Academic Council

The University has an Academic Council whose aim is to contribute to the development and advancement of the university and to the formulation of its academic policies and regulations. The Council discusses the university's academic policies and systems that relate to the university as a whole, and specifically matters that are academic in nature and not limited to a single faculty or institution.

The Academic Council is formed at the beginning of each academic year as follows:

1. 1

   Preparing academic regulations applicable to students and recommending them to the University Council.

2. 2

   Approving study plans, curricula, and proposals for their amendment, development, or cancellation — submitted by college and institute councils, particularly in cases involving interdisciplinary or shared fields.

3. 3

   Approving the awarding of degrees to students who have fulfilled the graduation requirements, based on the recommendation of the deans of the faculties.

4. 4

   Discussing individual student cases referred to it by the Council Chair, and approving the dismissal of students who are deemed deserving of such a decision.

The Council organizes its work through specialized committees that meet separately, as follows:

In addition, the Vice President for Academic Affairs may establish specialized committees for a specific purpose, which are dissolved once that purpose has been fulfilled.
