Dear SGRA/GRA/GRF recipients,

This is to advise you that the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) will solely use the research activity log reports as its primary tool for tracking SGRA/GRA/GRF recipients' attendance at the faculty/institute.

Accordingly, you must document your daily research activities in the student portal's research activity log. Failure to record daily research activities on the research activity log report will result in your allowance being rejected, as stated in the SGRA/GRA/GRF offer letter.

To meet the Bursar's payment regulations, the log report for this research activity must be completed within one working month. Reports submitted for an insufficient number of working days will be rejected (for the number of days without reports) or will not be processed for payment. For example, the supervisor needs to endorse the activity log report for October no later than November 2, 2024 (payment date information will be updated on the student portal).

Your cooperation in complying with these instructions is essential to facilitate the monthly allowance payment process.

Should you have any questions, or if you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the person in charge below:

• SGRA & GRA: Mdm. Rozalita Adnan (Phone: +603-9769 4238, Email: rozalita@upm.edu.my)
• GRF: Mdm. Hasnor Norsani (Phone: +603-9769 4220, Email: hasnor@upm.edu.my)

Thank you.
