Semester Registration

At the beginning of the registration period, students must check with their academic advisor (during the allocated registration sessions) to select their courses for the forthcoming semester. The academic advisor must sign the registration forms. Students must then present these forms to the Registration Office in order to collect their invoices and subsequently settle all outstanding fees at the bank (as designated by BAU).

Academic Advisor

The academic advisor is a faculty member who has been assigned the responsibility of mentoring and coaching a group of students as well as assisting them in course selection and any other issues or problems encountered throughout their study period. The academic advisor also endorses the registration as well as the add and/or drop forms.

Academic Coordinator

The academic coordinator is a faculty member appointed by the faculty dean and assigned the responsibility of organizing the registration process and its requirements as well as the responsibility of facilitating the communication between the faculty, the academic advisors and the university administration office regarding all academic matters.

Add and/or Drop

1.      Students may cancel, add, and/or drop any course before the deadline, which is the 2^nd week of any semester only after obtaining the approval of their academic advisor.

2.      Students may cancel the full semester registration if approved by the faculty council. However, if the full semester registration is cancelled over two successive semesters, the faculty council must approve the re-enrollment.

3.      Students can withdraw from any course before the withdrawal deadline (the 10^th week for the fall and spring semesters, and the 5^th week for the summer semester). A grade of “W” for that course will appear on the student transcript and will be excluded from the CGPA.

4.       If the withdrawal is done after the withdrawal deadline period, a grade of “WF” will appear on the student transcript indicating failure in the course and it will be included in the CGPA.

5.      Students must settle all outstanding fees at the start of the semester. In the event of canceling the registration of any course during the first 2 weeks of the fall and spring semesters and the first week of the summer session, students are entitled to a full refund. Otherwise, the following rules apply:
