The following table provides a summary of the total number of graduates from Engineering and Petroleum Faculty from its inception until the academic year 2023–2024

The academic year begins in September each year, and the study period extends for 32 weeks annually, with 16 weeks allocated to each semester.

• A student is considered officially registered at the Faculty upon submitting the required documents in accordance with the admission criteria and paying the prescribed fees. The student is then issued a registration number.
• The student must renew their registration within the specified period at the beginning of each academic year; otherwise, they will be considered unregistered.
• • An accepted student is issued an identification card bearing their registration number, name, major, and personal photo.

All students must carry their ID cards on campus and during examinations and present them upon request by authorized personnel. The card must be returned upon graduation or withdrawal from the university.

A student has the right to withdraw from the college under the following conditions:

• The student or an officially authorized representative must submit a withdrawal request to the Dean.
• The student must settle all financial and material obligations to the university and obtain clearance from relevant departments using the designated form.
• A withdrawing student is not entitled to a refund of any paid fees.
• The student will be given back their original documents submitted upon admission.

Students must pay their tuition fees within the deadlines set by the university. Late payments will incur financial penalties in addition to the original fees.

• Attending lectures for each course is mandatory.
• Absences are counted from the first day of the semester.
• A student is barred from the final exam if their attendance falls below 75% of lectures and practical sessions for any course and is considered to have failed that course.
• The Dean may accept a valid excuse for missing an exam if supported by official or medically certified documentation.
• A student who misses an exam with an accepted excuse but does not attend the make-up exam will be considered to have failed the course and will not retain their coursework grades.

A student is considered to have failed a course in the following cases:

• Absence exceeding 25% of lectures and practical sessions.
• Scoring less than 50% in the total of coursework and final exam in theoretical courses (except in the Faculty of Medicine, where the minimum is 65%).
• Scoring less than 35% in the practical component.
• Missing the final exam without a valid excuse.

A student may advance to the next level with a maximum of three failed courses; otherwise, they must repeat the year.

Academic Performance During Repetition:

• The student must retake failed courses, attend lectures, and sit for all assessments; otherwise, they will be marked absent.
• The student will be awarded the actual grade earned in the repeated course.

Any changes to the academic curriculum will apply to repeating students starting from the level they are repeating.

A student may be dismissed in the following cases:

• If their admission does not comply with general admission regulations or if required documents are missing.
• If it is discovered post-transfer that the student was previously dismissed for disciplinary reasons.
• If the student is absent for more than 50% of the first-year courses without a valid excuse.
• If the student remains in the same academic level for more than two years.
• If the student exceeds the maximum allowed study period (standard duration plus half), unless granted an extension by the University Council.
• If the student fails to reactivate their enrollment after a suspension exceeding one academic year.
• If the student is caught cheating more than once in the same exam session.
• If a disciplinary decision is issued for dismissal.

Transfers are governed by the university’s official guidelines:

• The student must meet the faculty’s requirements, including available seats and selection criteria.
• A student may transfer between majors within the same faculty only once.
• The receiving department will evaluate the student’s academic record and determine which courses are transferable.
• If the student is required to complete more than four courses after evaluation, they may not advance to the next level.
• First-year students may not transfer until they complete the first academic level.
• The student’s admission type must match the system of the original major.

A student may temporarily suspend their enrollment under the following conditions:

• Submit a suspension request to the Dean at least two weeks before final exams.
• Provide a valid justification for the suspension.
• Suspension is not allowed in the first academic level or for transferred students unless they have completed at least one successful semester (exceptions may be considered).
• International students may not suspend enrollment if prohibited by scholarship or admission regulations.
• Students repeating a level may not suspend enrollment.
• The maximum suspension period is two academic years (four semesters), whether consecutive or not.
• A student must request reactivation within three weeks of the start of the next semester; otherwise, they will be considered absent without excuse.

Suspension does not exempt the student from any prior financial obligations but preserves their academic standing. The suspension period is not counted toward the maximum study duration.

• Students may appeal exam results within two weeks of the result announcement to review their answer sheets and grade calculations.
• A refundable fee is required for the appeal, subject to confirmation of its validity.
• Appeal results must be announced within one month of the original result.

To improve academic standing, the following may be applied:

• An additional 2% may be added to a course grade if needed to pass.
• An additional 1% may be added to improve the course grade.
• An additional 10% may be added to a single course if it is the only one preventing graduation.

These added points do not count toward the cumulative GPA.

• They achieved at least a “Very Good” grade in all academic levels and did not receive a “Pass” in any major course.
• They did not fail or get barred from any course during their study.
• They completed graduation requirements within the minimum study period, excluding justified absences or suspensions.

• A student may sit for supplementary exams if they fail in 50% or fewer of their current level courses.
• Students failing in more than 50% must repeat the year.
• Students with failed courses from previous years may only retake them during the supplementary exam period at the end of the academic year.

Students from levels two to five may carry up to three failed courses to the next level. First-year students carrying more than three failed courses will be dismissed from the faculty.
