Scope and Core Policy Statements

Scope

This policy applies to all Faculty, Department, Staff, and Undergraduate Students at KLUST.

While intended to benefit all learners, the initial implementation phase focuses specifically on supporting neurodivergent, disabled, and health-bounded students.

Core Policy Statements

Guarantee of Non-Discrimination: No student shall be academically disadvantaged or penalised due to their physical mobility, neurotype, or medical condition.

Student-Centred Evaluation: Academic merit shall be judged on professional skills and subject-matter expertise rather than on adherence to neurotypical or able-bodied norms.

Competency-Based Rubrics: Assessments shall evaluate core academic competencies and technical skills, and subjective markers such as eye contact, vocal affect, or physical posture shall not influence the grade.

Pedagogical Flexibility: Every module is encouraged to offer an "Assessment Menu" providing a choice of formats, but not limited to, live presentations, pre-recorded media, private 1-on-1 discussions, or written submissions.

Equivalency of Medium (Physical to Digital Parity): Submissions in different formats must carry equal grading weight, ensuring no student is penalised for selecting an alternative format that meets learning objectives.

Environmental Adjustments: Learning environments must be optimised for diverse sensory and physical needs, including designating "Quiet Hours" and low-stimulus zones to prevent sensory overload. All facilities must maintain designated "Refuge Areas" for mobility-impaired individuals during emergencies.

Legal Alignment: Policy operations must adhere to the Malaysian Persons with Disabilities Act 2008 and the Rancangan Pendidikan Malaysia (RPM) 2026-2035.
