Assalamu Alleikum,

Could you still apply for the student guild if you haven't attended AK courses previously?

[sabina]

Assalamu alaikum. One of the prerequisites for entering the student guild is you have to have attended or be enrolled to attend 3 Al Kauthar courses. If you haven’t attended any courses, enrol yourself for 3 upcoming Al Kauthar courses (and of course attend) and you can apply for the Student Guild.

Can "drop-outs" or those who failed previously re-apply?

[sabina]

Assalamu alaikum. I received a few other questions that I will answer here on the forum for the benefit of other prospective students.

There will be 3-4 hours worth of lessons every week and students are expected to spend at least 1-2 hours for personal study time.

Throughout the course of studying on the guild there will be times when students are expected to attend certain courses, this may or may not come up in semester exams but students are still required to attend the few compulsory courses.

For more FAQ’s on the Student Guild please refer to this thread
