The breakdown of COVID-19 has led to Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia which started on 18 March 2020. This partial lockdown is implemented to prevent COVID-19 pandemic from being overspread throughout Malaysia. MCO has affected many people around the world especially those in the education field. The closure of school and institute of higher education have given a great impact to the students. To make sure that educations are continuously being distributed to students at their own place during MCO, educators have applied online teaching and learning. This paper is done to study undergraduate students’ readiness towards online teaching and learning during COVID-19. A survey on students’ readiness has been distributed to 191 students from Faculty of Civil Engineering, UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang.
