Article 24
The College or Institute Council has the authority to evaluate and
recognize a course or set of courses taken by a student outside the
university based on recommendations from the Departments Councils
that offer the equivalent courses, provided that these courses are
similar or equivalent in syllabus and content. The equivalent courses
will be recorded in the student’s academic transcript. The University
Council determines the regulations governing this process, including
determining whether the grades earned in the recognized equivalent
courses should be included in the student’s Grade Point Average (GPA)
calculation in the academic transcript.
The Rule of Implementation for Article 24
The College Council has the authority to consider the equivalence of
a course or group of courses taken by a student outside the university.
This evaluation is based on recommendations from the Departments
Councils that offer the equivalent courses, provided that these courses
are similar or equivalent in syllabus and content. The equivalent
courses will be recorded in the student’s academic transcript under
the following conditions:
1. A maximum of 45 credit units (beyond the PYP) can be considered
for course equivalency.
2. The equivalent course must have been taught using the same
language as the corresponding course being taught at PSU. The
College Council may make an exception in certain cases if the
student studied the course at a university outside the Kingdom.
3. For a course to be considered equivalent, the student must have
achieved a minimum grade of (C) in that course.
