The Sylhet Agricultural University students on Thursday called off their demonstrations that they were staging since June 22, demanding review of the university's credit system.
The university vice-chancellor confirmed that the students joined academic activities after ending their 15-day agitation.
Vice-chancellor Shahidullah Talukdar told New Age that he held separate meetings with the students and teachers on Tuesday and Wednesday over the issue.
After a successful meeting, the students returned to classes, he said.
The students' leaders said the vice-chancellor assured them that no student would face harm due to the introduction of the new credit system that was demanded reviewed by the students.
They also said the vice-chancellor told them that the authorities concerned would discuss the issue in the university academic meeting and find out a solution to the students' worry over the new system.
The bachelor's first and second semester students went on demonstrations, including class and examination boycott, protesting at a credit system that was introduced in 2009-10 academic year.
According to the system, a student must obtain pass marks in 80 per cent of his credit courses of a semester if he wants to get a promotion to next semester.
The students demanded the new system should be reviewed and the pass limit should be reduced to 60 per cent.
