Academic Policies

At Aman Ullah Khan College of Pharmacy, Nowshera the medium of instruction is English & Urdu. Students entering the degree program with deficiencies in English language skills will be required to enroll in an English Language course designed to help such student’s transition into the degree program.

Aman Ullah Khan College of Pharmacy, Nowshera has high standards for student performance because we believe that performing at an excellent level in coursework is good preparation for leadership opportunities following HEC. We ask our students to do their very best and we will monitor student performance to help them be aware if a problem is developing.

Students are expected to attend all classes and laboratory sessions in the courses for which they are registered. Students who miss classes are far less likely to succeed in meeting the requirements of the course. The Institution’s minimum accepted attendance is 75%, however individual teachers may set higher requirements. Each teacher outlines his or her expectations for class attendance in the course syllabus. Teachers are expected to keep accurate records of student attendance. If a student does not attend the percentage set by the instructor on the course syllabus of the class and laboratory sessions, he/she will not be permitted to take the final examination in the course.

At the close of each academic year the Academic Review Committee reviews the progress of every student who fails a course, receives a voluntary withdrawal (W), has more D grades than B or better grades, is on academic probation, or is otherwise identified as not making satisfactory progress. The Committee may place on probation or dismiss any student who according to its judgment is not making satisfactory academic progress.

A student placed on academic probation or subject to dismissal for a second consecutive year/semester is suspended from participation in co-curricular or sports activities so that the student may devote full time to the studies.

The Academic Integrity Committee will review all cases where student breach of Academic Integrity has taken place. This includes but is not limited to cases of forgery (signing by students for advisors/faculty/staff), and plagiarism. All cases of forgery will entail a fine and an automatic hearing by the designate committee.

Each student will be assigned to a faculty member who will serve as his/her Academic Advisor. The Advisor will work with the student to select courses and class schedule, and they will discuss career planning and personal growth. Once the student selects a major program of study, the advising will be done by a faculty member from that department. It is each student’s responsibility to meet with his or her Advisor at least once each semester to review their academic progress. Students will have as much guidance as they need and as much freedom as they can responsibly handle.

The program will not be changed if the student’s merit at the time of Admission was below the required merit of the program he/she is transferring to.

1. A student’s request to change his/her program of study will be reviewed by:

• The department head of the program the student wishes to enter.

• Academic Coordinator of the new program

2. Decisions made by the Academic Coordinator and department Head are final.

3. A copy of the approval of a change in program will also be forwarded to the accounts office to change the fee structure which will come into effect in the semester/year following the approval.

4. After the tuition structure has changed the Academic Services Office will carry out the change at their end and the student transfer will be completed.

5. If the change of program has been denied, an enrolled student is not permitted to obtain new admission into the desired program.
