Registration

Registration dates are published in the academic calendar, whether it is for new students or continuing students, and the program board announces the courses available for registration and the maximum and minimum students allowed in each course.

With the help of his academic advisor, the student fills out the registration form, chooses courses and programs, prepares his academic schedule, fills out the relevant forms, and submits them to the Admission and Registration Department after approval by the academic advisor.

The student is considered registered if he has completed the registration requirements and paid the tuition fees. The Department of Admission and Registration must create an academic file for each student that contains all enrollment documents, as well as copies of his academic schedule, drop and addition forms, etc., and this file is updated at the end of each semester.

In the event that the number of students applying exceeds the maximum allowed, with no other lecturer available for the same course, coordination will be made between the applicants, and the priority for admission is as follows:

      1. Students who will graduate in this semester.

      2. Senior 2

      3. Senior 1

      4. Junior

      5. Sophomore

      6. Freshman

Registration of an academically alert student

A student who received an academic probation will be registered at the minimum academic load in the following semester, and this may not be exceeded except with the approval of the program’s board of directors, based on the recommendation of the academic advisor.

Prerequisite for a course

A student may not be registered in any course for which a previous requirement is required unless he has successfully passed that requirement, and this shall not be exceeded permanently.

scholastic load

The study load is the total number of credit hours registered by the student in a particular semester. This burden varies from one student to another according to his academic preparation and academic level, and the circumstances of the academic schedule. In all cases, the following is taken into account:

- Maximum enrollment of 21 credit hours for a student with a cumulative GPA greater than or equal to 3.00. (Unless the student can graduate in this semester, the number of hours may be increased up to 23 credit hours upon the recommendation of the academic advisor and the approval of the program board).

- Maximum enrollment of 18 credit hours for a student with a cumulative GPA of less than 3.00 and greater than or equal to 2.00. Unless the student's graduation will depend on this semester, the burden can be increased until it reaches 21 credit hours, upon the recommendation of the academic advisor and the approval of the program board.

- The minimum registration for any basic semester is 12 credit hours, unless the student has an insufficient number of hours left on his graduation, up to 12 hours, then this limit can be exceeded, and this semester is considered the last for the student.

- The maximum enrollment limit for the summer semester is two courses for any student, unless it leads to the student's graduation and with the approval of the academic advisor.

Periods of registration, deletion and addition

- The first week of the semester is devoted to registration, and the study begins immediately with the beginning of the second week.

- Students who fail to register on the specified dates may be allowed to register late after the approval of the program board and payment of delay fees.

- During the second week of study, the student may delete courses that he does not wish to complete in this semester, and request the addition of other courses that did not reach the maximum number of students allowed, and it is treated like late registration.

- The first week of the summer semester is allocated for deletion and addition, and the study begins on the third day of the first week.

- When accepting the deletion of any course, it does not appear in the student's academic record, and the student shall recover the expenses of the credit hours for this course.

- The student fills out the registration form and specifies the number of courses he wishes to register in, specify the names of those courses and their code, and add the names of additional courses to register in case he is refused registration in one of the basic courses he has chosen.

Register as a listener

Students are allowed to register as listeners, after the end of the basic registration period, in courses where there are still vacancies, according to the maximum limit set by the program’s board of directors for each course that grants a discount of 25% in this course and is not included in the calculation of its cumulative average.

Pulling out

- A student may withdraw from any course, after the approval of the academic advisor and course lecturer, from the third week until the end of the eighth week of the fall and spring semesters, and the end of the fourth week of the summer semester, taking into account the minimum academic load, and a grade “W” is given to him, provided He should not have exceeded the prescribed percentage of absence before the withdrawal, and these courses are not included in the calculation of the student's cumulative average.

- If the withdrawal is made after the specified period or after the number of allowed absences has been exhausted, he gets a grade of 'F' . In case that the student re-studies that course again in another semester, the grade he obtained in the repetition is calculated for him with a maximum of B+, and when calculating the cumulative average, only the last grade is calculated for him, provided that both grades are mentioned in the student’s academic record.

- When a student withdraws from any course, he does not refund any of the course fees.

Withdrawing from the semester

- A student may withdraw completely from the semester at the recommendation of the academic advisor and the approval of the College Council, provided that this does not exceed the end of the tenth week of the beginning of the first and second semesters, and the end of the fifth week of the beginning of the summer semester.

- A continuing student who did not attend the registration during the registration, drop and add periods is considered to have withdrawn from the semester.

- The College Council considers withdrawal requests submitted after the end of the period allowed in the previous paragraph, and the Council has the right to take the appropriate decision.

- The number of semesters a student withdraws from may not exceed four semesters, whether consecutive or separate, and the student will not be dismissed from the program.

- When a student registers in the semester following his withdrawal, he is treated as an academically warned student and is registered in the minimum number of hours.

Transfer of courses

Some of the courses that the student has studied and completed successfully at another university or other scientific institute may be transferred to the student’s record based on the student’s request and with the approval of the College Council and on the following conditions:

1. Those courses should be included in the program’s study plan.

2. The grade of the transferred course shall not be less than 2.0 out of a total score of 4.0.

3.The transfer of credit hours shall not exceed 25 of the total hours of the study program.

4. These courses must not have been used before in obtaining a degree in the same specialization.

5. The assessment of these courses is not included in the calculation of the cumulative average.

In case that the course is transferred from a college that uses a different assessment system, the College Council sets a method for calculating the equivalent number of points.

Transferred courses appear in the academic record with the addition of the symbol TC to indicate that the course was studied outside the college.

Student attendance

- The attendance of students is considered part of the educational process, and the student is supposed to attend all lectures, exercise classes, laboratories, workshops and training. If the percentage of his absence in any course reaches 20 of the total contact hours specified for the course, he will be warned academically.

- The student is not allowed to enter to the final exam for the course if his absence exceeds 25 hours of the total contact hours prescribed for the course without an excuse accepted by the program’s board of directors, and he is considered to have failed this course and is given a grade of 'F'.

Student's level
