Students' Academic Schedule:

• Course schedule for the students is a document which must be adhered to, literally as it is, because it helps the students in registration in their subjects by proving information on all the courses during the semester. The schedule also shows course-codes and classes of the subjects offered, as well as their names and the number of units and the days and timings and places where they are held;

• The minimum number of actual hours (units) that must be recorded in the course schedule is 12 hours, regardless of the student's GPA. The maximum limit of the number of actual hours is 18 hours. The increase in the number of actual hours can be recorded in the course schedule depending on a student's cumulative average;

• Non-freshmen Students need to register for tuition in their schedules by themselves and they must follow steps detailed at the University site "student-mail" which uses 'deletion and addition' property depending on the semester's academic calendar; the student must register during certain period of time. If the student fails to do so for some reasons, s/he must contact his/her college immediately for registration on time.

Each non-freshman student must register for his/her course-schedule during the first week of each semester. The last official date for course schedule registration is the end of the second week of each semester (the end of deletion and addition period);

• New students get their final schedules before the beginning of the academic semester. The freshmen students need not register their schedule by themselves; also, they have no right to change the academic schedule like, delete, add, or change the people of study materials.

Note That: The registration system does not accept a student's degree of any decision not registered in the academic schedule.
