3.    According to the Research Ethics Policy, all UiTM students and staff conducting research must apply for and obtain the research ethics approval from the UiTM Research Ethics Committee (except for research that is qualified for exemption using Form REC11).

Students are advised to submit the required documents soonest possible  (it takes an estimate of +/- 2 months to complete the whole application process before approval is granted). Failure to submit all required documents early may cause delays in the approval process (leading to a further delay in data collection, and submission of dissertation on time).

For any further inquiries, please contact PM Dr. Norziaton Ismail Khan (Fellow - Research Ethics Research Faculty) at 03 - 3258 7480.

Thank you.
