Note:

  • Students are required to complete their academic programs in strict adherence to the applicable and officially notified Schemes of Studies (SoS). All updated rules, regulations, and policies, as periodically amended, shall be enforced.
  • Prior to course registration, the Campus Registration Office must conduct a thorough consolidation and comparison between the hard copies of the signed notifications of the applicalbe Scheme of Studies and the versions uploaded on CU Online. This verification process must be completed before courses are made available for student registration, ensuring the elimination of any discrepancies or errors in the SoS or during the registration process.Should any discrepancies or mismatches be identified between the hard copy of the signed notifications and the SoS on CU Online, it must be got corrected from Registration Office, PS on the CU Online SoS to align with the officially signed hard copy prior to course offering.
  • This procedure is designed to address and rectify potential issues at the course registration stage, thereby preventing complications during the awarding of degrees or the issuance of Final Result Notifications(FRNs) at CUI System.In the event that any course is registered with incorrect details, the responsibility will lie with the concerned campus course registration office, and appropriate corrective actions will be enforced.
