==============================
DEFERMENT OF 60th UNIVERSITI MALAYA CONVOCATION CEREMONY
(22 – 29 MAY 2021)
It is with a heavy heart to inform that the Universiti Malaya Convocation Ceremony Main Committee has decided to defer our 60th Convocation Ceremony which is originally scheduled to take place on 22-29 May 2021, in view of the recent spike and the sudden increase in new COVID-19 cases in the country. Certainly, it is not an easy decision to make and this step is taken after a thorough and comprehensive review on all factors and assessments, taking into account the interest of the safety and well-being of our graduands and the university community.
We understand that this announcement will be hard on our graduands who are looking forward to this ceremony in celebrating their significant achievements and we express our shared regret for those who have made the necessary arrangements and preparations in anticipation of this event. We sincerely apologise to those affected and it is our hope that all may understand that this decision is taken in the best interest of all parties.
The latest information for the graduands regarding the 60th Convocation Ceremony will be updated from time to time through the official website: umconvo.um.edu.my.
Thank you.
