·         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.

Note:

1. MS students can enroll only in courses numbered 600-700, except the MS Thesis 800.
2. For MS programs, If the number of core courses exceeds 2, the number of elective courses will decrease accordingly. For instance, a program with 3 core courses will have 5 elective courses to fulfill the required 24 credit hours of coursework.
3. PhD students can take courses numbered 700 – 800, except the PhD dissertation 900.4. If a PhD program has more than 1 core course, elective course numbers will decrease accordingly. For instance, with 2 core courses, there would be 4 electives to meet the 18 – credit hour requirement.
5. Furthermore, courses completed during the MS program will not count towards the PhD program’s requirements, preventing any duplication or repetition of coursework.
6. Core courses for one MS program, may be considered as Elective Courses for all other programs.
