Students enrolled in the first semester of their study programme are given pre-selected courses; all other students may select their own courses subject to their scheme of studies and the limitations prescribed in the rules below.
The credit hour limits are as below:
i. For the first and second semesters a maximum of 15 credit hours are allowed
ii. For the third and subsequent semesters up to the seventh semester a maximum of 21 credit hours are allowed
iii. For the eighth and any extra subsequent semesters a maximum of 21 credit hours are allowed; however, if the degree programme would be completed in that semester, a maximum of 30 credit hours are allowed.
Students taking less than the course load prescribed by their scheme of studies will require extra semesters to complete the curriculum; in such cases they will also have to bear the additional cost.
During a study program, students may attempt to improve a "D" grade course only once.
