Dear Students,
The 'Course Selection' link will be available from Thursday, March 12, 2026, under the 'Course Selection' tab in VULMS. Students are advised to log in to their VULMS account and select their courses immediately on or before the semester commencement date. The last date to add or drop courses for all students is Thursday, April 16, 2026. Tuition fee vouchers once issued after this date will not be revised.
Important Notes:
Newly admitted students, enrolled in the 1st semester of their respective study program, are given pre-selected courses. However, students enrolled through BS Lateral/General Route may select their courses by using VULMS, accordingly.
Existing/ continuing students must make their course selection as mentioned above. Failing to enroll in any course(s) he/she will be treated as “INACTIVE STUDENT” during the semester and a fine will also be imposed under “Semester Freeze Rules”.
Course/ workload (Credit Hours) limits have been prescribed and published separately for each study program in “Course Selection Rules” given in the “Student Handbook” https://handbook.vu.edu.pk/ Students must read the rules carefully before making their course selection.
The VU001 course must be completed to obtain a degree/diploma.
Students admitted through BS Lateral Entry must first complete their prescribed courses of bridging / deficiency semester to become eligible to enroll/select subsequent 5th semester courses as per the program study scheme.
Guidelines/Explanations:
Students are expected to follow the prescribed “semester wise study scheme” of their respective study program so that their scholarship eligibility may not be affected (See Scholarship Rules) https://handbook.vu.edu.pk/HandBook_Pages/directorateofFinance.htm .
Continuously enrolling maximum course/workload in each semester does not mean that a study program can be completed earlier than its minimum prescribed residential requirement.
Course Pre-requisite Rule requires enrollment and qualifying of basic/introductory courses before enrolling in an advanced level course. Therefore, the said rule must be followed and given due care while making course selection.
Maximum degree/diploma time duration: Students who have availed the maximum time duration degree completion period are NOT allowed to make course selections https://handbook.vu.edu.pk/HandBook_Pages/Minimum%20and%20Maximum%20Time%20Duration%20for%20the%20Completion%20of%20a%20Degree%20Program.htm .
Students with blocked VULMS (due to non-payment of fee) will not be allowed to make their course selection, unless they deposit their outstanding dues and get their LMS accounts active from the Accounts Department. To unblock your VU LMS account, you are required to generate a ticket through your own VU LMS account for the Accounts/Finance Department.
Grade Improvement Policy A student may improve a course(s) in which he/she obtained low grades as per Course Selection Rules.
Failed course(s) can be repeated until qualified.
Improved/better grade of a course will substitute/replace the previous/lower grade of a course.
In case of non-improvement of grade, the previous better grade will stand and counted towards CGPA calculation.
A student may repeat only those course(s) of the previous semester(s) in which he/she had secured the lowest grade before completion of entire course work program and mark pass out.
