Education System

The system of study in the faculty is a credit hours system, in which courses are offered over two semesters per year, the duration of each semester is fifteen teaching weeks. Courses may, also, be offered in a summer semester of five teaching weeks duration. The Credit hour is an educational measuring unit for determining each course weight and it is equivalent to one weekly educational theoretical hour or laboratory of duration not less than two hours a week (unless otherwise stated in the educational plan) over the period of one semester.

The education plan requires the accomplishment of about 164 credit hours successfully for obtaining the bachelor degree in any of the faculty programs. Students can achieve the graduation requirements in eight regular educational semesters. Each program has proposed a plan that allows the fulfillment of these requirements. The flexibility of the credit hour system enables the students to increase or decrease the duration of these programs through exceeding the permissible registration of 9 to 12 credit hours per semester or through attending summer courses.

It should be noticed that exceeding the maximum or minimum number of credit hours is not allowed without the permission of the dean and the consultation of the academic advisor and is subject to the faculty regulations guide.

Registration Procedure

- Before the beginning of each semester, students should register the courses which they select, in specified templates designed especially for this purpose, at the date indicated by the faculty before the semester starts.
- The ordinary load for the semester ranges between 12-19 credit hours. Each department specifies the suitable load according to it's courses and rules. The maximum load of the summer semester is 7 credit hours.

- Excellent students (GPA ≥ 3.5) are allowed to register up to 21 credit hours. For this purpose, the approval of both the academic advisor and the Dean is needed.

- After the primary registration, students are allowed to cancel or remove courses, during the first three weeks of the semester. This may be achieved after the advice of the academic advisor, through specialy designed templates provided by the faculty.

Course Withdrawal and Addition

- The student should follow the instruction of the faculty's registration office for the addition of (or withdrawal from) any course that had been previously registered.

- Students are not allowed to add (or withdraw from) any course without the permission of the Dean after the approval of the academic advisor.

- It is not possible to add any course to the student's time table after the end of the registration period.

-  After registration, the student may withdraw from a course or more during the first 12 weeks provided that the number of the remaining registered hours are not less than the minimum requirement of the semester. In this case, the student is not considered a fail student in these courses.

- It is not allowed for a student to withdraw from a course after the allowed period (the first 12 weeks of the semester) without an execuse accepted by the faculty council.

Attendance and Absence

- Attendance of lectures, tutorials and labs is an essential issue in the educational process in the faculty, as the student gets benefits from the interaction inside the class room between him and the staff members ,teaching assistants and colleagues. Therefore, students should attend regularly so that their grades are not affected by their absences.

- Students that do not attend a term exam without an acceptable excuse to the academic advisor and the course's instructor agrees upon are not given a make-up exam.

- Students are allowed to withdraw from a course if the absence ratio exceeds 25% of the lectures, during the first 12 weeks of the semester, but if the absence ratio exceeds 25 % after the first 12 weeks, students are not allowed to withdraw the course, attending lectures or attending the final term exam .The student gets grad (F) in this course. The students have to be warned at least once before preventing them from attending the final exam.

- The final exam may be delayed for a student till the beginning of the next semester if he/she has an acceptable excuse. In this case, the student's semester work marks are kept for him , and he is allowed to attend the final exam at the beginning of the next semester, and gets a final grade (incomplete) in this course in the semester in which he/she did not attend the exam.

The final grades are recorded on the student's permanent record at the Office of the University Registrar.

The following grading system is used: 

Grade Range Points
A From 90% to 100% 4.0
A- From 85 to < 90% 3.7
B+ From 80 to <85% 3.3
B From 75 to < 80% 3.0
B- From 70 to < 75% 2.7
C+ From 65 to < 70% 2.3
C From 60 to < 65% 2.0
