As approved by the meeting of the Academic Council
And sanctioned by the meeting of the Syndicate
1. PREAMBLE
These Rules and Regulations for the Bachelor’s Degree outline the academic framework for the four-year Bachelor Degree Programme at Agri Queen International University, structured into twelve (12) semesters. The program operates on a semester system, with assessments guided by a credit point system. These regulations apply to departments under various faculties, as approved or established by the University. Each academic department has the autonomy to develop its own guidelines and conduct academic activities within or in accordance with these rules.
For clarity, unless otherwise specified, a “Semester” refers to an academic period of four (4) months, labeled as the 1st Semester, 2nd Semester and 3rd Semester within each academic year.
2. STUDENT ADMISSION AND RE-ADMISSION
Students are admitted into the 1st year, 1st Semester of the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in accordance with University admission policies.
a) Eligibility
Admission is open to students who have successfully completed the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations, or recognized equivalent qualifications obtained either in Bangladesh or abroad. The terms and conditions for admission are determined by the University Admission Committee, established by the Academic Council of Agri Queen International University (AQIU).
b) Admission Cancellation
(i) If a student is absent without permission from all classes for 15 (fifteen) consecutive working days after the commencement of the 1st Year, 1st Semester classes, their admission will be canceled upon the recommendation of the Head of the relevant Department.
(ii) A student is not allowed to enroll simultaneously in more than one subject at this University or at any other university/institution, except for Certificate or Diploma courses. Violation of this rule will result in the immediate cancellation of the student’s registration, examination eligibility, and any examination results.
c) Re-admission
(i) A student who fails to appear for any Semester final examination (covering all courses in that semester), unless clause 2.b (i) applies, may be eligible for re-admission into the same semester of the next available batch. Such re-admitted students shall be assigned the same student ID as the original registration.
(ii) If a student cannot appear for a Semester final examination due to insufficient attendance, unpaid dues, expulsion, or other reasons, they must seek re-admission into the same semester of the next available batch.
(iii) If a student fails to achieve the required CGPA (as per clause 14) to advance from one year to the next, they may seek re-admission into the 1st Semester of the same year in the next batch. Conversely, if a student attains the GPA in any odd semester (e.g., 1st Year 1st Semester, 2nd Year 1st Semester, etc.) but fails to meet the CGPA requirement in the corresponding even semester, they may re-apply for re-admission into the 2nd Semester of the same year in the next batch.
(iv) If the final examination registration for any odd semester (such as 2nd Year 1st Semester, 3rd Year 1st Semester, or 4th Year 1st Semester) is completed before the publication of the previous even semester’s result, students may be permitted to sit for that odd semester’s final exam. They must submit a written pledge that if they fail to achieve the required CGPA in the immediate past even semester (once results are published), they will re-apply for re-admission in the appropriate semester (odd/even) of the previous year with the next available batch. If that batch has already completed the relevant semester, the student will re-admit in the next available batch. In such cases, their registration may be extended by one academic year (up to seven years to complete the degree).
(v) Students in 2nd Year 1st Semester, 3rd Year 1st Semester, or 4th Year 1st Semester who score below the required CGPA (2.0 in 1st Year 2nd Semester, 2.25 in 2nd Year 2nd Semester, etc.) in the recent even semester must seek re-admission with the next available batch, either in the 1st or 2nd Semester as applicable. If such students appear in improvement exams for the previous odd semester and subsequently meet the CGPA criteria after the improvement results are published, they may be re-admitted into the same odd semester of the next batch.
(vi) Upon re-admission, all grades earned in the previous semester shall be nullified, and the student must retake all coursework—including practicals, quizzes, internships, projects, fieldwork, viva-voce, and final exams—associated with that semester. If a student received an ‘F’ grade due to absence or non-participation in any practical course, they may improve it as per the rules and will be eligible to include the continuous assessment marks (if any) along with the final semester marks.
(vii) The attendance percentage for re-admitted students shall be calculated from the date of their re-admission. If the classes for the re-admission batch have already concluded, the student shall be awarded either the minimum attendance requirement (3 classes) or the attendance number from the previous year, whichever is higher. If the student has completed the Mid-Semester examination prior to re-admission, the Department Chairperson shall arrange a make-up examination for that Mid-Semester.
(viii) A student must complete the Bachelor’s program within a maximum of six academic years from the date of their initial admission. Re-admission opportunities are limited to a maximum of two times during the entire program unless otherwise extended under specific clauses that permit registration extensions.
