These Academic Regulations govern the academic process for master’s and doctoral programs at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII), covering admission, the credit system, registration, assessment, academic progress, the thesis and dissertation, graduation, and academic integrity.
These Academic Regulations set out the general framework governing the academic process for master’s and doctoral programs at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII). They apply to all students, faculty, and academic units involved in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of academic activities.
For the purposes of these Regulations, "the University" refers to UIII; "faculty" refers to an academic faculty of the University; "study program" refers to a master’s or doctoral program offered by a faculty; and "academic year" refers to the University’s standard two-semester academic calendar.
Where these Regulations are silent on a matter, or where specific implementation details are required, the relevant faculty or University authority shall issue supplementary guidelines consistent with the principles set out here.
Admission to a master’s or doctoral program at UIII is granted through a selection process determined by the University, which may include academic record review, entrance examinations, interviews, and other assessments deemed relevant by the admitting faculty.
Prospective students must meet the minimum academic qualifications and any program-specific requirements published by the University at the time of application. English language proficiency requirements apply as the primary language of instruction at UIII.
A student’s admission is finalized only upon completion of registration and acceptance of the University’s terms, including payment of applicable fees and submission of required documents.
UIII administers its academic programs using a credit-based system, in which each course carries a defined number of credit units reflecting its scope of study, contact hours, and expected independent workload.
The total number of credits required for graduation, and their distribution across coursework, comprehensive examination, thesis, or dissertation, is determined by each study program in accordance with national higher-education standards and University policy.
Academic years are divided into semesters as set out in the official Academic Calendar, and may include a short semester where offered by the relevant faculty.
All students must complete academic registration at the start of every semester within the period set by the University. Failure to register within the designated period may affect a student’s active status.
Each student, in consultation with their academic advisor, prepares a study plan listing the courses to be taken in the semester. The study plan must be approved before it takes effect.
Adjustments to a study plan (adding or dropping courses) are permitted only within the add/drop period announced in the Academic Calendar, subject to advisor approval.
Instruction at UIII is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, independent research, and other learning activities appropriate to graduate-level education, primarily in English.
Students are expected to attend and actively participate in scheduled academic activities. Minimum attendance and participation requirements for each course are set out in the relevant course syllabus.
Faculty members are responsible for providing a clear course syllabus at the start of each semester, outlining learning objectives, assessment components, and expectations for student engagement.
Student performance is assessed through a combination of assignments, examinations, presentations, research components, and other methods determined appropriate for each course.
Examinations are scheduled in accordance with the Academic Calendar. Students unable to sit a scheduled examination for a legitimate reason may request an alternative arrangement through the relevant faculty procedure.
Final grades are determined based on the weighting of assessment components published in the course syllabus and are subject to the University’s grading scale and moderation procedures.
Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress, as determined by the University and the relevant faculty, in order to continue their studies. Academic progress is reviewed at the end of each semester or academic year.
Students whose academic performance falls below the standard required by their study program may be placed under academic warning or probation, with conditions for improvement communicated by the faculty.
The maximum period of study for a given program is set by the relevant faculty in line with national higher-education regulations. Extensions may be granted only under circumstances and procedures determined by the faculty.
A student may apply for a leave of absence for a limited period for reasons such as health, family, or other significant circumstances, subject to approval by the relevant faculty and University procedures.
Periods of approved leave are generally not counted toward the maximum period of study, unless otherwise determined by the faculty.
A student who wishes to withdraw from a program must submit a formal withdrawal request through the University’s established procedure. Withdrawal may have implications for tuition, financial aid, and future re-admission.
Master’s and doctoral students are required to complete an original piece of research culminating in a thesis or dissertation, prepared under the supervision of one or more academic advisors assigned by the faculty.
The research proposal, progress, and final work are subject to review at stages determined by the faculty, which may include a proposal seminar, progress evaluation, and a final defense before an examination committee.
All theses and dissertations must comply with the University’s academic writing, citation, and originality standards, including screening for plagiarism prior to submission and defense.
A student is eligible for graduation upon fulfilling all academic requirements of their study program, including minimum credit completion, satisfactory academic standing, and successful defense of their thesis or dissertation where applicable.
Degrees are conferred by the University in accordance with the nomenclature and requirements applicable to the relevant study program, and are formally awarded at a graduation ceremony or through official conferral procedures.
Graduates may request academic transcripts, diplomas, and other official documents through the University’s established administrative procedures.
All members of the UIII academic community are expected to uphold the highest standards of academic honesty, integrity, and ethical conduct in teaching, learning, and research.
Violations of academic integrity are addressed through the University’s disciplinary procedures, which provide the student an opportunity to respond before any finding is made.
Violations of these Regulations, including academic integrity breaches or failure to meet academic progress requirements, may result in sanctions proportionate to the nature and severity of the violation.
Sanctions are determined through a fair process administered by the relevant faculty and University authorities, and a student subject to a sanction has the right to be informed of the grounds and to submit a response.
These Academic Regulations are established as the general framework for academic administration at UIII and may be reviewed and updated from time to time by the University to reflect evolving academic policy and national higher-education standards.
Matters not yet regulated herein will be addressed through supplementary decisions or guidelines issued by the University or the relevant faculty, consistent with the principles set out in these Regulations.
These Regulations take effect upon publication and remain in force until formally revised or superseded.
