Semester Organization

The student will take only one course per month, for 15 credits per semester, equivalent to five (5) courses per semester.

After completing the current course, the student will start a new course as scheduled and will have one month to complete this new course with an exam at the end of the month, as mentioned above. A student will be allowed to take more than one course per month based on his ability. S/he will have to send a written request to the dean of her/his school.
