3- If additional websites are required, they will be submitted to the students during the
semester. The addresses of those websites will be indicated in the handouts.

IX. Course Policies:

Class Attendance:
-A student should attend not less than 75 % of total hours of the subject; otherwise he will not
1.
be able to take the exam and will be considered as exam failure. If the student is absent due to
illness, he/she should bring a proof statement from university Clinic
Tardy:
2. - For late in attending the class, the student will be initially notified. If he repeated lateness in
attending class he will be considered as absent.
Exam Attendance/Punctuality:
3. - A student should attend the exam on time. He is Permitted to attend an exam half one hour
from exam beginning, after that he/she will not be permitted to take the exam and he/she will be
considered as absent in exam.
Assignments & Projects:
4. - The assignment is given to the students after each chapter; the student has to submit all the
assignments for checking on time.
Cheating:
5. - For cheating in exam, a student will be considered as fail. In case the cheating is repeated three
times during his/her study the student will be disengaged from the Faculty.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is the attending of a student the exam of a course instead of another student. If the
6. examination committee proofed a plagiarism of a student, he will be disengaged from the
Faculty. The final disengagement of the student from the Faculty should be confirmed from the
Student Council Affair of the university.
