My Dear Students,

As you navigate your academic journey, remember that each step forward enhances not only your own knowledge but also enriches our global community with new perspectives and innovations.Embrace challenges as opportunities, knowing that your efforts today will shape a brighter tomorrow.

With this vision and mission in mind, we are thrilled to announce that admission for CMR University’s Accelerated Credit Course Programme (ACCP) for 2025 has started and will be delivered online. It is now available for students from multiple streams. This innovative initiative presents students with the chance to proactively earn advanced certifications and credits while immersing themselves in modern, specialized fields, thus enriching their academic portfolio.

ACCP courses are specially designed and offered for free in online mode to all students. ACC allows students to be actively engaged, delve into niche courses, receive personalized instruction from experts, and acquire certifications and credits prior to the commencement of their degree program, giving them a good head start. Students can choose any ACC irrespective of the degree program they pursue. This is open to all students aspiring to pursue any degree and free for all! Simple registration on the CMRU portal grants them eligibility.

We were elated to see the ACCP receiving an overwhelming response, with many students enrolling in a diverse range of courses, such as Artificial Intelligence, Digital Skills, Entrepreneurship, and Mastering the Art of Public Speaking. At CMR University, we are committed to providing the best for our students, and we have continuously evolved over the years with constructive feedback from our students. It would be great if you could suggest courses that will be of interest to you and your peers.

We are also pleased to inform you that we have now integrated the Faculty-Student Curriculum Roundtable (FSCR) into our Curriculum Design and Development (CDD) process. The FSCR plays a vital role in promoting collaboration and dialogue between our faculty members and students, ensuring that the curriculum remains relevant, inclusive, and responsive to your needs and expectations. By including student representation, the FSCR encourages a student-centered approach to curriculum development. This means that your valuable insights about your educational needs and aspirations will be formally gathered. The FSCR will facilitate open discussions between faculty and students, allowing for the collection of feedback to identify areas for improvement, emerging trends, and the evolving demands of the job market.

Through student participation, the FSCR aims to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility in your own learning journey. We firmly believe that by involving you as partners, the FSCR will bridge the gap between faculty members and students, promoting effective communication and collaboration. It will also help our faculty members understand your perspectives, expectations, and learning preferences, while simultaneously helping you understand the academic considerations and constraints involved in curriculum development. FSCR dates have been announced, and notifications are being sent to students by all Schools of Studies

We encourage all of you to seize this opportunity and collaborate with the institution to create enriching learning experiences. Your active involvement in the ACCP and FSCR will be crucial in shaping the curriculum, enhancing your learning journey, and ensuring you receive a holistic education that meets your needs. Together, we can cultivate an educational environment that empowers you to succeed and prepares you for the future.
