Introduction

College of Natural Health and Sciences (CNHS) offers a wide range of courses

to meet the needs of a major in Environmental Science and Sustainability and in Public Health

and Nutrition, and a minor in Applied Psychology. In addition, it offers the Bachelor of Science

degree major in Psychology and Human Services; it is done jointly with the College of

Education. A growing research and outreach program is designed to focus on national needs in

the United Arab Emirates, and faculty from Natural Science and Public Health also contribute to

the Executive Masters in Health Care Administration.

Mission

(CNHS) course offerings aim to build a solid scientific foundation with particular focus on

environmental science and sustainability, psychology, and public health and nutrition. The

mission of the department is to provide a high quality learning experience, to nurture effective

health and environment professionals, and to create opportunities for research and development

that support national goals in health and environmental science.

Academic Program

The majors prepare graduates for careers in the rapidly developing U.A.E. health sector, as

well as environmentally-related areas. Graduates from the programs have a strong scientific

background combined with an excellent understanding of social and cultural factors affecting

the environment, as well as public health matters. They are able to assume managerial and

leadership roles in improving the health of U.A.E. citizens and have a good understanding of

important global health and environmental issues.

(CNHS) Curriculum

The (CNHS) curriculum explores health, illness, and the environment from a wide range of

perspectives. It combines biological and other sciences, social sciences, environmental


analysis, and other disciplines to prepare future professionals who will be able to provide

leadership and effective management. The two science-based majors in CNHS complete a

common core of courses in science, and all majors in (CNHS) include an internship and

senior project.


Admission Criteria

For students entering the baccalaureate program the College requires that the applicant for

admission to the major must fulfill certain requirements for acceptance.

(CNHS) offers three degrees, and the entry requirements differ for these degrees as follows:

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Sustainability & Bachelor of Science

in Public Health and Nutrition:

Satisfactory completion of 36 semester credit hours or more

Attainment of a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher

Achievement of C- or better in COL 110, COL 111, COL 140, COL 145, COL 185,

COL 240, COL 260

Achievement of passing grades (D or better) in COL 105, COL 120, COL 130, COL

135, COL 150, COL 155, COL 220, COL 230, COL 255 and COL 270

COL 260 and COL 270 may be scheduled for semester three, four, or five.

Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Human Services (joint with College of

Education):

Satisfactory completion of 42 semester credit hours or more

Attainment of a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher

Achievement of C- or better in COL 110, COL 111, COL 140, COL 145, COL 240

150, COL 155, COL 185,COL 220, COL 230, COL 255, COL 260 and COL 270

COL 260 and COL 270 may be scheduled for semester three, four, or five.


Majors

Environmental Science and Sustainability

Students in Environmental Science and Sustainability have an interest in science and

environmental issues. The degree concentrates on topics involving environmental

sustainability, an established ideology that promotes environmentally-conscious living and

development. Courses will discuss local and global environmental topics from a social,

political, economic and ethical perspective, giving students the necessary comprehensive

approach in dealing with the UAE’s complex environmental challenges. This is driven by

the changing 21st century landscape, where climate change, the need for efficient use of

limited natural resources including energy and water, biodiversity loss, and deteriorating

living conditions involving transportation, food safety, health and other issues demand

environmentally friendly solutions.

Courses will impart knowledge and skills in all basic sciences, and research, as well as the

analysis of environmental and sustainability problems, and the development of strategies to

address these.

The study of the environment requires a solid understanding of the sciences, and this

preparation could be used for graduate medical studies as students will be able to achieve all

requirements for pre-med, provided that the elective outside the major is a psychology

course. Career paths are therefore flexible and can either lead to environmental careers, or to

graduate studies such as medicine, or any other discipline which requires solid scientific

preparation. Careers in environmental science include environmental protection,

environmental management, sustainable technologies, environmental health, environmental

science, sustainability science, or energy science.

Public Health and Nutrition

The focus of this degree is the health status of individuals and communities and the wide

variety of policies and activities that are designed to create awareness of health issues,

prevent illness, and improve health status. Poor health and disease are major concerns in the

U.A.E and the number of U.A.E residents suffering from chronic diseases is expected to

continue to rise. As a result, there is a need for public health and nutrition specialists who

can deal with the rising incidence of non- communicable diseases in the U.A.E. Knowledge

and skills are developed that enable graduates to work effectively with decision-makers,

professionals, and others in the community to analyze public health and nutrition issues in

different settings and create and manage programs to enhance health and well- being.

In addition to a solid basis in science, students will learn essential practical skills to allow

them to take up employment in the diverse areas of the health sector with specific emphasis

on public health and nutrition. These will include the study of the role of nutrition in disease

prevention, clinical nutrition and therapeutic diets, food safety, community health and

nutrition and nutrition and health counseling, as well as health education and health

promotion. Career opportunities exist in a wide range of settings that include local hospitals,

government ministries, clinics, schools, and private sector organizations. For students who

wish to pursue a clinical career in hospitals, the incorporation of a clinical internship, lasting

6-12 months, is necessary after completion of the degree.

Senior Projects

Final year students undertake the Senior Project. It is an exciting opportunity to combine

theoretical knowledge gained from coursework with the practical experience obtained during the

internship. Students are encouraged to perform an innovative piece of research or project, which

is supervised by experienced faculty.

HSC 466 (Research Methods) prepares students for the Senior Project. Students in PHN

program will get their senior project advisors allocated already in the semester before they are

actually doing their senior project. This basically means that they will get their supervisor

already when they are taking HSC466 (research methods).

Course Load

The student in the baccalaureate program is required to maintain full-time student status at all

times by registering in at least 15 credit hours a semester. The student may not make a change

in his/her schedule that reduces their course load below 15 credit hours or full time load except

for compelling academic reasons and with prior written approval from the Chief Academic

Officer. With the exceptions noted below, there is no part-time student status at Zayed

University.

Important Notes:

TGPA is the Term (or semester) Grade Point Average

CGPA is the Cumulative (or overall) Grade Point Average

You can take advice on how to project TGPA and CGPA for a running semester from your

Academic Advisor or your Assistant Dean.

Reduced Course Load (less than 15 credits hours)

Academic Standing

and Status Definitions and allowed credit hours

Good Standing

If CGPA & TGPA are both at 2.00 and above.

CGPA 2.49 or below Maximum 16 credit hours allowed

CGPA Between 2.50 and

above Maximum 19 credit hours allowed

Final year students with

CGPA 3.00 and above

Course Overload allowed (above 19

credit hours)

Academic Warning

If TGPA is below 2.00 but CGPA is still 2.00 and above.

16 credits allowed

Probation

If CGPA falls below 2.00.

Maximum 12 credits allowed

Fresh Start Status

Readmission after academic dismissal with a previous Special

Probation

Maximum allowed credits hours depends on the student’s Academic

Standing


Only permitted for students in the final year, provided it includes all remaining courses required

for completion of the degree.

Exceptional Circumstances for reduced load

The student must be in a good academic standing.

The expectation will be for one semester only.

Permission will only be considered for documented medical or family/personal

emergencies or chronic medical conditions.

The request for a reduced load should be submitted to the college’s Assistant Dean, and

must be approved by the University Registrar.

Withdrawal from a course (W)

Students who anticipate difficulty in a course despite their best effort may petition to

withdraw from the course for compelling academic reasons until the end of the third

week (for term courses) and sixth week (for semester courses).

Students must still not be under-enrolled. Only students with special circumstances may

be allowed to have reduced-load.

Withdrawal from a course with failure (WF)

Students who don’t meet the deadline from dropping a course will be assigned WF,

which is equivalent to F grade.

Registration Suspension

Students may suspend registration two times, for a maximum of two semesters, during

their time at Zayed University.

If students miss the third semester of study, they will be withdrawn from the university.

Students may apply to suspend registration to the Assistant Dean of the College by

filling out the Registration Suspension Form.

You may only suspend registration during the first two weeks of the semester or term

(see Academic Calendar).

If you suspend your registration, your status is considered to be inactive.

Any requests for a third suspension must be approved by the Office of Enrolment

Management and the Assistant Dean of your college.

Advising students with special needs

We strongly believe students with special needs are entitled to equal chances and rights of being

admitted into the different college majors. The Assistant Dean will work directly with the

Accessibility Office to ensure proper advising for students with special needs and arrange for

necessary academic assessments

Registration Processes

Three stages for registration


• Pre-registration advising week

• Online registration week

• Add/Drop week

Baccalaureate Study

The normal required course load in a baccalaureate program is at least 15 credit hours a

semester. Maximum credit hours taken by students in a semester shall be in accordance with the

following criteria:

1. Students with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) less than or equal to 2.49 shall not

be allowed to register for more than 16 credit hours in a semester.

2. Students with CGPA equal to or greater than 2.50 and less than or equal to 3.49 shall not be

allowed to register for more than 19 credit hours in a semester.

3. Students with CGPA equal to or greater than 3.50 shall not be allowed to register for more

than 21 credit hours in a semester.

Good Standing -15 - 21 credits (based on GPA)

Academic Warning -16 credits

Academic Probation -12 credits

Fresh Start -12 credits

Course Overload in the Final Year

In the student’s final year, the student with a CGPA of 2.50 or higher may petition to take an

additional course above 19 credit hours.

Reduced Course Load in the Final Semester or Term

The student who will complete all degree requirements in the first term of a semester may elect

to enrol for only that term. The student who needs less than 15 credit hours in their final

semester to complete all requirements for their degree may register for a reduced load, provided

it includes all remaining courses required for completion of the degree.

Exceptional Circumstances

In exceptional circumstances with the approval of the Chief Academic Officer, a student may be

allowed to carry a reduced load of courses. The student must be in good standing. This option is

not provided for students in the Academic Bridge Program. The expectation is that an approval

of a reduced load will be for one term or semester only; allowing the student time to adjust their

course schedule in following semesters or terms, or that the student will complete their course of

study for the degree within a year.


Advising students with special needs

As we strongly believe students with special needs are entitled to equal chances and rights of

being admitted into the different college majors, we will arrange for special advising for those

students. Hence the Assistant Dean will work directly with the accessibility centre in order to

ensure proper advising for students with special needs and arrange for necessary academic

assessments as necessary.

Schedule Change

A student may only change schedule during the Add/Drop period (first week of semester or

term) as designated in the University Catalogue.

Students in the Baccalaureate program may not make a change that reduces their schedule below

full-time except for compelling academic reasons and with the approval of the appropriate

College Dean.

Withdrawal from a Course

Students who encounter unanticipated difficulty in a course despite their best effort may petition

to withdraw from the course for compelling academic reasons until the end of the third week

(for term courses) and sixth week (for semester courses). Students must still maintain full-

time status unless granted special approval in writing by the appropriate College Dean.

Withdrawal before the deadline results in a grade of W (Withdrawal without penalty).

Withdrawal after the deadline results in a grade of WF (Withdrawal/Failing), which is calculated

in the grade point average as F (Failing grade).

Completion of the Degree

Students must earn a minimum of 120 credits and successfully fulfil all requirements in the

Colloquy Program and their major in order to complete the Baccalaureate degree at Zayed

University. The University Catalogue specifies each Baccalaureate‘s degree requirements for

graduation.

Suspension of Registration

A student may twice suspend registration for a maximum of two semesters (consecutive or non-

consecutive) during his/her period of study at Zayed University. The student may suspend

registration only during the first two weeks of the semester or term. The student who suspends

registration is considered inactive and does not enjoy University privileges such as access to

campus or use of the library unless granted an exception by the University.


Withdrawal from the University

1. Student Initiated Withdrawal: The University establishes a date in each semester and term

by which the student may withdraw from the University without academic penalty. The student

who transfers to another public university or college must formally withdraw from Zayed

University.

2. University-Initiated Withdrawal: The University may withdraw a student who does not

register for courses for two consecutive semesters but who has not formally withdrawn. The

University may withdraw a student whose English language proficiency does not meet the

standards of the University.

Code of Academic Conduct

Prohibited Behaviour

Cheating

Cheating is any attempt to do an assignment or take a test or quiz by any other means than the

exercise of your own knowledge and by doing the work yourself.

Examples of cheating are:

Using a textbook, notebook, dictionary, calculator, notes or other device during a test,

quiz, lab assignment or other course exercise without prior permission of the instructor.

Looking at another student’s test or quiz or allowing another student to look at yours

during the examination period.

Doing an assignment (paper, project, exercise, etc.) for another student or having

someone else do your work without the prior permission of the instructor.

Taking a test in place of another student or having someone else take your test.

Giving help to, or asking for help from, another person without prior permission of the

instructor.

Unauthorized use of a computer or other instructional aid-for example, using a calculator

during a mathematics test or using the Arabic dictionary in MS Word to translate without

prior permission of the instructor, or using any other device without prior permission.

Changing an answer on an already-graded examination and then asking for a grade

review.

Obtaining improper knowledge of the contents of an exam.

Permitting another student to plagiarize your work.


Plagiarism

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as if they were your own.

Examples of plagiarism are:

Copying another person’s work either word for word or making some

changes, but keeping the structure, much of the language, and the main ideas the same.

Even if the work has not been published, it should be treated as someone else’s work and

not your own work.

Buying, borrowing, or otherwise obtaining and handing in a paper, project or course

assignment as if it were yours.

Turning in someone else’s paper as if it were your own, even if the paper is enclosed in

quotation marks. A large part of your paper cannot simply be quotations.

Allowing someone else to edit, rewrite or make substantial changes in your work and

turning it in as if you had done it all, without acknowledging the other person’s

contribution and without prior permission of the instructor.

Using someone else’s words or ideas without crediting that person.

If you use someone else’s words, you must identify them by putting quotation marks

around them and citing the source.

If you download a picture from the internet, you must cite the source of the picture.

If you paraphrase someone’s work, you must specify the source of the statement.

Every book, magazine or internet site used in your paper must be identified in the

bibliography.

At any time, if you think you may have unknowingly plagiarized someone’s work, you

are urged to discuss it with your instructor before turning in the assignment. Faculty

have available various electronic resources to assist students in recognizing and

correcting plagiarism and to assist faculty in detecting and confirming plagiarism.
