Admisson
The University's academic year consists of two biannual semesters; Spring (April to September) and Autumn (October to March). All courses are advertised well in advance in national newspapers, as well as by radio announcement and an introductory TV programme. Students are then able to enrol either at their nearest regional office or by direct application to the admission office at Islamabad. The admission forms are further processed at the University's computing centre for the preparation of enrolment lists, mailing labels and the initiation or updating of student records.

Service

The University's main campus is located at Islamabad. Its educational facilities are extended to the remotest parts of Pakistan, firstly through the mailing of learning materials and its radio and TV broadcasts and secondly by tutorial services through its regional campuses and centres established at major cities of the country. Regional Directors arrange tutorial support for students at local level, both through correspondence and through the study centres established in various educational institutions of the formal system of education. The regional campuses also organize workshops and provide guidance to the students.

Allama Iqbal Open University is primarily a distance teaching institution using multi-media techniques. The main components are:

1. Correspondence packages which include self-learning printed texts and supplementary study materials.
2. Radio and television broadcasts specially prepared for distance learners.
3. Tutorial instruction through correspondence, plus face-to-face teaching at study centres, where possible, and workshops, where appropriate.
4. Course assignments as instruments both of teaching and continuous assessment.


Urdu is usually the language of instruction but English is also used as a medium of instruction and expression in certain courses, particularly at BA, Postgraduate and MPhil levels.

Registration
Candidates are required to apply afresh for continuous admission in each semester quoting the original registration number. Application forms are appended to the prospectus, and are available at the main campus as well as at the Regional campuses or can be obtained by writing to the admission department at the above address.
