I. Course Policies:
Class Attendance:
1 - The student should be attending not less than 75% of total contact hours of the subject,
otherwise he will not able to take exam and be considerd as an exam failure. If the student
is absent due to illness, he/she should bring an approved statement from university Clinic.
Tardy:
2 - For lateness in attending the class, the student will be initially notified. If he repeates late
in attending class he will be considered absent.
Exam Attendance/Punctuality:
3 - The student should attend the exam on time. He is permitted to attend the exam half one
hour from exam beginning, after that he/she will not be permitted to take exam and he/she
is considered absent in the exam.
Assignments & Projects:
4 - In general one assignment is given after each chapter of a course. The student should
submit the assignment on time, mostly one week after giving the assignment
Cheating:
5 - For cheating in exam, the student is considered as failure. In case the cheating is repeated
three times during study the student will be disengaged from the Faculty
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is the attending of the student the exam of a course instead of other student. If
6 the examination committee proved 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 Affair Council of the university.
Other policies:
7 - The mobile phone is not allowable to be used during class lecture. It must be switched
off, otherwise the student will be ordered to leave the lecture room.
