The final grade consists of several intermediaryassessments (for example, mid-term exam, laboratory works, presentation, course paper) andfinal exam. For example (Philosophy): If a student fails to pass all required assignmentsfor the course, they are not allowed to take the exam.

  8. EXAMS Every course unit is concluded with either a written or oral examination. The student who is unable to take the examination because of the illness or other valid reason may apply to the Faculty Dean for taking examinations at different times during the session or for extending the examination period. Each student must inform the International coordinator of theirFaculty on the first day of illness and present doctor’s statement upontheirreturn to classes.
