only registration is in JB. it's a one time thing for each semester, due to the SPACE centre is in JB. currently UTMKL is being prepped for massive redevelopment, so they switched off some of the facilities in KL campus.

but if i'm not mistaken, u can do everything online or by phone call, and they're open 7 days a week, so u can come down during weekends, if need be.
well, one thing people must understand is that language is not an issue in SPACE. we're not offering people fresh out of SPM/STPM, but rather people who usually have atleast 7-10 years experience in related field. most of my students are about 30-35 years old (several years older than me). they already have a job, capable of doing whatever that they do, but seeking for better qualification to move up the ladder.

whether they are able to communicate in english or not is entirely dependent on their skills. SPACE degrees assume that its students are already capable in their field. that's why freshies are not encouraged to join SPACE, but rather join the prime (fulltime) programme.

i wouldnt say it's entirely true, but there are some cases like that. however, it's not across the board, so it's not enough to conclude that polytechnic students in general have problems with university learning. simply put, most polytechnic students have problems adapting with open/independent-style learning, compared to spoon-feeding-ish style in school and in polys.

but most poly students who managed to secure a spot in universities are usually the outstanding ones, and majority that i've met did not have any problems at all studying in the university.
