Admission

Otherwise the students who have interrupted their studies will be charged at the current program tuition fee rate to complete the remaining total lessons/hours of the program required.

The students are allowed to continue the program to study at IMB Milan after all the program studies in IMB Malaysia have been completed and passed.

On the attendance list, the lessons of student A have to be finished first until 0 lessons, and then, the upgraded lessons can be added. Elements needed on upgraded programs are:

• New lessons & hours added

• Effective date of upgraded course

• Extended deadline of upgraded course

• A note on the side that the current student upgraded
