Discontinuance of Studies

A discontinuation of studies may occur either upon the issuance of a transfer of credits (honorable dismissal) by the Office of the Registrar, for a justified cause or upon petition from the student, or upon an order of dismissal by the university on grounds of a major offense, specified in the code of conduct for students. If a student wishes to temporarily leave the university, they must acquire the permission from the office, using the Leave of Absence Form, stating the definite period and reason for the leave. Failure to do so may result in the period of absence to be considered to exceed the time limit of maximum residency.

  • Prior permission has to be obtained from the Registrar’s Office in case of Discontinuance of studies for any reason or purpose. Such discontinuation of studies will be termed as “Leave of Absence”. The Leave of Absence Form must be filled out stating the specific reason. Otherwise, the period of absence shall be counted against the student and an absence of 2 (two) consecutive semesters without prior approval will lead to cancellation of his/her studentship from the University.
  • At the time of rejoining, the student will be subjected to the new/updated policies (if any) regarding the academic curriculum, tuition fees, graduation requirements, etc.
  • Student once terminated due to probation, disciplinary or any other reason cannot apply for new admission or readmission.
  • Degree/certificate obtained by the student prior to the admission at AIUB, must be from an institution approved by the government authorities (as applicable).
