Education and Study Regulations shall be implemented while abiding by the following rules:
Grading System
In order to decide whether a student's educational situation under academic supervision, Cumulative GPA is calculated at the end of each semester using the total points the student has acquired in all the courses he registered for up to the time of calculation, and dividing the result by the total number of registered credit hours.
If a student fails to attend the final exam without an acceptable excuse, his grade shall be a zero.
Students are not allowed to repeat courses that have been studied over more than one full academic year.
If a student repeats a course he finished with success to improve his grade, he gets the highest grade he achieved.
If a student gets an (F) or a conditioned pass (D) in any course, whether mandatory or elective, the grade is recorded in the student's permanent report and is included in calculating both semester and cumulative GPA.
A student must repeat the courses he fails. If he succeeds, the maximum grade shall not be more than 3.00 B (Very Good). If the student fails to get the required Cumulative GPA, he will have to repeat the courses with a conditioned pass until he reaches an average of 2.00 or more.
If a student fails in the repeated course exam, the failing grade shall be calculated in the GPA for this semester only. The credit hours for a repeated course or any other reason shall be calculated in the cumulative GPA only once.
If a student gets an "incomplete" grade in any course, he must arrange to change it before the beginning of the first week of the following semester or else he will be considered withdrawn.
The General grade is set according to the following Cumulative Grades:
