsibility for meeting all the Core, University Courses and
University Elective courses’ requirement.

b) Inform the Academic Office of any irregularities that may prevent them
from graduating. This must be done at the earliest opportunity.

UNIMAS has adopted a formal policy about attendance at all scheduled teaching
sessions (i.e. lectures, laboratory sessions, clinical sessions, tutorials and
presentations). Students will be barred from sitting for the final examination of
any courses concerned if he/she has failed to attend a minimum of 90% of the
total scheduled teaching sessions.

If a student falls sick and cannot attend the scheduled teaching session, he/she
is expected to inform the lecturer concerned at least an hour before the
scheduled activity followed by submission of a medical certificate at the next
scheduled session. Only medical certificates from government hospitals/clinics
and UNIMAS panel clinics are acceptable.

The use of purchased air tickets will NOT be entertained as a valid reason for
re-scheduling of presentations or examinations.

Generic and University Elective examinations are synchronised throughout

the university and are scheduled to be held as follows:-

a) Mid Semester Examination - Week 7 or Week 8 of each semester.

b) End of Semester Examination – t h e f i r s t w e e k o f UNIMAS

7.0 ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

7.1 Student Assessment

A. Continuous Assessment

Students’ progress is continuously monitored throughout the programme and

feedback regarding their performance is provided on a regular basis.

Components of continuous assessment in Phase 1 include short quizzes,

practical sessions in the laboratory, problem-based learning activity and
clinical assessments. In Phase 2, components of continuous assessment vary
depending on the specific nature of different postings; almost all postings include
two or more of the following: quizzes, case presentations, case write-ups, seminars,
and the observation and/or performance of specified procedures.

Continuous assessment in Phase I (except the Family Health and Elective 1

Research which are conducted over extended periods of time in parallel with
standard Phase 1 blocks) contributes 20% to the final grade for each block.In
Phase II, the extent of the contribution of continuous assessment to the final
grades differs between ‘major’ and ‘minor’ postings. Major postings, defined as
postings of more than six weeks’ duration, have a continuous assessment
contribution of 30%, while minor postings, defined as postings having duration
of six weeks or less, have a continuous assessment contribution of 20%.

B. End-of-Block/Posting Examinations

Phase 1: The End-of-Block Examinations are held at the end of every block.
The End-of-Block examination contributes to 80% of the block assessment. The
Elective 1 Research and Family Health Block assessment is held in the form
of a dissertation, supervisor report and student report.

Phase II: The End-of-Posting Examinations are held at the end of every
posting in thePhase II. The End-of-Posting examination contributes to 70% and
80% of the posting assessment for major and minor posting respectively The
Elective II(Clinical) assessment is held in the form of supervisor and student
report.

C. Professional Examinations

There are two Professional Examinations, the First Professional

Examination at the end of Phase I (i.e. the end of the second year of study)
and the Final Professional Examination at the end of Phase II (i.e. the end of
the fifth (final) year). Both examinations are monitored by external
examiners from other Malaysian Medical Schools/Faculties or from overseas.
A pass in the Final Professional Examination is an essential requirement for
graduation.

7.2 Eligibility to take the Examinations

A. End-of-Block/Posting Examinations

To be eligible to take the End-of-Block/Posting Examinations, a student must

have a satisfactory attendance at least 90% attendance during teaching-
learning activities in Phase I and Phase II.

B. Professional Examinations

First Professional Examination is done at the end of Year 2. Eligibility for the
First Professional Examination is based on cumulative End-of-Block Examination
marks for Year 2. A student that scores at least 200/400 marks in the cumulative End-
of-Block examination for Year 2 (excluding Family Health 2 block and Elective 1
Research) will be eligible to sit for the First Professional Examination.

To be eligible to take the Final Professional Examination, a student must

complete satisfactorily, all Year 5 postings, pass each of them.
Those who attain borderline failure (grade C- or D) in one or not more than
two major posting will be eligible to sit for the Final Professional Examination
if the cumulative mark for all posting is more than50% from the total marks.

Those who attain average marks less than 50% are required to sit for the
supplementary Final Professional Examination after 6 Months

Those who fail badly (grade F) or fail more than two postings will be required to
repeat year.

8.0 DEFERMENT OF STUDY

8.1 Consideration for deferment of study

A student who is sick for an extended period can apply to the Dean of the Faculty
to defer his/her study for a certain period of time. For all such cases, an
appropriate verification from a registered medical doctor is required. In special
cases where the verification is not from a registered medical doctor, application
for deferment of study can only be considered if the student has initially sought
medical treatment. In psychiatric cases, approval for deferment will be
subjected to the recommendation of the doctor involved.

The medical doctors who provide treatment and verification for students
must be from the Ministry of Health, the University or from the University’s
panel of doctors.

All decisions relating to such applications are made at the faculty level.

8.2 Consideration for deferment of sitting for examination

A student who is sick or facing other serious problems during the

examination period must apply to the Dean of the Faculty to defer his/her
sitting for the examination. However, any application for a deferment must
be made within 48 hours of the examination.

Any application to defer the sitting of any examinations on medical grounds

must be made with verification from the registered medical doctor who is
treating the student. The attending doctor must be from the Ministry of
Health, the University or from the University’s panel of doctors.

9.0 PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is generally defined as the deliberate incorporation in an essay or

paper of material drawn from the work of another person without proper
acknowledgement.

The university view plagiarism very seriously. Any student who is found to
have plagiarised will be severely penalised.

10.0 THE ACADEMIC ADVISOR SYSTEM

10.1 Purposes

The purpose of the Academic Advisor system is to provide guidance to

students on academic matters and to foster a close and constructive
professional relationship between students and the staff of the faculty. While
all lecturers in the faculty are potentially academic advisors to all students
who seek their advice, each lecturer (mentor) is assigned particular
responsibility to a small group of students (mentees).
 10.2 Role of Academic Advisor

In essence, the key roles of academic advisor are to:-

a) Assist their mentees to gain an understanding of the curriculum,

the faculty’s expectations of its students and the University’s
requirements (for example, in respect of its student registration
system);

b) Provide advice and guidance to students regarding academic

matters;

c) Provide feedback and opportunities for reflective reviewfollowing

the release of End-of-Block and End-of-Posting results.

d) Assist students in solving problems and, when necessary, refer

them to an appropriate authority or resource person;

e) Perform any other functions as required by the faculty.

10.3 Responsibilities of Academic Advisee

All students are encouraged to meet their academic advisor, on a regular basis,
to discuss their learning progress including any academic problems
encountered.

10.4 Implementation of the Academic Advisor

Although each student will be assigned to an academic advisor, students may

seek advice from other academician whom they feel comfortable with.
Mentors and mentees are expected to meet on a regular basis, for example,
approximately three to four times per year under normal circumstances.
Appointments for meetings between mentor and mentee are usually
arranged for a time and place suitable to both.

11.0 SEXUAL HARASSMENT CODE

Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) has in place, procedures to deal with

complaints about sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is defined as
uninvited, unwelcome, unwanted behaviour of a sexual nature, whichmakes
a person feel offended, humiliated or intimidated.

Sexual harassment manifests itself in five possible forms, namely:-

 a) Verbal - Eg. offensive or suggestive remarks, comments, telling
crude jokes, innuendoes, sexually explicit conversation;

b) Non-verbal/Gesture – Eg. leering, ogling with suggestive

overtones, licking lip provocatively, hand signals or sign
language denoting sexual activity;

c) Visual – Eg. showing pornographic materials, offensive images,

drawing sex-based sketches or writing letters, sexual exposure;

d) Psychological – Eg. repeated unwanted social invitations,

relentless proposals for dates and intimacy;

e) Physical – Eg. Inappropriate behaviour such as touching,

patting, pinching, stroking, brushing up against someone,
hugging, kissing, fondling, sexual assault.

The university takes the issues of victimisation very seriously. All enquiries
and complaints are dealt with confidentially and impartially. If you are
experiencing a problem which you think might be sexual harassment, contact

trusted personnel in the university.
