Main Registrar


The main Registrar office of Debub University is located at Awassa. All colleges and
faculties in the university have their own Assistant Registrar offices. These offices will take utmost care in the recording and computing of students grade and storing and issuance of credentials based on the rules and regulation set by the Debub University Senate.

Readmission

  • Students who for reasons beyond their control discontinue their studies while in good academic standing, or dismissed suspended, etc.. will be allowed to apply for readmission every semester. Such students should present documented and acceptable justification for their withdrawal and with a proof that they have as much as possible withdrawn as per existing regulation.
  • Subject to the availability of facilities and the necessary budgetary allocations, the Academic Commission may recommend the readmission of such students.
  • No student who has been dismissed on academic grounds shall be readmitted more than once regardless of transfer from other higher education institutes.
  • An academically dismissed student if and when readmitted, does not qualify for University board and room for the semester being repeated.

Academic Achievement Required of students

The grading system

Students entering the University are graded on the five letter system:

Grade    Points    Description      
  A        4        Excellent
  B        3        Good
  C        2        Satisfactory
  D        1        Unsatisfactory
  F        0        Failing           
                   

Grade point average are determined as follows. Each hour of "A" yields four grade points; each hour of "B" yields three grade points; each hour of "C" yields two grade points; each hour of "D" yields one grade point; and each hour of "F" yields no credit and no grade point. The total grade points are divided by the number of credit hours attempted in order to determine the grade point average (GPA). Study the following example on how to calculate GPA and cumulative grade point average (CGPA).

Definition of a credit

A credit is defined as one-lecture recitation or two to three hours of laboratory work per week for the duration of one semester (16 weeks). There is always a minimum and maximum credit hour limit a student should take in each semester.


Minimum & Maximum Semester Load

The minimum credit hours to be taken by a regular student shall be 15, the maximum shall be 19. In some special cases the maximum, when approved by the Academic Commission, may be as high as 22 and not more than one course.

The normal credit hours to be taken by a CEP evening student and Kiremt students shall be 8-12 and 10-13 respectively. In some special cases the maximum, when approved by the Academic Commission, may be as high as 13 for evening students and 17 for Kiremt students with three-month duration of Kiremt semester and not more than one course.

Students applying for registration above the normal maximum load may be considered. In this case the Academic Commission will make its decision based on the academic status of the student

A student in CEP and/or regular programme should take a minimum of 15 cr.hrs. to determine his/her academic status.


Graduation Requirement


A student must have a CGPA of at least 2.00 and 136 credit hours for graduation from a four-year program. However, at least 170 credits are required to finish a five-year program. For diploma students the CGPA is 2.00 and the minimum credits are 68.

A student cannot graduate with "F" unless the course in which he/she has earned "F" is an obsolete course

Under special consideration the AC may allow student(s) to graduate with "F" particularly if the course is a "0" credit course and the student has a convincing reason for not repeating the course. For instance medical reason for Physical Education course.
