UGRCs registration is done differently from the regular course registration. A UGRC portal is usually opened in the second week of the semester. Eligible students can click on the portal and follow the necessary steps to register. Students in higher levels should however print their academic records, write the correct course code of the UGRC on it and submit it at the UGRC Coordinator’s office.
Print the appropriate re-sit form on the university’s website and fill it. Send it to the department where you are re-sitting the course for the HOD to endorse. Then make the appropriate payment at the cash office of the University and submit your form at the Academic Affairs Office of the College after payment. Failure to submit this form for registration means that you have not registered even though you have paid (payment for re-sit is not the same as registering for a re-sit). Failure to register means that you cannot be issued with a provisional ID card for the examination. You will therefore not be allowed to write the examination.
Students in the college who belong to the new grading system are only allowed by the regulations to re-sit courses that they have scored grades ‘E’ and ‘F’. Students do not have the option to re-sit any course that they have scored a better grade than these two grades in.
A maximum of 17 credit hours is required by students offering B.A., BSc Administration, and LLB students. Students offering B.F.A can take up to a maximum of 21 credit hours (Refer to page 44 of Regulations for Junior Members, Vol. 1; September 2016)
The process of Adding or Dropping courses is now part of mainstream registration. It can therefore be done when the system is opened for registration. A student after registering his courses can add more courses by logging onto his MIS web page and clicking on “Add subjects to a registration” and follow the steps to add.
For deletion, you can also click on “cancel a subject” after logging onto your MIS web page and follow the steps.
Note however that you cannot re-register a course that you have dropped. So make sure that you do not have to register a course before you drop it.
A grade X is awarded to a student who is unable to complete a course for reasons adjudged by the Board of Examiners as unsatisfactory. It is a failed grade. (Refer to page 47 of Regulations for Junior Members, Vol. 1; September 2016).
The University has provided for four semesters or two academic years to students to redeem all resit papers. After this period, such persons are no longer eligible to take resit examinations.
Students who are unable to take their exams on the basis of ill health should bring this to the attention of the Director of Academic Affairs.
Students offering Economics cannot graduate with a grade ‘F’ in any of the courses. Aside the Economics department, students in any other department can graduate with a grade ‘F’ in any elective course; provided the total number of grades ‘Es’ and ‘Fs’ is not more than 16 credit hours (Refer to page 49 of Regulations for Junior Members, Vol. 1; September 2016).
