General Rules and Regulations:

  • Period of Study:
    The required period of study in the faculty to obtain a B.Sc. degree is five academic years. It starts with a preparatory year, which is general and common for all students. Specialization follows from first year according to the tables of the curricula .

  • Exemption from a course:
    A student may be exempted from the attendance of some courses, other than those of the final year, if he produces evidence of attending equivalent courses in another recognized university faculty or scientific institute. Also, a student may be exempted from examinations of some such courses if he produces evidence of successfully passed equivalent examinations in a university or scientific institute recognized by the university. Exemption will be issued by a resolution of the university president after the approval of students affairs council upon the proposal of the faculty council and the recommendation of the department council or the relevant departments councils, without breaching the ruling of article (36) of the universities organization law.

  • Practical Training:
    Each department will prepare a scheme for practical training for its first, second and third year students during the summer vacation for at least three weeks annually inside or outside the faculty. This training is to be exercised under the supervision of members of staff within the available facilities.

  • Attendance Policy:
    Promotion and B.Sc. degree examinations are held at the end of each semester in all courses the student has studied in his class and in referred courses from previous classes, according to the tables given in his STUDY PLAN. Upon the request of the relevant department councils, the faculty council issues a resolution prohibiting the student to sit for the examination in the courses not satisfying 75% attendance. In this case the student is considered to have failed in the courses he has been prohibited from sitting their examination unless he provides an excuse acceptable to the faculty council. In such a case the student is considered absent with acceptable excuse.

  • Graduation Project:
    The fourth year students are required to prepare and submit their final graduation project. The relevant departmental councils select the topics of the project. An extra period of four weeks after the final examinations is devoted for all specializations to work on the project. Moreover, the second semester is dedicated for the project for the architectural students in both architecture section and the urban planning and design section.

  • Examinations:

    1. The student is considered successful if he passes the examinations in all courses of his class.

    2. The student is promoted to the next higher level if he fails in not more than two subjects of his class or from lower classes.

    3. In addition to the two subjects mentioned in the pervious item, the student who fails in two subjects in humanities and social sciences, whether from his class or from lower classes, is admitted to the transfer to the consecutive higher level. Passing successfully in all courses before obtaining the B.Sc. degree is a prerequisite.

    4. The referred student has to sit the examination in the courses in which he has failed together with the students studying the same courses. The student gets a pass grade when he passes the examination successfully. In case the student was considered absent with acceptable excuse in a course, he gets the actual grade.

  • Supplementary Exams:
    Supplementary examinations are to be held yearly in October for the fourth year students failing in at most two courses from their class or from any lower level, in addition to the courses in humanities and social studies the students have failed in them. However, the project has no supplementary examination.

  • Total Marks:
    If the examination in one course includes a written paper as well as practical or oral examination, the total mark in this course consists of the sum of the written, practical, oral and the year’s work. The student who absents himself in the written examination is considered absent in the course and no mark is recorded for it.

  • Academic Standings:
    The grades of the successful student in a course and in the general grade are evaluated as follows.

    • Distinction : from 85% of the total mark and upwards.
    • Very good : from 75% to less than 85% of the total mark.
    • Good : from 65% to less than 75% of the total mark
    • Pass : from 50% to less than 65% of the total mark
    The grades of a failing student in a course is estimated in one of the following grades:
    • Weak : from 30% to less than 50% of the total mark
    • Very weak : less than 30% of the total mark.

    The B.Sc. general grade for students is based on the cumulative marks obtained during all the years of study. The students are then arranged serially according to their cumulative sum. The student is awarded an honor degree if his cumulative sum is distinction or very good provided that he gets a grade not less than very good in any class of study other than the preparatory year. Moreover, he should have not failed in any examination he has sat in any class other than the preparatory year.
