The graduates are urged to act and dress appropriately in accordance to the ceremony to avoid any unwanted incidents.

Following to the past incidents that happen during convocation ceremonies, students have been acting inappropriately that had lead to academic suspension.

The families of students should also be aware about the rules and regulations so that they will be granted access to the ceremony.

“I expect students too mind their behavior and obey the dress code during the convocation,” Fateha Nur Azzahara Kamaruddin (left), 23, a linguistics student graduate.

“We do not want past incidents that involve disobeying the dress code and indecent behavior to happen again as this will disrepute the university”, she added.

Fateha has personally chosen a traditional baju kurung to be worn for her convocation day that will be held on Sunday and wishes for a smooth event.

Students and visitors can read the rules and regulations on the official university's convocation website at the dress ethics page.
