No. The W grade will not be computed in your CGPA, but it will be calculated in the Satisfactory Academic Progress. Also note that the W grade will always show in your transcript.
All students must maintain satisfactory academic progress in order to remain enrolled at the university. Satisfactory Academic Progress is determined by measuring the student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA). Students are expected to meet minimum CGPA requirements in order to be considered making satisfactory academic progress. Undergraduate students are required to maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.0 throughout their enrollment. All Graduate Students are required to maintain their CGPA at 3.0 or higher in order to remain in good academic standing.
This happens because you selected the courses you need to register online, but you did not finalize the registration process properly. Therefore, please check the online registration tutorial in this booklet before registering, and make sure to print your schedule through this link: (http://schedule.aud.edu/).
If you need to transfer to another university for a semester, you should fill the Course Authorization Form, available online or at the Registrar’s Office and get the required approvals.
P* is for Pass, F* is for Fail, and W* is for Withdraw. These grades for the “Developmental Courses” that are non-credited courses and do not affect the GPA or the credits earned.
If a student misses the registration period, then he/she can register during the Drop/Add period with a late registration fee of AED 1,050.
The original documents of the student files are not released back to the student as they are part of the student permanent file as per the University Policy on Academic Record Retention and Storage.
The Portal is the online login system that connects you to the following:
You may know who your advisor is by referring to the Online Portal, or the Academic Advising Center.
You may do so by filling a Change of Data Form, available online under the Registrar’s Webpage.
Overloading courses should be approved by your advisor. Registering for more than 15 credits is done at the Registrar’s Office only.
For changing your Program or Major, the respective Advisor, Dean, Associate Dean or Chair approval is required. The Engineering Program requires the Dean’s and the Admissions Office’s approval.
Dropping courses is not allowed after the Drop/Add period. You may only Withdraw from your course until the end of 10th week of the semester and the end of the 5th week of the Summer terms. You can withdraw from a course through this link: (http://registrar.aud.edu/).
Only those whom you mentioned in the Consent Form can pick up any documents on your behalf. Or you may fill the Consent to Release Education Records - Exception
The Registrar’s Office does not give any student related information over the phone. Parents can access your information if you signed the Consent Form allowing them to have access to your records.
Failing and/or withdrawing a required course (including noncredit courses) three times will be grounds for dismissal. When a student registers for a course the third time, he/she may only do so subject to the conditions set by the appropriate Dean, Associate Dean or Chair.
A Hold on your portal means that you have a pending matter with a certain department at AUD. In such a case you need to check with the relevant department to learn how it can be resolved.
Types of Holds
Yes. By meeting requirements for the Major in two separate departments, you can complete a double Major. Students should consult the Office of the Registrar or Advising Centre about the procedure for declaring a second Major.
Students may choose to have a minor. A minor is a secondary field of study requiring at least 15 credit hours in the field. Specific course requirements for minors are listed under the programs in each school. Students should consult the Academic Advisor about the procedure for declaring a minor.
The grade point average (GPA) is calculated on a four-point numerical scale. Each letter grade has its own quality point value.
