  1. To improve the student’s situation, what is stated in the unified regulations for student affairs is followed.
  2. To calculate the student’s cumulative GPA upon graduation for each course, the credit hours are calculated at the rate of fifty points for each theoretical hour (one credit hour is equivalent to one theoretical hour or two laboratory or clinical hours), and every two hours in the practical aspect equals one credit hour..
  3. Fractions of the grades obtained by the student in any course are rounded to the nearest whole number.
  4. If the student succeeds in a course after taking his/her test for the second time (without excuse), the minimum grade for the course (65%) will be recorded for him/her and his grade will be acceptable.
  5. Grades for the university semester or year are distributed as follows:
    • Grades for the year’s or university semester’s work for the course are (40%), (25%) are theoretical, and (15%) are practical..
    • The final exam grades for the course are (60%), (45%) theoretical, and (15%) practical..
    • In the case of courses that have practical or clinical aspects, the grade of the written tests is combined with the grade for the semester work, in addition to the grades for the practical or clinical part. In light of this, the total final grade for the student in each course is determined. If the student fails in one of the two parts of the course – the practical part or the theoretical part he/she is considered to have failed the course and must retake the entire course test.
  6. The student is considered absent if he does not attend the final examination of the course..
  7. Success in all courses up to the upper level is required, and the student’s annual grade is determined as follows :

    • The student remaining to repeat will be written to him/her instead of grades with the phrase “remaining to repeat” and the number of remaining courses in which he/she will be mentioned. He/she may take the re-sit test with these courses, and if he/she does not pass, he/she will remain athis/her level with the courses he/she has to take, as well as the courses in which he/she obtained an acceptable grade of the same level, and he/she will be considered dismissed. From the faculty if he/she fails for two years at the same level, taking into account the total period of time the student is allowed to continue in the faculty.
  8. The student’s graduation estimate is calculated cumulatively by summing the grades he/she obtained in all the courses he/she is required to pass in order to graduate according to the credit hours for each course (from the first level to the final level) and dividing the sum of the sum by the total final grades for the aforementioned courses.
