4. The student’s cumulative GPA at the previous institution must be at
               least (2.00) out of (4.00) or (3.00) out of (5.00).






            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.

                                                                                43
