Dear students,

Our university is launching a new integrated academic system Academia, which will combine Registrar, Moodle, Bursar’s, and other services in one platform. The system will be accessible on your phone and will include features like timetable, marks, attendance, and notifications.

Right now, the implementation team is on a two-week on-site visit in Kazakhstan to configure the system according to our university’s specific needs. The Ministry of Education will also be providing feedback during this stage.

The first modules to be integrated include Admissions, Registrar, and Bursar’s Office. The project is planned to be completed by September 2026.

We are now collecting feedback from students to identify and propose features and improvements that could be included in the new system. While not every suggestion may be implemented, your input will help guide the configuration process and ensure the system reflects our community’s needs.

Thank you for your input!
Ministry of Education

Dear Students,

We would like to clarify the information shared in our previous announcement regarding fee-based retakes.

The earlier message mentioned that the policy would not apply in the Spring 2026 semester. We want to confirm now that currently enrolled Graduate and Undergraduate students, including this year’s freshmen, will not be subject to fee-based retakes: not in Spring, not in the Summer semester, and not in the following academic year.

The fee-based retake policy will apply only to students admitted starting Fall 2026.

Thank you for your understanding.

and don’t worry, we won’t change the text again!

Best regards,
Ministry of Education
