in prescribed form for the continuation of the study centre with the fees as prescribed by the university, from time to time.

The committee shall visit the study centre and verify the infrastructure and other related academic matters and shall submit their report to the Vice-Chancellor.

The Registrar shall communicate the decision of the university to the study centre.

WITHDRAWAL OF PERMISSION OF STUDY CENTRE

If a study centre fails to comply with conditions as provided in these or if it is conducting itself in a manner prejudicial to the interest of the university or the standards laid down by it, the Management Council may issue a notice to the Director to show cause as to why the privilege conferred on the study centre should not be withdrawn in part or in whole or modified.

The Academic Council shall mention the grounds on which it proposes to take the above mentioned action and shall send a copy of the notice to the Co-ordinator of the study centre.

It shall also specify in the notice, the period which shall not be less than thirty days within which the Director of the study centre should file his/her written statement in reply to the notice within the said period.

On receipt of such a written statement from the Director of the study centre or on the expiry of the period as specified in the notice above, the Registrar shall place before the Academic Council the notice and written statement, if any, with or without the motion of withdrawal of permission.

The Academic Council shall giving due regard to the interest of the students studying in the study centre, recommend to the Management Council, the action to be taken in this respect and the Vice-Chancellor shall, therefore, proceed to implement the decision of the university.

If the university withdraws permission of the study centre, then the closure of study centre shall be in phases.

ACADEMIC AND
ADMINISTRATIVE SET-UP :

There shall be a full time Director for the CCI or DEI, who will be directly reporting to the Vice-Chancellor. The university shall constitute an Advisory Board which will report to the Academic Council and Executive Council/Board of Management of the university for academic and administrative affairs of the CCI or DEI.

The Academic Division of the university shall consist of the Student Support Services Division (SSSD), Academic Service Division (ASD) and Audio-Visual Centre (AVC), if required. The university shall appoint core faculty as per the requirements of the courses run by the university under the Open Distance Learning (ODL) system. In addition to this, university shall also appoint academic officers in appropriate cadre to monitor the working of SSD and AVC. Appropriate technical back-up such as computers and AV equipments should be provided to these units.

Since more than 20% of the students in the university are under the ODL system, the role of the Evaluation Division is crucial in the system. The university shall, therefore, appoint an Evaluation Expert to head the centre for Learner Evaluation technology and the examination division. On line examinations and on demand examinations are likely to become a must for the ODL system. Therefore, the university will have to provide technical and administrative support to the Division.

Income from the non-collegiate students in the conventional universities is the main source of income for these universities but the same is rarely used for the academic enrichment of these students. It is expected that the university should maintain a separate book of accounts for CCI/DEI.

The major part of the income should be used for strengthening the infrastructure facilities of the CCI/DEI and for academic enrichment. Finance and GAD shall be headed by a senior officer and should be given appropriate administrative backup.
