Semester Organization
The student will take only one course per month, for 15 credits per semester, equivalent to five (5) courses per semester. The course should be completed by the end of the month with a final exam on the last working day of the month. 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 takes 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. A decision will be made in consultation with the faculty members. Then, the student will arrange with the instructor. The same process will apply when a student wants to take more than a month to finish a course.
