Academic Requirements and Regulations

Academic requirements and regulations manage the relationship between students and the University. To be eligible for undergraduate degree, students should abide by the following academic requirements and regulations:

1- Credit Hours:

Future University adopts a flexible credit hour system. The credit hour system is an educational measuring unit used to determine each course weight. It is equivalent to one weekly educational teaching theoretical hour and two laboratory hours.

2- Academic advising

Each Faculty assigns an academic advisor to each student who will guide him in the selection of courses and registration. In addition, the academic advisor would assist the student in managing any academic or social problem.

3- Registration

  • Undergraduate students usually register between 12-18 credit hours.
  • Based on previous academic record, the Dean, upon the advice of the academic advisor, might allow the student to register for additional courses.
  • The maximum load for the summer term is 9 credit hours only.
  • To register for a course with a prerequisite, the student should successfully finish the prerequisite.

4- Add/ Drop

Students, after consulting their academic advisors, might add/drop courses during the first two weeks at the beginning of each semester. Add/drop courses should be approved by the Dean. It is not possible to add/drop any course after the end of the drop and add period. Students should pay full attention to deadlines announced in the bulletin issued by the Office of the University Registrar.

The student may withdraw a course or more during the first 10 weeks of the semester provided that the number of remaining registered hours is not less than the minimum required for an academic semester. Otherwise the student would be considered a failing student in these courses.

5- Make Up Policy

If a student fails a University or Faculty requirement course, the student should repeat this course. In case of failure in elective course, student might repeat the same course or register in another elective course with the approval of the academic advisor.

If the student succeeds in the course, the F grade remains in his/ her academic record; however, the received higher grade would be calculated in his/ her GPA.

6- Class Attendance

  • Attendance is required in the educational process at Future University. The interaction between students and faculty staff inside the class room is essential.
  • The student who fails to secure 75% of all lectures and tutorials in a certain course is not permitted to set in the final exam and receives F grade for it.
  • The student who does not attend a mid-term exam without an acceptable excuse, is not given a make-up exam.

7- Incomplete

In exceptional cases, the student may not be able to complete work in a given course. In these cases, the student should submit a form that includes the following information:

  1. Reason for the incomplete.
  2. The material that is lacking.
  3. Action required for the removal of the incomplete.

The student will receive an I in that semester. In addition, arrangements with the instructor should be made to complete the course within one month after the beginning of the new academic session. Otherwise the student will receive F grade in that course.

8- Probation and Warning

Students who fail to maintain an average grade point of 2.0 will be placed on probation. In this case a letter is sent to the student's home address explaining what it takes to avoid dismissal from the university. The probation period gives the student the opportunity to improve the GPA but that period may last for no longer than 2 regular semesters. The student who fails to achieve the required standard by the end of the probation period will be considered disqualified for further enrolment in the university. The student who falls into this category must limit his/her academic load to 12 credit hours. Moreover the student will not be allowed to represent the university or get nominated in the student union.

9- Semester Withdrawal

  • The student has the right to withdraw from an academic semester within the withdrawal period announced in the academic calendar of the semester.
  • The student will be considered to have failed if he/she withdraws after the withdrawal period unless the student has a valid reason that is acceptable to the academic advisor, and the Dean.

10- Academic Integrity Policy

Academic dishonesty is not acceptable by all means in an academic institution or in any society. The University community emphasizes that the reputation of the institution depends on the integrity of both the faculty and students. Academic dishonesty includes but not limited to:

  • Cheating: Using unauthorized notes or aids or an information on an examination.
  • Plagiarism: Submitting material without properly referring to the authentic sources.
  • Multiple Submissions: Submitting identical papers in more than one course without prior permission by the instructor.
  • Obtaining or attempting to obtain unfair advantage over other students in the same course.
