Islamabad (Online): Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has expedited mailing of books and other study material to its around seven lakh enrolled students in various parts of the country for the autumn 2016 semester.
\nAs per the instructions of the Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Shahid Siddiqui the employees of the Mailing Department are working in two shifts to ensure timely receipt of the books by the students, an University\u2019s official said.
\nThis aimed at giving enough study-time to the students enabling them to submit their course-assignments within stipulated time.
\nBooks along with allied material to thirty-thousand students of Matric, forty thousand students of FA and thirty thousand students of BA programs have already been dispatched. Efforts are being made that the whole mailing process is completed by the end of December, the official added.
\nThe process has been undertaken in collaboration with Pakistan Post, which has set up its permanent office here at the University\u2019s main campus. The Post office will ensure books-delivery within 36-hours of its dispatch.
\nA time-line has been fixed to ensure timely availability of books to the students. A new computerized tracking system has been introduced, facilitating its thousands of students to check books\u2019 mailing status.
\nA new website (mailing.aiou.edu.pk) has been launched for this purpose. A student could easily find out the books\u2019 mailing position by entering his roll number or admission\u2019s challan number in the mail box.
\nIn order to transform the mailing system, it was also decided to send text message to students on their cell phone as soon as books are dispatched on given postal address.
