What is GPA?
The idea of assessing students' grades according to an accumulative basis has emerged since the late 1970s, specifically when the first evaluation process and conducting oral and written examinations were applied at the University of Cambridge
in 1972, which is the second oldest university in English speaking countries. Then, the concepts of assessing students' grades evolved to its current method. It is internationally known as GPA, which stands for "Grade Point Average".
How to Calculate GPA?
To calculate the grade points for each course, the points of the grade are multiplied by the number of credit hours for that course.
The total points of semester course points obtained by the student are calculated as the sum of semester course points that he studied in that semester.
The GPA for any semester is calculated by dividing the total points obtained by the student in the semester by the total number of credit hours registered in by the student.
The GPA is calculated at the end of each semester and upon graduation as a result of dividing the sum of all the points of the courses that the student passed by the total credit hours of these courses.
The honors degree is awarded to the student who gets a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or more in every academic semester, on the condition that he has never failed any course during his study in the Institute.
We'll start calculating your GPA in three simple steps:
We substitute the grade for its corresponding point values in each course.
We calculate the average points for each course according to the following formula: (Course points = grade points x number of credit hours )
We collect the average points of all courses and divide them by the total credit hours for the whole semester.
The result is your GPA for the current semester.
Student's methods of Assessment
The grades of each course are distributed in percentages to semester works that include researches, reports, and sudden quizzes…etc. oral, practical examinations, the first-term exam, and the final written exam.
Each course has a midterm exam and a written exam at the end of the semester. The study list determines the results of these examinations, the grades of the year’s work, and any other tests, according to the nature of each course.
To be considered successful, the student is required to obtain at least 60% of his total grades in the course, and to get at least 30% of the marks of the final written examination.
The student must attend at least 75% of the total hours of contact for the course in order to be allowed to attend the final exam of the course.
The student fails in the course if he gets less than 60% of the course grades or is denied the final exam due to exceeding the absence or fraud rate... etc., or he did not attend the final exam without providing an excuse accepted by the faculty or the
institute.
Some courses, such as practical training and seminars, can be evaluated on a pass / fail basis and are not included in the calculation of the GPA.

The student's performance is assessed in the courses according to the following table:

Rules and Mechanisms of Registering, Adding, or Deleting Courses
Student's Registration for courses is done electronically through Ibn Al Haytham program, as it is considered one of the most recent electronic registration systems used in international accredited universities, in an attempt of the institute
to facilitate the registration process for students.
The registration procedures for new students for each semester must be completely done during the week preceding the beginning of the study that semester (this doesn't include the summer semester). In cases of late registration after the time allowed,
the Board of Directors has the right to decide whether the student will be allowed to register or not.
The following regulations specify the conditions and mechanisms for registrating, adding and deleting courses:
A new student can register in both the first and second semesters in courses for no more than 18 credit hours and no less than 15 credit hours.
The student can register in the summer semester in courses whose hours do not exceed 6 credit hours as a maximum. The Institute Council may raise the maximum number of credit hours, provided that the number of courses registered by the student in the
summer semester is no more than three courses, if this leads to transfer the student to a higher level or to fulfill previous requirements for some courses that prevent him from fully registering in the next semester, or for the student
to graduate.
After registration, the student can add or delete courses in accordance with mechanisms and conditions decided by the Institute's Board of Directors and agreed with the followed regulations. Failure to complete the necessary procedures when deleting a
course leads to being considered a failed course.
A student with a GPA of 3.00 or more may register for more than in more than 18 credit hours with a maximum of 21 credit hours in the main semester following his obtaining this GPA, starting from level 100.
A Student whose GPA is 2.00 or less is not permitted to register for more than 12 credit hours in the main semester because of his GPA.
A student may delete a course without any academic effect until the end of the third week for the two main semesters (the first and the second semesters), and till the end of the second week in the summer semester. Then, the appropriate alternative is
to withdraw from the course. The deleted course does not appear in the transcript given to the student. After this date, the student takes the grade W (formal withdrawal/ officially withdrawn) in this course.
If the student desires to withdraw from the course or the semester for an excuse accepted by the Institute’s Board of Directors, he must deliver a withdrawal application request for Student Affairs Office and obtain the approval of the Institute’s Board
of Directors. He will repeat the courses in another semester of study and examination, and the courses withdrawn from them are not included in the calculation of the GPA.
The student gets a grade (F) if he stops attending without deleting the course.
A student is placed in a state of academic observation if he obtains a cumulative average (GPA) of less than 1.7 at the end of any major semester.
The Institute's Board of Directors are the responsible to announce the registration dates of courses before each semester, and students must review their choices with the academic advisors assigned to them. The approval of the academic advisor
is required to register or delete courses. In addition, the approval of the Institute's Board of Directors is required to register courses for students who fail to register on the announced dates.
Depending on the suggestion of the academic advisor, the student may delete a course and register in another course, or add another course within the limits of the academic load within two weeks from the start of study for the semester. Also,
depending on the suggestion of the academic advisor, the student can withdraw from a course during the first six weeks without registering for other courses.
Suspending the registration and Cases of Dismissal :
