Flexible Credit Hour System

University Study System

The University has adopted the Credit Hour System as its primary mode of study. This system is now widely implemented by international universities, the majority of universities within the region, and a growing number of local institutions. This adoption was informed by several factors, notably including engagement and benchmarking with local, regional, and international universities, as well as the inherent attributes of the credit hour system itself.

The Credit Hour System is generally structured around a curriculum comprised of individual courses, each assigned a specific number of credit hours. A credit hour is typically defined as the equivalent of one academic lecture hour or two practical laboratory hours delivered per week over the duration of a single semester.

To earn a degree in a specific field of specialization, students are required to complete a designated number of credit hours, as outlined in the program’s study plan.

Additional conditions and controls laid down by the relevant colleges and specialized councils at the university

A student may be exempted from studying the courses that he previously passed before enrolling at the university if these courses are equivalent to the courses of the study plan of the new specialization and taking into account the conditions and controls laid down by the concerned boards at the university and in compliance with the Higher Education Council Resolution 310, and the student is granted in the course that is equivalized    (P = Pass), but this is not calculated  in the GPA of a student account average.

Academic Warning Policy

The Academic Warning Policy is designed to support students whose academic performance falls below the university’s required standards. Students who receive an academic warning are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor, review their study plan, and take appropriate steps to improve their performance. Continued failure to meet the required academic standards may result in additional academic actions in accordance with university regulations.
