Basically this study has been done to determine the importance, advantages and disadvantages of implementing this policy to all IPT in addition to prevent the decadency moral among the students. 382 students at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai and 381 students at Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur were chosen as respondents. Questionnaires were used and analyzed descriptively using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The reliability for this study is = 0.927. From the findings, most of the respondents agreed that the implementations of this policy are important to prevent the decadency morals in IPT and it will bring many benefits.
