Student Affairs Committee

Lots of students come with special requests of very diverse forms. I have created a Student Affairs Committee – Ali Kemal, Meryem, Haider – to look into all student problems and submit recommendations to me regarding their resolution. Students coming to me are referred to this committee first.

ALI KEMAL Reported as follows:

We have receives some cases in which students are facing some difficulties or they have certain issues.

a. The case of Environment Economics Student, in which he was dropped from the department after unable to secure minimum requirement of GPA in each semester is still under review, The student affairs committee has talked to the head of the departments, dean, examination head and read all the rules. We also want to meet the concerned Student and check some basic guidelines of HEC which are not clearly written in our rules.

b. There was a new case of extension of female students for female hostel. Although they have obtained one time extension in the last semester thus as per rule they cant ask for another extension but since there is no intake of new students in this semester thus they have requested again. The committee will meet Warden of the Hostel and Finalize the things in the next week.

c. A student in MPhil Health Economics who recently got married and did not appear in Macroeconomics exam has asked for re-taking Macro Exam, which was rejected by the committee.

d. There is another student in MSc Economics (First Semester) who was unable to appear in several exams due to his personal reasons. However, on human sympathy grounds we are thinking of giving him favour but that should be under the rules, which will be discussed with Dr Fazal (Head Economics Dept) , Dr. Ejaz (Dean) and Nabeela Arshad (Examination) in the next week IndhAllah.

e. Some other small issues such as Trip approval are rejected by the committee.
