It is important that learners are made aware of the mode of assessment and its format implemented by UNIMAS: The Challenge Test and/or the Portfolio. The evaluation of the Challenge Test and/or the Portfolio will be undertaken by TWO (2) Assessors who are subject matter experts in the course applied for APEL.C assessment and credit transfer. The learner must be able to demonstrate an achievement of at least 50% of each Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). A Moderator will be appointed to monitor and verify the assessment instruments to maintain objectivity of the evaluation process. All results of the assessment will be endorsed by the Academic Board/Senate of UNIMAS.

Learners will be able to view their assessment results in SMP system. Course credits will be awarded and reflected in the academic transcript as CT (APEL) for learners who are successful in the Challenge Test and/or the Portfolio. Although the grades will not be used in the calculation of GPA/CGPA, the course credits accumulated will contribute towards the total credit requirement for graduation. UNIMAS will issue a supplementary MQS document to accompany the transcript.

A learner who fails the Challenge Test will not be allowed to submit a Portfolio for assessment for the same course and vice versa. Reattempt of the Challenge Test and resubmission of new evidence in the Portfolio for the same course is strictly NOT ALLOWED. The learner must register and complete the course of their study programme through the usual process.

Stage 5: Appeal

Learners may appeal against the results of the APEL.C assessment. The appeal process is a proper and transparent mechanism. And administrative fee is required. UNIMAS will appoint a different Assessor to evaluate the merit of the appeal. Learners will be informed of the decision made on the appeal. It is important to note that the decision made after the re-evaluation is final and no further appeal is allowed.
