Essential Guidelines for Students at Kings University

To ensure a productive and enjoyable academic session at Kings University, students are advised to keep the following in mind:

1. Complete Registration Early

Failing to register courses within the designated registration window attracts late registration fees or, in severe cases, loss of student status for the semester. Ensure all portal processes are finalised within two weeks of resumption.

2. Maintain Mandatory Lecture Attendance

Kings University enforces strict adherence to lecture attendance. Students must attain a minimum of 75% lecture attendance in any registered course to be eligible to sit for the end of semester examinations.

3. Abide by Campus Rules and Regulations

Kings University maintains high standards of discipline, moral integrity, and professional dress codes. Students are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the Student Handbook to avoid disciplinary measures.
