5.10 COURSE WITHDRAWAL

The students are entitled to Course Withdrawal (TD) from any course if they feel that their
performance is poor. The last date for course withdrawal is in week twelve (12). The
students are allowed to sit or repeat the course if it is offered by the faculty. With the
verification from the Academic Advisor, students can withdraw any registered course
provided that the minimum load of 12 credit hours remains.

If the credit hour taken is less than 12 credits and the student decided to withdraw any
course, the Faculty’s Dean approval is required.

The normal guideline for course withdrawal is as follows:
a. Course withdrawal is allowed within the period regulated by the University.
Withdrawal is not encouraged as it reflects the student’s weaknesses in planning
for course enrolment and failure to follow the projected credit hours. The Course
Withdrawal (TD) status will be printed in the programme registration slip and
final transcript.
b. The student is not allowed to withdraw any co-curriculum course.
c. The students are required to re-register for the course that they had withdrawn,
except the elective course which can be substituted with other elective courses.
d. Any tuition fees paid (if relevant) prior to withdrawal, will not be refunded.
