Page 33 - Rules of Implementation of the Undergraduate Study and Examinations By- Law

Article 15
The College or Institute Council, or any other authorized body delegated
by it, may remove the (DN) and grant permission for the student to
take the final exam, provided that the student presents an excuse
that is accepted by the Council. The University Council establishes the
minimum attendance percentage of lectures, laboratory sessions, or
training from the total contact hours of the course. This applies to all
teaching methods, including in-person, online, or according to the
teaching methods specified in the study plan.

The Rule of Implementation for Article 15

If a student receives a grade of (DN) in a course due to the number
of absences in the lectures and practical lessons specified for the
course, whether these absences were excused or unexcused, then
the (DN) cannot be removed, and the student cannot be allowed to
take the final exam. However, the Vice President for Academic Affairs
or their delegate may grant an exception to this rule based on the
recommendations of the College Dean and the Dean of Student
Affairs, in accordance with the procedures followed at the university.

Article 16
A student has the option to withdraw for a level, semester, or year
without being considered to have failed the courses. To do so, the
student presents an acceptable excuse to the authorized body specified
by the University Council, provided that the withdrawal period is
counted within the period necessary to complete the graduation
requirements. The conditions and procedures for implementing this
by-law are determined by the rules of implementation, which provide
further guidance on how the withdrawal process is carried out.
