Frequently Asked Question
Q. Does the calendar change after it is published?
A. Yes, while the university aims for consistency, the calendar is subject to adjustments by the University Senate due to public holidays, national events, or internal administrative shifts.
Q. What happens if I miss the course registration deadline?
A. Late registration usually attracts a penalty fee. If you miss the "late registration" window entirely, you may be advised to defer the semester.

A. A typical semester lasts about 15 to 17 weeks, which includes 12–13 weeks of lectures and 2–3 weeks of examinations.

A. Fee payment is usually tied to the registration deadline. You are expected to pay before the portal closes for the semester.
Q. Are public holidays included in the calendar?
A. While the calendar doesn't list every public holiday, it accounts for them in the overall timeline. The university usually observes all Federal Government declared holidays.
Q. When does the "GST" examination take place?
