Changes to Summer School Practice
At the Senate meeting held on 26-06-2012, due to the introduction of make-up exams in the Summer Term of the 2011-2012 Academic Year and the change in regulations, it was deemed appropriate to proceed under the following rules.
2011-2012 ACADEMIC YEAR SUMMER SCHOOL PRACTICE
1- Since make-up exams will be given between 22-08-2012 and 02-09-2012, students currently registered for summer school may, if they wish, withdraw from the courses they registered for in summer school until 17:00 on Friday, 29-06-2012, and these students will receive a full refund equal to the total credit fee of the courses they withdraw from.
2- For this summer term only, in order to start the 2012-2013 academic year smoothly, whichever provisions of the old and new regulations are in the student's favor will be applied.
a) Students on probation may take courses they have not taken from their current semester and lower semesters. These students may not take courses from higher semesters (new regulation). If the student has not used the right to take a course from a higher semester (old regulation) and it is absolutely necessary, one course from a higher semester may be allowed.
b) Up to 10 credits (maximum 4 courses) may be taken in summer school (new regulation). However, the old regulation only has the condition that courses of up to 10 credits may be taken. Under the old regulation, students may take courses of up to 10 credits. (For example, a student may take 5 courses of 2 credits each.)
c) Grades for courses taken by students at other institutions will be entered on the student's transcript as they are or as decided by the department (new regulation). Under the old regulation, these were entered as an EX grade.
d) Prerequisite courses are left to the Faculty Deans or Directorates. For this summer term, Faculty Deans may waive the prerequisite requirement if they deem it appropriate; however, prerequisites to be applied in future academic years should be carefully reviewed, determined and approved by the relevant boards.
