• The term rate will be counted by calculated the points which the student has got and will be divided
by the number of the approved hours for the total curricula studied by the student in this semester.
Such curricula will be among the determined study plan. The accumulated rate will be calculated at

Such calculation is made by dividing the total points since his admission to the institute till the time of
calculating the accumulated rate into the total number of the approved hours. General Accumulated Rate
is calculated upon the fulfillment of the study requirements by the student in a similar manner. The student
has to repeat the study of the compulsory curricula if he fails any of them.

• In case the student fails at any optional curriculum, he can register at another optional curriculum after
consulting his academic guide within the framework of the study and the offered optional curricula. The

marks and the success grade he had. When the student enters the exam in a curriculum which he has
previously failed or was absent without an acceptable excuse, his success grade in such curriculum will
be calculated and will be added to his term and accumulated rate upon calculating his accumulated rate
or his general accumulated rate.

• The student’s status will be evaluated from his studying manner on the basis of his accumulated rate after
the end of each semester according to the following regulations:
  - Every student will be considered in an alerting status if he gets an accumulated rate less than
2.0.
  - The student’s enrollment will be erased from the registers of the institute if he gets an accumulated
rate less than 2.0 for two consecutive semesters throughout his study period at the institute.

• The student will have a training during the summer holidays for two times at least throughout the study
period for a period which is no less than four weeks per each time at one of the companies or industrial
incorporations which suits the general field of specialization of the student. The student will provide the

certificate will not be given to any students except those students who successfully implement the said
practical training.

• The student will select his studying division after the satisfaction of all curricula required to start studying at
this division and consulting the academic guide. The students will be distributed among the departments
