Plan of Study

The plan of study for any student shall contain the subjects that the student shall register each trimester for the duration of his studies in the programme. The plan shall be formulated by the student on the advice of his academic advisor so as to ensure that pre-requisite course requirements are met, and core subjects related to the student's major and electives are included in the study plan.


Course Registration On-line
