Registration, Attendance And Grading

Registration is the official enrollment of students for classes. It takes place at the University Registrar before the beginning of every semester. The Registrar’s office will announce the schedule for registration. Students should be aware of the following registration procedures and rules:

  • Each semester, registration takes place only on the dates stated in the academic calendar of the University. There is usually a two-day late registration period.
  • A student is expected to be present physically in the University for registration.
  • A student cannot register for a course that has a prerequisite without obtaining at least a grade of "D"  in the prerequisite course.
  • Registration for a course is done in consultation with an Academic Advisor from the Department in which the student is enrolled.
  • Students should write in four copies the proper course titles, course numbers and the number of credit hours on the registration slips of the University.
  • Registration is complete and official only when the Registrar’s office stamp is placed on the slips.
  • One copy of the registration slip is kept in the student’s file in the Registrar’s office, one copy in the College of the student, one copy is submitted to the Finance Office and one copy must be kept by the student.
  • Students are not allowed to attend classes without completing registration formalities.

Registration, Attendance And Grading

  • The ASCRC (Academic Standard and Curriculum Review Committee) of the University shall determine the transferable credits earned in other accredited institutions of higher education. The ASCRC will engage receiving faculties when determining credit transfers or course exemptions.
  • Credits earned from other universities can be transferable; however, the grades obtained from other universities will be subject to review before they appear on the University’s transcripts.
  • The maximum number of credits transferred from outside institutions recognized by the Senate of the University is 50% of the total credit-hour requirement of the Program of studies.
  • Upon graduation, the number of credits transferred from other institutions will appear on the transcript but will not have bearing on the final Cumulative Grade Point Average, or CGPA. The final CGPA will be that earned at the University of Hargeisa.
  • The number of credit hours earned from other institutions will be counted when calculating the overall credit-hour requirement for graduation. However, as indicated in sub-Article 50.4, the grades will bear an exemption sign since they will not be counted towards the final CGPA.

  • With the approval of the Academic Adviser and the Registrar, students can add or drop courses within the “Add and Drop Period�? indicated in the academic calendar of the respective College.
  • A student who adds or drops a course or (courses) should fill the “Add/Drop Form�? in four copies (one copy each for the student, finance office, the respective College and the Registrar’s office), and students who add a course or more should obtain class admission paper from the Registrar’s office and present it to the respective instructor(s).
