• Brief Description of Undergraduate Course System at UAP

UAP has designed the curricula and syllabi of subjects offered in the undergraduate courses to meet the growing technological challenges confronting the nation and the world as a whole. The curricula and syllabi are relevant to the current needs and are responsive to the emerging challenges.

a). Academic Calendar

The entire undergraduate study is generally (other than B. Arch.) a 4-year program. Each academic year comprises two semesters; i.e., Fall (typically October to March) and Spring (typically April to September). In addition to these two regular semesters, there may be provision for a short semester in the intervening period between the end of Spring (September) and commencement of Fall semester (October).

b). Duration of Semesters

Duration of each regular semester (Spring or Fall) is generally 18 weeks, which is organized in the following way.

• Classes                                                             14 weeks
• Mid Semester Examination                                1 week
• Recess before Final Examination                      1 week
• Semester Final Examination                              2 weeks
• Total                                                                  18 weeks

Mid Semester examination is held according to the academic calendar, normally after 7 weeks of class. The classes remain suspended for one week during the Mid Semester examination.

Short Semesters have more intensive 8-week duration, with 7 weeks of Class + Mid Semester Examination and 1 week for Final examination.

c). Credit Structure and Course Pattern

The entire undergraduate program is covered through a set of theoretical and laboratory/sessional courses, fieldwork and project/thesis.

i) Theoretical Courses

One lecture per week per regular semester is equivalent to one credit hour. Thus, a three credit hour course has three lectures per week throughout a regular semester.

ii) Laboratory Courses/Sessional Courses/Fieldwork/Project/Thesis

Credits for laboratory/sessional/field or design work are usually half of the class hours per week per semester. Thus, a one and half credit hour course has classes for three hours per week throughout the semester. Credits are also assigned to project and thesis work taken by students.

d). Course Registration

A regular student is normally required to take a minimum of 15 credits and a maximum of 24 credits in a regular semester. The regular period of course registration starts a week before the commencement of semester classes and extends up to two weeks after the semester begins.

e).  Grading System

The grading system is designed to evaluate the performance of a student in a given course based on a scheme of continuous assessment. For theoretical courses this continuous assessment is generally made through class assessment (assignments, attendance and quizzes/reports/presentations), a Mid Semester examination and a Semester Final examination.

The percentile distribution of marks for a theoretical course is as follows:

• Class Assessment                                                               30%
• Mid Semester Examination                                                  20%
• Final Examination                                                                50%
• Total                                                                                   100%

Assessments for Laboratory/Sessional/ Fieldwork courses are made by evaluating the attendance and performance of students in class, oral examinations during laboratory hours and quizzes. Assessment in design courses is done through evaluation of performance during class hours, home assignments/reports and quizzes.

The eventual performance of a student in each course is based on the numerical grade obtained in the course and is evaluated by a letter grade equivalent to certain grade points. Letter grades and the corresponding grade points are as follows:

• Numerical Grade                  Letter Grade                    Grade Point
• 80% and above                          A+                                 4.00
• 75% to less than 80%                 A                                   3.75
• 70% to less than 75%                 A-                                 3.50
• 65% to less than 70%                 B+                                 3.25
• 60% to less than 65%                 B                                   3.00
• 55% to less than 60%                 B-                                  2.75
• 50% to less than 55%                 C+                                 2.50
• 45% to less than 50%                 C                                   2.25
• 40% to less than 45%                 D                                   2.00
• Less than 40%                            F                                   0.00
• Exemption                                   E                                    ---
• Incomplete Work                          I                                     ---
• Satisfactory                                 S                                    ---

Grade ‘F’: If a student fails to achieve at least 40% mark in a course, s/he will get ‘F’ grade in that course. Besides, absence in Final Examination at the end of each academic semester will also result in ‘F’ grade.

Grade ‘E’: A student transferred to UAP from another university/academic institution will earn ‘E’ grades in the courses exempted at UAP.

Grade ‘I’: Grade ‘I’ may be given to a candidate when s/he fails to appear at the Semester Final examinations only for reasons beyond her/his control. Grade ‘I’ shall be converted to the actual grade obtained by the student when available by the following semester. Otherwise grade ‘I’ shall be converted to an ‘F’ grade and the student has to re-register for the particular course.

Grade ‘S’: Grade ‘S’ is given when a course, according to the syllabus, is extended to two consecutive semesters and grade ‘S’ is given in the first semester to mean satisfactory progression.

f). Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA)

A student’s semester performance is evaluated by Grade Point Average (GPA), which is computed in the following manner:

            Σ (Grade Point × Credits)

GPA=  -----------------------------

                    Σ Earned Credits

The grade points are points against letter grades as shown earlier. Credits are only for those courses registered for at UAP.

g). Performance Evaluation and Award of Degree

The performance of a student is evaluated in terms of semester GPA and cumulative grade point average (CGPA), which is the weighted grade point average for all the semesters completed.

To be awarded a degree at UAP, a student needs to complete a minimum number of credit hours specified in the curriculum, including the specified core courses. The minimum CGPA requirement for obtaining a Bachelors degree is 2.25. Candidates will be awarded a degree with honors if their CGPA is 3.75 or above.

h). Tuition Waiver Policy

University of Asia Pacific (UAP) provides financial assistance to meritorious students both at the time of admission and in subsequent semesters.

At the entry level, the top 5% students of each department would get 100% tuition fees waiver in the 1st semester. Moreover, students having average GPA of 5.00 (with fourth subject), 5.00 (without fourth subject), 4.50 and 4.00 (out of 5.00) in S.S.C. and H.S.C. (or equivalent) would also get 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% tuition fees waiver in the 1st semester respectively.

In subsequent semesters, the top 5% students of each department would get 100% tuition fees waiver based on their semester GPA. Moreover, regular students upon completing at least one semester at UAP are eligible to avail of the Vice-Chancellor’s Special Tuition Fee Waiver facilities as per the criteria shown in the following Table:

• Semester GPA         Tuition Waiver %
• 3.50-3.74                  25%
• 3.75-3.89                  50%
• 3.90-3.99                  75%
• 4.00                         100%

Besides, there are special scholarships/tuition fee waivers available for outstanding performance in academic, research or other areas that enhances the university’s image. Special tuition fee waivers are also available for poor but meritorious students as well as siblings studying together at UAP. However, all the tuition waiver criteria are conditional upon the students’ record of good conduct at UAP as recommended by her/his Academic Adviser and Head of the students’ department.

i). Repeat Examination

Repeat Examinations of a completed semester are held within the first two weeks of the following semester. A student would be allowed to appear at the Repeat Examinations if s/he fails in three theory courses or less but not exceeding 10 credit hours in a regular semester. Candidates willing to appear at these examinations must apply to the Head of the Department through the Academic Adviser stating their willingness to appear at the said examination with the receipt of payment of Tk. 1000 per course within five working days after the semester final results are published.

Repeat Examinations on theory courses would be held on 50 percent of marks for each course and the marks for Class Assessment and Mid Semester Examination would be carried. There are no Repeat Examinations for sessional courses. The maximum grade to be obtained by a student in a Repeat Examination would be ‘B’ (equivalent to 60%). The following grading system would be followed in the Repeat Examinations:

• 60% and above                       B
• 55% to less than 60%             B-
• 50% to less than 55%             C+
• 45% to less than 50%             C
• 40% to less than 45%             D
• Less than 40%                        F
• Students who appeared in Repeat Examination will not be eligible for merit based waiver/scholarship.

j). Improvement of Grades

The provision for improvement of grades applies to those who obtained a grade of C or lower in any course. Such candidates may be allowed to improve their grades by surrendering the earlier grade obtained. The provision is divided into two categories,

based on the student’s CGPA being above or below 2.25. Certain academic and financial conditions apply for both categories.

For further details of the academic rules, students should consult the university information booklet for Examination Rules and Procedures.
