Course
Registration
Any student who uses classroom or laboratory facilities or
faculty time is required to register formally. Besides, without
registration credits will not be counted. Upon admission to the
university each student is assigned to a student adviser with
whose consent and advice the student can register for courses he
intends to take during a given Semester.
Registration Procedure
Students must register for each course in which they will
participate. At the commencement of each semester, each student
has to fill up a course registration form in consultation with
and under the guidance of his/her Students Coordinator/advisor.
The Registration program with dates and venue will be announced
in advance by the Registrar’s Office. Late registration is,
however, permitted during the first week on payment of a late
registration fee. Students having outstanding dues to university
shall not be permitted to register. All students have,
therefore, to clear their dues and get a clearance or no dues
certificate from Accounts Office. Registration Forms will
normally be available in the Register’s Office/Coordination
Office/ Accounts Office. However, for the First Year students,
prior department-wise enrolment/admission is mandatory. An
orientation program will be conducted for them at the beginning
of the first semester when they will be handed over the
registration package on presentation of enrollment slip/proof of
admission.
Academic Advising System
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.
Limits on the Credit Hours to be taken
Minimum
workload for a
semester is 9 credit
hours or its equivalent and
maximum load is up to 15 credit
hours. Since GUB 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 Vice-Chancellor as the case may be. But semester
workload must be consistent with the range of GPA and the
allowed workload policy. A student must enroll for the sessional/
laboratory courses prescribed in a particular semester within
the allowable credit hour limits.
Pre-conditions for Registration
A student is allowed to register in a particular course subject
to the class capacity constraints and satisfaction of
pre-requisite courses. If a student fails in a pre-requisite
course in any semester, the concerned teacher/Department
Chairman/Dean may allow him/her to register for a course which
depends upon the pre-requisite course provided that his/her
attendance and performance in the continuous assessment in the
said pre-requisite course is found to be satisfactory.
Registration
Deadline
Student must register for the courses to be taken before the
commencement of each semester and no late registration will be
accepted after one week of classes. Late registration after this
date will not be accepted unless the student submits a written
appeal to the Registrar through the concerned Head and can
document extenuating circumstances such as medical problems
(physically incapacitated and not able to be presented) from a
Medical Officer.
Penalty for Late Registration
If any student fails to complete the course registration within
the deadline then s/he shall be considered as unregistered for
that particular semester and consequently s/he shall be barred
from attending any class or examination.
Students who fail to register during the designated dates for
registration are charged a late registration fee of Tk. xxx.xx
(amount may be decided by the authority, currently the amount is
Tk. 500.00 (Five hundred only). This extra fee will not be
waived whatever be the reason for late registration.
Change of Degree
Program
Students seeking to
change their degree program must submit a written request to the
head of the department. Upon recommendation of the head of the
academic department to which the student intends to change, the
office of the Registrar shall make the necessary changes to a
student's record.
Dropping Semesters/Leave of Absence:
A student who requires to spend a period of time away from the
University may apply by filling up a prescribe form
(available at Registrar’s Office) of Semester Drop for a
leave of absence stating valid ground for the purpose and length
of leave desired (maximum two semesters).
The student must apply
for dropping the semester during the registration period.
No fees will be imposed during such leave. The right to use
University facilities, however, is suspended while the leave is
in effect. A student who is suffering from a prolonged
illness may request for a further period of his leave of absence
on medical ground by writing to Registrar through the Head of
the department. To qualify for such an extension, a student must
submit a comprehensive medical report along with the
application.
Withdrawal from a Semester
If
a student is unable to complete the Semester Final Examination
due to serious illness or serious accident, he/she may apply to
the Head of the department for total withdrawal from the
Semester within a week after the end of the Semester Final
Examination. However, he/she may choose not to withdraw any
laboratory/ sessional course if the grade obtained in such a
course is ‘D’ or better.
The application must be supported by a medical certificate from
the Medical Officer. The Academic Council will take the final
decision about such application.
