ABSCSM is the body that ensures fairness, consistency, and proper academic oversight when students face exceptional situations requiring changes to their academic records or status.
ABSCSM stands for the Academic Board Sub‑Committee on Student Matters.
It is not a person, but rather a committee within the university’s governance structure.
Reviews student requests for adjustments to registration or academic records.
Considers applications for leave of absence, withdrawal, or cases where a student is Required to Withdraw (RTW).
Handles extenuating circumstances that affect a student’s academic progress.
Acts as a sub‑committee of the Global Campus Academic Board, meaning its decisions are part of the broader academic governance system.
Ensures oversight: Any adjustment to a student’s record must have at least Academic Board sign‑off, if not full approval.
