  1. ACADEMIC ADVISORY SYSTEM All new students should receive an academic advisor upon admission to the faculty. Please contact the faculty Admin Office if you are not assigned to any academic advisor. Students are advised to meet their academic advisor in the beginning of the every trimester. Students with GPA or CGPA of below 2.5 are compulsory to meet their academic advisor (within week 4- week 6 for short trimester and week 7-week 9 for long trimester). Failing to meet your advisor, you will not be able to register subjects for the following trimester.

  2. REGISTRATION OF SUBJECTS All subject registration should be closed after week 3 for long and short semester (Online registration closed after Week 2 and manual registration Closed after week 3). Students who are prevented from registering for a subject (due to supplementary examinations, termination and financial issues) are allowed to register unofficially with the lecturer of the subject.  For late course registration (after week 3 and up to week 4 ONLY), students are allowed to register for the course provided that:  -   It is proven that the student has attended at minimum 50% of all lectures, tutorials, and labs (if available) up till the date of registration, and the final decision should be made by the Dean/Director.

  3. Long Trimester • Short Trimester • Probation 1 • 12 CH • 6 CH • Probation 2 • 9 CH • 4 CH • Probation 3 • 6 CH • 3 CH Normal status students are allowed to take: a) In 14 lecture-week (long) trimester: i)      Maximum of 24 CH ii)      Minimum of 1 subject b)  In 8 lecture-week (short) trimester: i)      Maximum of 14 CH ii)     Minimum of 1 subject Credit hour limits for Under Probation students:

  4. EXCEED REGISTERED SUBJECT(S) If you have registered more than the credit hours mentioned above, it is compulsory for you to go to ERU to drop some subjects. TERMINATED STUDENTS If your status is Terminated; the system will automatically drop the subjects that you have registered during the Pre-Subject Registration. You may register after the appeal process has been completed. Therefore, please do not miss any of your classes to avoid any problem with your attendance and evaluation for the classes.

  5. UNDERPROBATION & TERMINATED STATUS 1. Every time a student's GPA is below 2.0, his status in On Probation and his Probation Count is incremented by 1. 2. If a student achieves a GPA of 2.0 and above, his Probation Count is immediately reset to 0. 3. Should a student's Probation Count reach 4: - degree level/ foundation level students can have grade transfer all their credits to Diploma if their CGPA is 1.0 and above, otherwise they are terminated. - those in Diploma are terminated despite CGPA and credit hours. If a student does not have a GPA for a particular trimester, his status and probation count will carry forward to the next trimester.

  6. REFUND ON TUITION FEES • 100% of the course fee shall be refunded if a student withdraws from a subject within the first and second week of any trimester. • 75% of the course fee shall be refunded if a student withdraws from a subject within the third week of any trimester. • 50% of the course fee shall be refunded if a student withdraws from a subject within the fourth and fifth week of any trimester. • No refund shall be made for withdrawal beyond the fifth week of any trimester
