KASBIT also reserves the right to divide, cancel, reschedule classes, or reassign instructors if enrollment or other factors require. If course cancellations occur, students will be notified in order to adjust their schedules.
Registration
New post-graduate students will register for the fall and spring semesters as part of the New Student Orientation Program. New post-graduate students will receive all necessary information how to register in semester courses during orientation sessions.
At the beginning of next semester registration notice will be published by the Registrar prior to the registration of courses which specifies the time periods and fees for late registration. Students are responsible for the dates and should contact the Registrar’s Office if they need information to avoid late fees. During the semester, students will receive information regarding course offerings for the following academic year. After consulting with academic advisors, students will submit their course registration form in the Registrar’s office. Students are responsible for the accuracy of their course registration and for processing changes by the appropriate deadlines.

Students are expected to attend all their scheduled classes and not to be absent without adequate reason. A minimum 75% attendance is required in each course registered during the semester. A student who is not meeting the minimum attendance requirement or absent from a class without adequate reason may be restricted from attempting the final examination and may be subject to shortage of attendance policy if applicable.

Regardless of whether or not the registration prevents a student from enrolling in a course, student will be responsible for the failure to adhere those prerequisites.
Withheld
If you have a hold on your records, you may not register or, in many cases, obtain transcripts until that hold is cleared with the office imposing the hold. A hold may be imposed for financial, academic and disciplinary indebtedness to the institute.
Examination / Assessment Policy
Assessment is an integral part of a university education. Regular assessment provides an opportunity for students to gauge their understanding of course material, for instructors to determine what students have learned, and for the university to certify student achievement. Students require sufficient and timely feedback from instructors to be able to improve their performance and to make informed decisions about withdrawal, registration in subsequent semesters, and how to allocate their time within a course. Instructors at KASBIT have a long tradition of providing fair and accurate assessment, free of bias based on student ethnicity, religion, gender, gender preference, social class, disabilities, or other unrelated personal characteristics.
This Assessment Policy provides procedures for the conduct and scheduling of formal assessments and for the reporting of grades. However, no policy can cover all eventualities. It is understood that this Policy must be interpreted humanely and sensitively.
