Registration, Attendance And Grading

Registration is the official process of enrolling in courses each semester. At the University of Hargeisa, registration is conducted online through the University Management System (UMS) prior to the start of every semester. The Registrar’s Office announces the online registration schedule in advance through official channels.

Students should note the following procedures and rules:

  • Registration opens and closes according to the official dates provided in the University Academic Calendar. A two-day late registration window may be offered.

  • Students are expected to complete their registration online before classes begin. Attendance is mandatory from the first week of classes.

  • Students cannot register for a course with a prerequisite unless they have achieved at least a grade of "D" in the prerequisite course.

  • Students must select the correct course codes, titles, and credit hours within the system.

  • Registration is only considered complete and official once submitted online and approved electronically by the system.

  • Students can view and download their approved registration confirmation from the UMS.

  • Students will not be permitted to attend classes unless registration is completed and confirmed through the online system.

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.
