Log In with Your Credentials
Enter your AIOU Student ID as your username and your registered password. New students: your initial password is typically your CNIC number (without dashes). Change your password immediately after first login for security.

Check Your Grades
Your assignment marks appear in the gradebook section of each course after your tutor marks them (typically 4–6 weeks after submission). Examination marks appear in the gradebook after results are officially published.

Download Roll Number Slip
