Description: Failing to achieve good grade may result of student to extend the semester or dropping out university. Increase in rate of student dropout may reflect badly at a university’s reputation. According to Cherif, Adams, Movahedzadeh, Martyn, & Jeremy (2014), the causes of the student failing can be categorized in major area such as student-related factors, life and socioeconomic issues and failure in educational system. Another cause of student failure is that lecturer is unable to keep up with all students that are taking the course. This is because there are a lot of student is taking the course and lecturers often don’t care much on each individual performance in the class. Besides, the lecturer doesn’t know how to predict students’ academic performance and detect an early sign of student is going to fail the course. Various student retention programs have been developed as effort to reduce the rates of university dropout. In UPSI, there was a program called “Program JejakCemerlang” held by Faculty of Art, Computing and Creative Industry involving students that acquire less than 3.0 CGPS. This is one of many the attempts by the university to improve the student’s motivation in achieving better CGPS for the upcoming semester. Besides that, other strategy in attempt to reduce the student dropout is to develop a software that would able to analyze student academic performance, predict their mark in upcoming final exam and generate a report containing list of possible candidates that have high chance of failing the course. This early prediction allows lecturers to choose on which student they should pay more attention and be well prepared during the lecture.
