Course Selection Rules

BS English (Applied Linguistics)

Rules:
  1. Students enrolled in the first semester of their study program are given pre-selected courses; all other students may select their own courses subject to their scheme of studies and the limitations prescribed in the rules below.
  2. The credit hours limit is as below:

                                 i.            For the first semester, a maximum of 17 credit hours is allowed.

                                ii.            For the second semester, a maximum of 16 credit hours is allowed.

                              iii.            For the third and subsequent semester(s), a maximum of 18 credit hours is allowed. However, in certain cases, the University may allow the student to take a maximum of 21 credit hours only if the student’s CGPA is ≥ 3.00 out of 4.

                              iv.            For the final semester, a maximum of 21 credit hours of coursework are allowed in addition to Research Project, subject to the condition that all degree requirements will be completed within the same semester and no other course selection rules, such as pre-requisite or specialization requirements, will be violated.

Note: Maximum limits prescribed for enrollment of credit hours includes ‘F’ or ‘D’ grade courses, if any enrolled.

  1. Students taking less than the course load prescribed by their scheme of studies will require extra semesters to complete the curriculum; in such cases they will also have to bear the additional cost.

4.      According to University’s grade improvement policy, in any of the subsequent semesters, a student may repeat once those course(s) of the previous semester(s) in which he/she had secured the lowest grade i.e. ‘D’ only, before completion of entire course work program and mark pass out. Any improved grade will substitute ‘F’ and ‘D’ grade of the previous semester for calculating CGPA.
