Student Retention and Academic Success Strategies
Imam Malik College of Sharia and Law in Dubai is a leading educational institution committed to providing a supportive environment for its students and ensuring their academic success. The College adopts a range of strategies and policies designed to retain students and help them excel in their studies.
At the core of these strategies is the academic warning and monitoring system. The College closely monitors student performance. A student receives an academic warning if his cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 (70%) after completing two semesters or 32 credit hours. This system allows for early intervention and gives students the opportunity to improve their performance before facing more serious consequences.
To support students who face academic difficulties, the College offers a remedial program designed specifically to help students raise their grades and improve their performance. This program reflects the College's commitment to the success of every student and to providing the support necessary to achieve it.
The College recognizes that the path to academic success can sometimes be difficult. For this reason, it provides flexible policies that allow students to retake courses in which they failed or received low grades. This policy gives students a second opportunity to master the material and improve their cumulative GPA.
Academic advising is another essential element of the College's student retention strategy. Academic advisors are assigned to students to guide them throughout their studies, assist them in selecting courses, monitor their progress, and provide support when needed.
The College also recognizes that personal circumstances may affect academic performance. Accordingly, it provides flexible policies for withdrawing from courses or taking a leave of absence when necessary, allowing students to deal with emergencies without compromising their academic future.
While the College strives to support all students, it also maintains high academic standards. Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in order to graduate, and must complete the bachelor's degree within a maximum of 14 semesters. These requirements ensure that graduates have the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their fields of specialization.
Finally, the College provides a fair appeals process for academic decisions, ensuring that the student's voice is heard and that all decisions are made justly and transparently.
Through these comprehensive strategies, Imam Malik College of Sharia and Law demonstrates its commitment to the success of its students and to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment. This approach not only helps retain students but also ensures that they graduate as competent professionals, well qualified in the fields of Sharia and Law.
