****Class project: students will be asked to form groups of 3-5 students in order to analyze, design,

Missing Exams:

University regulations state that NO MAKE UP EXAMS WILL BE MADE unless a student has a well documented excuse such as personal injuries or death of a first degree relative, OTHERWISE a student gets ZERO in the missed exam. In case of an accepted excuse, student must setup a makeup exam date which must be within at most one week from the original exam date.

       الحضور والغياب

تؤكد سياسة الجامعة على التزام الطالب بحضور المحاضرات في بداية موعدها ومن اجل ذلك أضافت برنامج مراقبة الحضور والغياب إلى برنامج الزاجل وبطريقة الكترونية يتم فصل الطالب من المساق الذي يتجاوز عدد غيابا ته بدون عذر خطي موقع من الجهات الرسمية عن(6) ستة غيابات.

في حالة غياب مبرر على الطالب إحضار تقرير مكتوب ورسمي وتسليم نسخة منه لمدرس المساق في موعد لا يتجاوز اليوم الأول من الأسبوع الذي يلي الأسبوع الذي تغيب به الطالب.

 الطالب هو الذي يتحمل مسؤولية حرمانه من المساق في حال تجاهله لهذه القوانين.
