Clear guidelines on academic responsibilities for students, faculty, and staff to maintain academic integrity and excellence.
Comprehensive information about the academic responsibilities, policies, and requirements that students must fulfill to maintain good academic standing and progress through their programs at IIUC.
All students are required to maintain a CGPA of 2.00 and above to remain on acceptable academic standing. A student who obtains a CGPA below 2.00 will be considered on probation status. A student on probation will not be allowed to carry more than 12 credit hours in the subsequent semester. A student, who gets on probation status for 3 (three) consecutive semesters and in whom the University authority finds no hope of improving the grade in the following semester, may lose his/her studentship.
A student shall be dismissed from the University if:
The University also reserves the right to debar, suspend or dismiss any student from the University or any of its classes in academic or institutional interest, if any such step is deemed worthy and advisable.
No student shall be eligible to take part in any Semester Final Examination unless:
A registered student is required to attend the Semester Final Examination of all courses registered for. If any student is found absent without valid reasons acceptable to the University authorities, he/she will be deemed to have failed the course irrespective of marks obtained in his or her course (i.e. class test, assignment) and Mid Term Exam etc. An "X" grade, which is equivalent to "F", will be recorded in the semester transcripts.
A student may be barred from taking the examination if:
He/she fails to meet any of the above requirements for eligibility to sit for an Examination. In such a case, the student may be given the chance to appeal for exoneration.
Unless otherwise reconsidered, any student debarred from any examination shall automatically receive a grade "Y" which is equivalent to an "F" for that course irrespective of course performance. In addition, the scholarship or financial assistance of students who are barred from the Semester Final Examination may be withdrawn or reduced by a certain amount as the University authority decides on case-by-case basis.
When a student is found to have committed a breach of any provision of the Examination Rules and Regulations or any procedure made thereunder or any instruction made by an authority under these Regulations, such candidate shall be deemed to have committed an offence and will be liable to disciplinary punishment.
Such punishment may be cancellation of the course in question, drop of the current semester, expulsion for an academic year or expulsion from the University, based on the weight and gravity of the offence. If a student receives the expulsion from the University for cheating in examination he/she cannot be readmitted. In addition, the student will be deprived of any financial assistance in the following semester as the University authority decides on case by case basis.
A student, who fails in a course within specific requirements of the Faculty and the curriculum of his/her program of studies, may do anyone of the following:
Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Regulations, a graduating student who obtains the minimum cumulative grade point average for graduation (i.e. CGPA 2.00), but fails in any course, may be allowed to re-sit for that course subject to the examination rules and approval of the authority concerned.
If a graduating/last semester/outgoing student has an incomplete course only, he/she can complete the course/s according to the following rules:

To get the approval of Special Final Exam, the incumbent has to apply to the Pro Vice-Chancellor through the Head of the concerned Department and Controller of Exams (CoE) within 72 Hours of Exam held with necessary documents. After getting approval, the incumbent has to pay Tk. 4,000/- per course as Special Final Examination fee.

To get the approval of Special arrangement/Independent Study, the incumbent has to apply to the Pro Vice-Chancellor through the Head of the concerned Department and Controller of Exams (CoE) subject to the availability of course teacher. The application period will be immediate after publication of Semester result. After getting approval, the incumbent has to complete the registration by paying the tuition fee twice/double than that of the normal fees (based on credit hour). The offered course will not be allowed to complete under special arrangement.
