Academic Policies

All students are required to register courses by filling up the prescribed Registration 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 the Office of the Controller of Examinations. All students must complete their registration within the workload/schedule given in consistence with the range of GPA of the immediate past semester and abiding by the work load policy. Payment for registration is to be settled as per installment and period mentioned in the notice and Registration Form is to be signed by the authorized signatory of ACFD before submission to Office of the Controller of Examination.

The registration after the deadline may be allowed in extenuating circumstances on payment of late fine of Tk.50/- per day basis. After expiry of normal duration of registration, a specified period before one week of commencement of Mid-term Examination is declared for registration of unregistered students, which is called late registration.

Important: If any student fails to complete the course registration within the deadline (One week before commencement of Mid-Term Exam), 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.

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 maximum load 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.
