period of 48 hours from the time of the final exam in line with
the approved academic calendar of the university and the last
day for submission of all grades. The Deanship of Admission and
Registration may make a written exception if needed.
6. The duration of the final exam is determined by the College Council,
ensuring it is not less than two hours.
7. Modifying the grade or score of a course for one or more students
is not possible without a clear and acceptable justification. Written
approval from the College Dean is required based on a report from
the course instructor and the recommendation of the Department
Chair. In such cases, the matter is referred to the concerned
committee, which in turn submits its recommendations to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs for the final decision.
Article 31
A student who is absent from a final examination will be given a zero
score for that examination. Their grade in the course will be calculated
based on the classwork score they obtained over the semester.
Article 32
If a student is unable to attend a final examination in any course due to
a compelling excuse, the College or Institute Council has the discretion
to accept their excuse and allow them to take a make-up exam.
The make-up exam must be taken prior to the end of the following
semester or the following academic year of the college or institute
that applies the academic year system. In such cases, the course grade
will be altered based on the result of the make-up exam, or a Fail (F)
grade will be recorded if they did not take the make-up exam.
