STUDY SYSTEM

Article 5

Undergraduate study follows the academic level system.
Undergraduate study comprises a minimum of eight levels.
The duration of an academic level is one semester.
Students are promoted successively from one academic level to another, in
accordance with the promotion rules.

The Rules of Implementation for Article 5
 The student is responsible for understanding and following academic rules
and regulations including graduation requirements. Guidance and assistance
from academic advisors does not relieve the student of this responsibility.
Therefore, every student should be thoroughly familiar with all academic
regulations pertaining to the granting of academic degrees. He/She regularly
should familiarize him/herself with new academic regulations; in this regard
he/she may consult the department chairman or the academic advisor
regarding these regulations.
 The financial rules and regulations stated in Appendix D must be followed.
 The University assigns an academic advisor to each student for assistance in
matters that relate to academic progress, such as:
a. Selecting the academic major that best suits the student’s preferences and
capabilities.
b. Understanding and interpreting the academic regulations.
c. Informing the student of the sequence of the required and elective courses
and suggesting suitable elective courses.
d. Following up on the academic progress of the student.
e. Assisting in early registration and the various stages of registration.
f. Assisting in course substitution, if and when necessary.

The academic advisor is chosen from the faculty members of the department or the
college. The academic advisor for the PYP students is the director of the PYP or
someone appointed by him/her or acting on his/her behalf.

Registration Procedures:

Early Registration
Early registration for the courses taken in the second semester starts at the mid-
point of the first semester; early registration for the courses in the summer and the
first semester of the coming year starts at the mid-point of the second semester.
Early registration is required of all students enrolling in that semester. A student
is allowed to change his/her early registration course choices, provided he/she
consults with his/her academic advisor.
