The System of Levels
The system of study divides the academic year into two main semesters, and there may also be a short semester, half the length of a normal semester. The graduation requirements for attaining an academic degree are distributed between levels according to the study plan promulgated by the Senate of the University.
Article Seven:
The Senate has enacted administrative procedures to regulate progress from one level to another, taking into consideration the following:
- The subjects for each specialisation are distributed across levels. A specific number of subjects are stipulated for each level, according to the requirements of the promulgated study plan.
- Students whose progress is not impeded by failure in any academic subjects are registered in the next level of the curriculum, proceeding from the lowest level upward, level by level, according to the approved study plan.
- Students experiencing academic difficulties will be registered with the minimum academic load stipulated for each semester, while taking into consideration the following points:
- There should be no scheduling conflicts between subjects.
- Prerequisites must be satisfied for the subjects the students’ wishes to enroll for.
- Enrolling in a class of a higher level will not be permitted except when it is necessary to complete a minimum academic load for that semester.
