Student Communication
The CUI Islamabad system engages with students through orientation and training. These communication channels are developed for students to keep them updated with relevant information and spend their time at the campus without any hiccups.
An orientation session is arranged for new students before commencement of new semester. The goal of the orientation is to familiarize them with the university's rules, regulations, policies academic standards, acquaint them with their classmates and learn about the other university members that will help them succeed.
The Student Handbook presents current CUI Islamabad resources, policies and procedures for the student community. It is the manifestation of the university’s vision to forge ahead by molding the student’s behavior and conduct within the CUI Islamabad. This handbook outlines the procedures and provide a road map containing the policies which will guide you as a student while you live and grow in this community of scholars.
