Academic Policies and
Procedures:
Course Registration:
All students are required to register for courses by filling up
the prescribed form (available at ACAD) in each semester until they have
fulfilled all graduation requirements. Without registration credits will not be
counted. The date and time of registration are provided in the Academic
Calendar and a notice of registration is circulated by Academic Affairs
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
authorized signatory of ACFD.
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.
