- Inter-semester courses are courses conducted during the academic year transition period (from the even semester to the odd semester), outside the regular odd and even semester schedules.
- The purpose of inter-semester courses is to provide opportunities for students to retake specific courses and/or accelerate their studies to complete their program on time.
- The credit load for inter-semester courses, including lectures and/or practical sessions/tutorials, is equivalent to courses offered in the odd or even semester as stated in the curriculum. This includes 14 meetings (lectures and/or practical sessions/tutorials), one mid-term exam, and one final exam.
- The maximum number of credits a student can take in an inter-semester course period is 9 (nine) credits.
- The implementation of Thematic Community Service Program (KKN-T) during inter-semester courses follows the terms and conditions outlined in Rector’s Decree No. 9/IT3/PM/2020.
- The organization of inter-semester courses for specific subjects can be carried out upon the request of the course coordinator and the Head of Department/Director of the PKU Program under the following conditions:
a. The objectives and purposes of implementation must align with those stated in section 3.b.
b. Students enrolling in inter-semester courses are required to re-register and pay tuition fees as determined by IPB regulations.
c. The minimum number of students per class in inter-semester courses is 20 students for the Bachelor’s Program, 5 students for the Professional and Master’s Programs, and 3 students for the Doctoral Program. Under certain conditions (e.g., if the number of repeating students does not meet the minimum threshold but they must take the course as a prerequisite for the next semester), the number of participants may be determined by the course coordinator, considering the efficiency and effectiveness of the teaching-learning process, and must be approved by the Head of Department/Director of the PKU Program.
d. Students with an academic status of leave of absence or inactive in the even semester are allowed to participate in inter-semester courses after submitting a reactivation letter following a leave of absence issued by the faculty/school or a reactivation request letter from inactive status issued by the department, as well as fulfilling the applicable administrative requirements for inter-semester courses.
e. Students who are declared as Drop Out (DO) following the evaluation at the end of the even semester will automatically have their participation in inter-semester courses canceled. - Students who have registered and paid the tuition fees for inter-semester courses will be listed in the Course Attendance List in SIMAK. However, students who have registered but have not made the payment will have their course participation canceled.
- Students who have registered and paid for the inter-semester courses but do not attend or whose participation is canceled as stated in point (f.5) will not be eligible for a refund of the fees paid.
- Lecturers must upload the letter grade of inter-semester courses no later than two (2) weeks after the final examination of the respective course.
- Grades obtained in inter-semester courses will be recorded in the semester transcript.
- The credit load (SKS) of inter-semester courses will be recorded under the inter-semester period, ensuring that taking inter-semester courses does not reduce the maximum credit load in the odd semester.
