Registration and Re-enrollment
Continuing students are automatically registered for the next term or semester
unless they withdraw, or are asked to withdraw for academic reasons, or are
suspended for academic or nonacademic reasons. Students who leave the college
(withdraw or do not show up for a new semester) and wish to return, must
initiate a petition to the Director which states the reasons for withdrawal and the
reasons for the request to re-enroll. This should be given to Academic Services
or faxed to the College’s main fax number. Management will review the situation
and decide whether to accept the student or otherwise. The re-enrollments are
subject to availability of space.
Withdrawal
Students sometimes seek to withdraw from a semester or academic year due to
personal or academic reasons. The reasons or the timing may affect a student’s
chances to return to the college or other issues. In order to best explore all
options and make the best decision, students are encouraged to speak with their
Academic Advisor (foundations or program Supervisor) or College Counselor.
Students may be withdrawn from the college following due process for behavior
reasons (as described in the code of conduct) or for attendance difficulties. To
request to withdraw, please seek a withdrawal form from Academic Services.
Graduation
Academic Services will ensure that all entry and exit requirements are met for
the student to graduate in a timely manner, perform degree audits and register
students for IELTS examination to complete their final comprehensive assessment
in English.
Request for official documentation
Students can approach Academic Services in case they cannot access their portal
to request official documents such as official transcripts by paying a fee at the
Finance Office or letters of enrollment for their employers. The request is routed
online to Central Services and takes around 5-10 days for processing.
