Division. All students must complete their registration within the schedule
given in consistence with the range of GPA of the last semester and abiding by
the work load policy. It should be noted that course Registration
Form shall not be accepted by ACAD unless the student gets clearance from the

The registration after the deadline may be allowed in special
situation on payment late registration fine of Tk.50/- to 100/- per day basis.
After expiry of normal duration of registration, a specified period is declared
for registration of unregistered students, which named as late registration.
If any student fails to complete the course registration within
the deadline, he/she shall be considered as de-registered student for that
particular semester and consequently, he/she shall be barred from attending any
class or examination.
Pre-registration system has been introduced from
Spring – 2007 offering courses in the 9th to 10th week of Autumn – 2006.
Departments will offer courses within 9th to 10th week of current semester for
the next semester and students will complete the course registration for next
semester within 10th to 12th week of the current semester. They will have
option to add and drop the course/courses in the first week of next
semester.
Academic Advising System and Workload:
Under the Academic Advising System every
student is assigned an academic advisor by the respective department. It aims
at creating an opportunity for closer interactions between the faculty members
and the students for supervising students’ academic
planning, performance and progress. They may also seek help from their advisors
in planning their semester workload, registering courses and other academic
activities.
Minimum workload for a regular semester is 12 credit
hours or its equivalent and maximumload is up to 24 credit
hours. Since IIUC is following the Open Credit Hour System, a
student may register the expected number of credits with the recommendation of
his/her respective academic advisor and the approval of the Head of the
Department or the Dean of the Faculty or the Pro Vice-Chancellor as the case
may be. But semester workload must be consistent with the range of GPA and the
allowed workload policy.

Academic System
Academic System:
The Credit Hour System at IIUC:
To
bring the academic system to international standard, IIUC follows Open
Credit Hour System (OCHS) based on a quantified curriculum,
whereby a certain number of credit hours are assigned to each course. Students
are required to complete successfully the total number of credit hours
stipulated in the program requirements in order to graduate. The number of
credit hours assigned to each course denotes the academic load that a student
carries while registering for that course. Therefore, a course that carries
three credit hours normally has three contact hours per week. However, there
are courses, which do not tally with the contact hours or for which no credit
hours have been assigned. Such courses are normally not a part of the main
curriculum of the department, but of the University Requirement Courses (URC)
such as language courses etc.
Grading System:
IIUC
follows the Grading System for evaluating the Academic Performance of the
students as given below:

The
above uniform Grading System introduced by UGC is being followed from new
intake of Autumn-2006.
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the number of credit hours attempted in a given semester. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted at the University up to a particular semester.
Grades obtained do
not just reflect their performance in the semester final examination but are
also based on a number of assignments, quizzes, class tests, case study and midterm
examination etc that are conducted throughout the semester. Those are conducted
throughout the semester.
