1. A student on probation will be suspended, if at any time their cumulative grade-point average in all schoolwork attempted or the cumulative grade point average at IICUT falls below 1.0 (D).
2. Withdrawal from all or a substantial portion of a program of studies in two successive semesters.
3. Repeated failure to progress toward the stated degree objective (when such failure appears to be due to circumstances within the control of the student).

1. Failure to comply, after due notice, with an academic requirement or regulation, which is routine for all students or a defined group of students (example: failure to take placement tests, failure to complete a required practicum).
2. Found guilty of severe academic misconduct.

A student who has been suspended from the University for academic reasons may not be readmitted until one regular semester has elapsed (unless the University appeals committee grants immediate reinstatement). In order to be considered for reinstatement to the University, a disqualified student must also demonstrate tremendous improvement in his/her academic ability.

1. IIC University of Technology policy requires that final grades shall be based on at least two demonstrations of competence by the student. Students should be aware, however, that instructors may have a policy that a single instance of cheating or plagiarism may result in a failing grade in the class.
2. In no case shall the grade of the final examination count for more than fifty percent of the course grade.
3. Instructors are expected to keep a record of students' scores on each of the demonstrations of competence on which the final grade is based.
4. Students have a right to be informed promptly of their scores and to review each of their demonstrations of competence with their instructors.
5. Instructors are further expected to make clear to their students during the first week of instruction what grading policies and practices will be employed in the class and what rules will apply to withdrawals.

Grades reported to IICUT Administration Office are considered to be official and final grades. Changes to final grades can be made only on the authority of the instructor and only on the basis of:

1. A computational or recording error; or
2. The evaluation of additional assignments or examinations ONLY when an incomplete has been previously recorded, except;
3. IICUT Committee's approval as the result of a grade appeal. Except for changes of grade resulting from grade appeals processes, all changes of grade must be filed within six months from the date of the filling of the first grade, without respect to continuous enrollment of the student. Only as the result of grade appeal will a grade be changed after the award of a degree or credential. All requests for changes of grade shall carry the recommendation of the instructor and the Student Relations Office.

Students have the right to formally appeal the final grade, but only the final grade, in a course. Appeals are limited to situations in which the student believes the grade was "prejudicially" assigned. The appeal must be initiated within the first regular semester after assignment of the grade. It must first be directed to the instructor of the course, orally or in writing. If further action is necessary, the student should appeal in writing to the Student Relations Office. If the issue continues to remain unresolved, the written appeal can be directed to IICUT Review Committee or IICUT Rector.

Reports of grades of all students are compiled and released shortly after the end of each semester by IICUT Student Relations Office. These reports are made available to the students, the students' advisers and Student Relations Office.

Students, or parents of dependent students, may inspect and review their educational records. Some form of photo identification must be displayed before access to educational records will be allowed.

No other information regarding students' educational records may be disclosed to anyone without a written consent from the students, except to school officials who have a legitimate educational interest in the student.

Students are placed on the President's List of Distinguished Students to honor them for academic achievement each semester in which they complete all enrolled graded courses with a semester (not cumulative) grade-point average of 4.00 (i.e., all "A's"). A certificate will be issued for each semester in which the student receives this honor. The University honors will be noted on the diploma and transcript.

Students will be placed on the Department Honor List to honor them for academic achievement each semester in which they achieve a grade-point average of 4.00 (i.e., all "A's"). Each semester the University will award a top honor student from each department with a tuition waiver (based on a real situation).

The University assessment of students' performance comprises of four components:

1. Class Homework
2. Class Participation
3. Mid-semester in-class test 4. Final examination The mid-semester and final examination will ensure that students have absorbed the materials in the subjects.

It is the policy in most subjects to have one mid-semester examination during the semester and a final examination. Final examinations are required in all subjects for all students, except in certain activity subjects or when IICUT Rector authorizes an exception. The schedule of final examinations will be given by administration office. Permission to take a final examination at a time other than the regularly scheduled must be secured from the instructor at least one week in advance of any change. The instructor may not change the scheduled time for the final examination without authorization from IICUT Rector.

1. A student who for medical or compassionate reasons, misadventure or other circumstances beyond the student's control was, or will be, unable to sit for the formal, scheduled examination may apply for a deferred examination. An application for a deferred examination must be lodged with the instructor as soon as possible and in any case not later than seven days after the examination announcement.
2. The instructor will determine whether or not a deferred examination should be granted.
3. Under no circumstances will the following be accepted as the sole grounds for the granting of a deferred examination:
1. Misreading of the examination time table; or
2. Clashes with prior arrangements for vacation, ceremonial events or special occasions.

IIC University of Technology regards academic misconduct as a very serious matter. A single offence by a student of cheating, plagiarism, or other academic misconduct with respect to tests or final examinations may constitute student misconduct. Students found guilty of academic misconduct are usually excluded from the University. Because of the circumstances in individual cases the period of exclusion can range from one semester to permanent exclusion from the University. The following are some of the actions, which the University considers as academic misconduct:

1. Taking unauthorized materials into an examination;
2. Submitting work for assessment knowing it to be the work of another person;
3. Improperly obtaining prior knowledge of an examination paper and using that knowledge in the examination;
4. Failing to acknowledge the source of material in an assignment.

The University defined cheating as the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain or aiding another to obtain academic credit for work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive or fraudulent means. Example of cheating during an examination include, but are not limited to the following: copying, discussion of answers or ideas relating to the answers on an examination; giving or receiving copies of an examination without the permission of the instructor.

A student found guilty of cheating in examinations will normally receive an "F" grade and suspension from the University for one semester. Where a student is found guilty of a second cheating offence, the student will be expelled from the University. A student who cheats in a subject assessment other than an examination shall receive a zero marks and a failing grade for the subject.

The University defines plagiarism as the act of using the ideas or work of another person or persons as if they were one's own, without giving credit to the source. Such an act is not plagiarism if it is ascertained that the ideas were arrived at through independent reasoning or logic or where the thoughts or ideas are common knowledge.

Any invention, equipment or computer program developed by a student or students as part of their prescribed course work and substantially with the use of materials and facilities provided by IICUT shall be the property of the University.

Other academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

1. Tampering or attempts to tamper with examination scripts, class work, grades or class records;
2. Failure to abide by directions of an instructor regarding the individuality of work handed in;
3. Unauthorized tape recording of lectures.

In cases where a student is suspected of cheating or plagiarism, the student shall be notified by the University member of the charge and supporting evidence. One or more of the following academic actions are available to the instructor or Student Relations Office who finds a student has been cheating or plagiarizing.

1. Review – no action.
2. An oral reprimand with emphasis on counseling toward prevention of further occurrences.
3. A requirement that the work be repeated.
4. Assignment of a score of zero (0) for the specific demonstration of competence, resulting in the proportional reduction of final course grade.
5. Assignment of a failing final grade.
6. Suspension up to one school year.
7. Expulsion- termination of enrollment.

Should a student or former student fail to pay a debt owed to the University, the University may "withhold permission to register, to receive services, materials, or any combination of the above from any person owing a debt" until the debt is paid. For example, the University may withhold permission to request official transcripts of grades from any person owing a debt. A debtor student is one who:

A graduation grade-point average of 1.00 or higher is required for all courses in which a student has a recorded grade.

The responsibility for satisfying all requirements for a degree rests with the student. Advisers, University members and administrators can only offer help to the student in meeting this responsibility.

Degrees are conferred only on specific commencement dates. If a student completes requirements for a degree after a commencement date, the degree will be granted at the next scheduled commencement after the student files a diploma application.
