CALCULATION of the Cumulative Grade Point Average

The GPA is calculated by multiplying the grade of each course by the number of its credit hours and dividing the total by the number of total credit hours taken in the semester. The CGPA is calculated by multiplying the grade of each course by the number of its credit hours and dividing the total of all courses by the number of total credit hours taken for all semesters. By contrast, the GPA is the average of grade points of all courses in one semester, whether the student passed or failed the course. As mentioned earlier, the CGPA is the average of grade points of all courses in all semesters. Both GPA and CGPA are rounded to the nearest two decimal units. GPA and CGPA are calculated according to the following formula:

Example:

Course No. of C.H. Points Grade Points

Islamic Culture 3 4 12

Effective Communication Skills Arabic

3 4 12

Effective Communication Skills English (1)

STUDENT CONDUCT

U-Student Handbook79

Page 83: Student-Handbook-2010

UNIVERSITY GUIDE TO STUDENT CONDUCT

Student Academic Honesty

AU is an academic community devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. Academic integrity is fundamental to this endeavor. All members of AU community share the responsibility for the academic standards and reputation of the university. As an accepted member in the university, the student has to maintain academic honesty. The code of academic honesty prohibits behavior which can broadly be described as lying, cheating, fabricating, stealing, etc.

All members of the university community have a responsibility to ensure that they themselves, and others, are familiar with generally accepted standards and requirements of academic honesty.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

1) No member of the university community shall be deprived of academic freedom, personal rights and liberties without due and fair processes of applicable university regulations.

2) No disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon any member of the university community under authority of the university without fair and due process provided

3) Each student has a duty to understand the rules and regulations set forth by the university. Ignorance of a rule or regulation shall not be an acceptable defense by the conduct councel hearing board.

Student Disciplinary Policies and Procedures

The student disciplinary policies and procedures emphasize the university's obligation to promote personal freedom, maturity, and responsibility of students. AU has a special set of interests and purposes essential to its effective functioning. These include:

1) The opportunity for students to attain their educational objectives;

2) The creation and maintenance of an intellectual and educational atmosphere throughout the university;

3) The protection of health, safety, welfare, and property of all members of the university, and the property of the university itself.

The student disciplinary policies and procedures set forth those acts which constitute unacceptable conduct for students of the university. All alleged violations of the university policies and regulations may result in a disciplinary action.

The university reserves the right, for educational purposes, to review any action taken by civil authorities regarding students. It also has the obligation to introduce counseling and/or disciplinary action if the student's conduct has interfered with the university's exercise of its educational objectives or responsibilities to its members.

U-Student Handbook80

Page 84: Student-Handbook-2010

A student admitted to AU accepts the responsibility to conform to all University rules and regulations. Proven failure to meet this obligation will justify appropriate disciplinary actions including, but not limited to, expulsion, suspension, disciplinary probation, or reprimand.

DISCIPLINARY CODE

The following acts are defined by the University to be unacceptable:

Plagiarism

Students are expected to demonstrate academic integrity by completing their own work, assignments and assessments. Submission of work from another person, whether it is from printed sources or someone other than the student; previously graded papers; papers submitted without proper source citation; or submitting the same paper to multiple courses without the knowledge of all instructors involved can result in a failing grade or be reported to the disciplinary committee which has the authority to investigate, analyze, decide and finally impose the proper penalty.

Penalties imposed may include but are not limited to one or more of the following:

Warning. Verbal or written reprimand. Reassessment of work. Failure on a particular assignment. Failure in a course. Failure in a semester. Denial of admission or readmission to the university. Deregistration. Forfeiture of university awards or financial assistance. Suspension. Permanent suspension from the University. Revocation of a degree.

In deciding on the appropriate sanction to be imposed for an act of academic dishonesty, consideration may be given to the following factors:

The extent of the academic dishonesty; Whether or not the academic dishonesty was deliberate; The importance of the work in question as a component of the

course or program; Whether the act in question is an isolated incident or part of repeated

acts of academic dishonesty; Any other mitigating or aggravating circumstances.
