Scholastic Dishonesty Policy
At ILMA University the students are evaluated fairly on the basis of their own work completed in accordance with the instructions
provided. The purpose of this policy statement is to describe those responsibilities and to clearly define behavior that constitutes
academic dishonesty. It is in all students’ interest to avoid committing acts of scholastic dishonesty and to discourage others
from committing such acts. Were the University to acquire a reputation for tolerating dishonesty, it would devalue the degrees
of all present and future alumni.
The curriculum within the University prepares students for a profession in which honesty and ethical behavior are essential
characteristics. If all students and faculty fulfill their respective responsibilities as outlined in this policy statement, the culture
of honesty that is so important to the success of the degree programs at ILMA will be maintained.
Following policy is followed with respect to enrollment
• Batch system is not followed here at ILMA. Students belonging to various programs can be enrolled in one course.
• Student can only be enrolled in a course which is part of their respective curriculum and have completed the prerequiste
course if any.
• Cross Curriculum enrollment is strictly prohibited.
• All enrollments shall be done by Office of Student Affairs the keeping in track student’s registered shift, specialization
and program.
• Students have the option to drop the Semester at least 2 weeks before start of semester.
• After deadline, any semester drop shall be considered as withdraw and full fee shall be charged.
Student Progression and Program Duration Policy
ILMA maintains a formal mechanism for monitoring student progression and duration for supporting its students starting
from the time once students are enrolled in respective course(s) in their very first semester as per their degree requirements,
their progression through to graduation will be dependent upon meeting minimum criteria/requirement of the program and
accordingly re-enrolling in the subsequent semesters as per the requirement.
The objective of the policy is to identify non performing students at an early bird stage, so that appropriate corrective measuresmay
be taken to address their poor performance. The aim of this policy is to also encourage students to explore other options that
may be more appropriate for them such as there may be other programs more suitable to continue and hence prevent students
10ILMA PROSPECTUS 2020 - 2021
incurring significant costs. The University believes it must exercise a duty of care to students who incur fees and who are not
well suited to their selected program. At no point in time, poorly performing students shall continue to study indefinitely.
The University recognises that there can be extenuating circumstances for poor performance and therefore, Students Counseling
department has been established for providing proper guidance and counselling to the students. Student Advisors are there for
guiding the students regarding course registration, add/drop of the courses, course withdrawal, semester freezing, attendance
and other miscellaneous issues. Besides, the professional Counselors are available for discussing general problems relating to
personal issues and shall maintain record of students counseled by them for future reference.
