Dr Haifa Reda Jamal Al Lail

Useful information Effat Bylaws University life brings with it a new vocabulary, which can be confusing. Below you will find some of the more common academic terms and what they mean. The academic year at Effat University is divided into two semesters. Each semester consists of 15 weeks, excluding the registration and examination periods.

The minimum period for obtaining the bachelor’s degree is six semesters. The maximum period is your original program period plus an additional half period. Summer semesters are not counted in this period.

A student’s academic status will be determined at the end of each semester and will appear on the transcript that shows achievements throughout graduate study. However, the summer session has no effect on academic status.

A student’s academic status is maintained when the student’s cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) and semester GPA are at least 2. Students are expected to maintain this standing until their graduation.

A student will be placed under ‘Academic warning’ status after final grades have been processed at the end of each semester (except the summer semester) if any of the following occur: a) Her cumulative GPA is less than 2 but more than 1 out of 4 AND/OR b) Her semester GPA is less than 2.

The student shall face discontinuation for at least one semester if any of the following occur:

Certain exceptions are permitted to students in their final semester. The minimum course load in the semester of graduation is one credit hour. The maximum is 24 credit hours during the regular semester and nine in the summer session, provided the cumulative GPA of all work undertaken during the preceding terms in the last 28 credit hours is not less than two out of four.

a) Her semester GPA is less than 1.00 b) She was previously on ‘Academic warning’ or probation in a regular semester and in the next term achieved a semester GPA of less than 1.75 c) The student receives three consecutive academic warnings.

A student is placed under ‘Academic probation’ status after the final grades have been processed at the end of each semester (except the summer semester), and her cumulative GPA is less than a ‘B’.

A student is dismissed if she receives three consecutive ‘Academic probations’. Upon the recommendation of the Department Council, the University Council may allow some students a fourth opportunity to improve their cumulative GPA. A student is also dismissed if she fails to complete her graduation requirements within an additional period equal to one half of the original program’s duration. In exceptional cases, the University Council may allow the student to complete the graduation requirements within an additional period of a maximum duration equal to that of the original program. You can find full details of grades and what they mean on page 32.

A student who obtains a failing grade in a required course must repeat this course. Additionally, a student can repeat a course for which she previously obtained a grade D or D+. The last grade will reflect the student’s performance in such a course. Should a student repeat a required course in which she has earned a D or D+ and fail, she must repeat the course and obtain a pass grade. All grades will be included in the GPA calculation in her transcript.

Students can transfer from one major to another if they have fulfilled the prerequisite requirements for entry to the new major, and completed an ‘Application for Change of Major’ form with the required signatures. A change of major should be requested before the student completes her fourth semester, although the department may consider exceptional cases where students have already completed the fourth semester. Transfers will be recorded in the academic record at the beginning of the following term. Students are allowed a maximum of two transfers from one major to another within the university. The University Council may also consider exceptional cases.

Students with acceptable reasons may apply in writing to the Department Chair for a ‘leave of absence’ (LOA) from study, provided that the postponement period shall not exceed two consecutive semesters, or three non-consecutive semesters throughout their enrollment at the university. The ‘Application for Leave of Absence’ form should be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Registration after completion.

A student in ‘good standing’ whose studies are interrupted for no more than two semesters must submit a formal request for re-enrollment to the Office of Admissions and Registration. This must be done at least one month before the beginning of the semester for which they wish to be re-enrolled. Please note, if you interrupt your study for the duration of one semester without applying for a suspension of enrollment, your enrollment status at the university will be canceled and your file will be closed.

A student may submit an application for a leave of absence for reasons acceptable to the College Council, provided the leave of absence period does not exceed two consecutive semesters, or a maximum of three non-consecutive semesters, during her entire course of study at the university. The student may apply for re-enrollment* with the same university ID number and academic record she had before her suspension by submitting a ‘Re-enrollment After Leave of Absence’ form.

The academic record of a student transferring from one major to another will include all the courses they have taken, including the grades, semesters and cumulative GPAs obtained throughout the period of study at Effat. *All re-enrollment forms must be completed and submitted at least one month before the beginning of the semester for which the student wishes to be re-enrolled.

A student may be allowed to withdraw for a semester and not be considered as having failed the course if she supplies an acceptable reason to the authorized body – as determined by the University Council – starting the third week and before the end of the 10th week of the academic semester. The student will be given a ‘W’ grade for the courses and may apply for re-enrollment with the same university ID number and academic record she had before her suspension by submitting a ‘Re-enrollment After Term Withdrawal’ form.

A student whose enrollment status has been canceled may apply for re-enrollment within four semesters, with the same university ID number and academic record she had before her suspension, by completing a ‘Re-enrollment After Permanent Withdrawal’ form. This will be presented to the Admissions and Academic Standing Committee (AASC) who will study the case and decide accordingly.

Students who have not informed the university of their leave and did not fill one of the forms listed above (LOA, TW or PW) will be deemed a ‘no show’ and a suspension of enrollment will apply. She may apply for re-enrollment within four semesters, and with the same university ID number and academic record she had before her suspension, by completing a ‘Re-enrollment After No-show’ form and a written request which will be presented to the Admissions and Academic Standing Committee (AASC). They will study the case and decide accordingly.

A student may withdraw from individual courses or from the semester according to the detailed regulations set forth in the ‘University Withdrawal and Refund Policy’. Withdrawal from courses is permitted no later than 10 weeks after the start of the semester. Students withdrawing from a course will receive a grade of ‘W’ for said course. This ‘W’ grade is not included in computing the semester or cumulative GPA. Academic advisors must approve all withdrawals and ensure that the minimum course load of 12 credits is maintained.

Attendance and participation in all classes and laboratory sessions are essential to students’ education at Effat. The instructor will provide the attendance policy for each course. Absence from any session (whether excused or unexcused) does not excuse a student from not making up missed work and completing assignments. An undergraduate student will not be allowed to continue in a course and take the final examination, and will be given a ‘DN’ grade (denied from attending final exam), if unexcused absences make up more than 20% of the lecture and laboratory sessions scheduled for the course.

A student who is absent from the final examination without an acceptable, documented excuse shall be given a 0 mark for the examination. Course grades are in this case calculated on the basis of the marks obtained from semester activities. If a student fails to attend the final examination of any of her scheduled courses due to circumstances beyond her control, the College Council, in exceptional cases, may arrange a make-up examination within a period not exceeding the end of the next semester. In such cases the course grade will be given to the student after the make-up examination.

It’s a great way to build your personal and interpersonal skills, as well as your social and global awareness. We tell you more about it in our comprehensive course guide section. As part of your degree, you’ll need to complete between 126 and 163 credit hours, depending on the course you’ve chosen. For our major and free-elective courses, the hours will be split between your General Education Program (GEP) and your specific degree.

Applying to Effat Effat University Admission Criteria At Effat, we welcome applications from all qualified high school graduates, as well as transfer students from universities recognized by the Saudi Ministry of Education, international students, visiting students and auditing students – and are especially keen on meeting those of you who can demonstrate strong academic achievement and qualifications. This usually means we’ll look at your academic record before you go through our placement testing and interview with the University Admissions Committee.

We believe that coursework and placements are vital in helping you gain practical skills. They offer a more rounded education, and reflect your achievements more fairly. This is the reason we don’t run correspondence courses or examination-only degrees. It’s well worth coming to see us for one of our campus tours, or experiencing an overnight stay in Student Residence. Our friendly staff can also visit your school. Just ask our Office of Admissions and Registration for information. If you have any questions, please email: admissions@effatuniversity.edu.sa

IF YOU’RE a transfer student Our college councils will review the courses you’ve taken outside Effat based on the recommendations of the Effat departments who offer equivalent courses. Any of the courses that are evaluated as equivalent will be transferred to your record but won’t be included in the calculation of your cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA).

To transfer the credit for any course you’ve taken outside Effat, you’ll need to have:

01 Taken your courses at a recognized college or university.

02 Obtained grade C or higher in that course.

03 Taken a course that is equivalent in its contents to a course included in our degree program.

Transferring your individual courses The Deanship of of Admissions and Registration keeps a database of all transfer credits awarded to students from universities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and abroad. Decisionss about awarding credits are made by the academic department or division for your course and would need to be approved by that college and our University Council.

Applying to us as a transfer student

If not, it might still be counted as an elective with the approval of the council of the department offering the degree program and its college council.

To apply to transfer, you will need to submit the following in addition to the application requirements listed on page 24:

Things to remember:

• The official post-secondary transcripts from each post-secondary institution you’ve attended.

• •

• The course description from each postsecondary institution you’ve attended.

•

27 26

The grade you’ve earned in the external course won’t be included in your cumulative GPA. Courses you have taken at two different institutions at the same time won’t be considered for transfer of credit. Courses you’ve taken at another institution while studying with us (in the same semester) won’t be considered for transfer of credit.

• The course syllabus for each post-secondary course you have taken, if available.

International students

Academic Bylaws

For admissions criteria, please refer to page 26 and 27.

In this section, you’ll find out how to pre-register and formally register for courses. You’ll also learn more about course loads and dropping, adding or changing courses.

Applying for your visa

Please note

To make sure your visa application goes smoothly, you’ll need to include these with your application: A completed Effat application. Two passport-size photographs. A scanned copy of your passport (the passport must be valid for a year), including all pages. A complete medical report. A copy of your high school certificate. Pay the visa processing fees. If you are a visiting or transfer student, in addition to the above: A copy of your transcript. Course description for each of the courses you completed at your home university.

The university can smoothly process a student visa when all required documents and payments are received from the applicant by Admissions. Admissions cannot confirm the time needed for the relevant authorities to process student visas. Overseas applicants are therefore advised to allow a minimum of six months before classes begin. You’ll also need to complete medical and emergency-contact forms before you start your classes, and if you’d like to defer your enrollment, you’ll need to send us a written request. Your student resident visa is valid for one semester. If you can’t register within one semester, you’ll have to apply again and retake your placement tests.

The registration process

Dropping or adding courses and section changes

Early registration

You may change your registration by adding some courses during the period specified in the academic calendar. Courses will not appear in your transcript if dropped during the first week of classes in a regular semester (the first week in a summer semester).

Orientation

•

Things to remember • •

The full fees for one academic year, including any additional fees, must be paid before your classes begin. Processing your visa could take up to six months.

Next steps Your offer to join us We have a rolling admissions policy at Effat. We’ll let you know if your application has been successful as soon as we have: Your completed application. Your supporting credentials. The results of your placement test scores.

•

During the middle of the first (fall) semester, early registration is held for the courses to be taken by students during the second (spring) semester. In the middle of the second semester, early registration is held for both the coming summer semester and the first semester of the following academic year. Early registration is required of all enrolled students during the semester.

Late registration

As a freshman student, you’ll be asked to attend the Orientation Day that will give you important information about Effat and how to make the most of your time with us.

If necessary, you may be allowed to register late during the period specified in the academic calendar, in accordance with the rules set by the university. You are responsible for any consequences of late registration.

Advising

Policies relating to courses

Once you’ve had your admission letter, our Deanship of Admission and Registration will put you in touch with your Department Chairman. They’ll assign you a personal academic adviser who’ll support you throughout your time at Effat.

•

If you are full-time, you will need to enroll for at least 12 credit hours, making sure that the total in any two consecutive semesters isn’t fewer than 28 credit hours. The maximum course load is 19 hours, but if you have a cumulative GPA of three or above, then you can register for 21 hours with the approval of your Department Chair.

Course load in summer session • • •

The maximum course load for a student in good standing is nine credit hours. The maximum course load for a student on ‘Academic Warning’ or ‘Probation’ is seven credit hours. The maximum course load for a student in her last term before graduation is nine credit hours.

The following conditions apply: First: dropping courses • •

The course load must remain at or above the minimum allowable limit.* If the course being dropped is a co-requisite for another registered course, the two courses should be dropped simultaneously, or continue to be studied together.

Second: adding courses • • •

The course load should not exceed the maximum allowable limit.* The courses added should not result in a conflict in your schedule or final examinations. If you wish to add a course section that is closed, taking into consideration the even distribution of students among sections of that course, you must acquire the approval of the Chairman of the department offering the course, and submit it to the Deanship for Admissions and Registration within the specified time.

* See Implementation Rules of Article 13 in the Bylaws for Undergraduate Study and Examinations, and Implementation Rules for Effat University.

In this section we’ll tell you how and why your course grades will be awarded, and the difference between letters, marks and points. We’ll also explain our policies on grades and transcripts, and what to do if you feel a grade you’ve been given doesn’t reflect your performance.

Audit

DN is equivalent to a grade of F (0.00). A DN is assigned when a student exceeds the maximum number of absences allowed in the attendance policy.

An IP grade is granted for courses of a research nature that require more than one semester of study for their completion. On completion of the course, the student will be given the grade she has earned. In the event that the student does not complete the course within the designated time limit, the department that teaches the course may agree to grant the student an ‘Incomplete’ (IC) grade and such temporary notation will be on the student’s transcript of record.

A grade of IC is granted temporarily at the instructor’s approval when the student is unable to complete the coursework within the established time period. A notation of W is assigned when the student has officially withdrawn from a course, in accordance with the established deadlines on the academic calendar for a given semester.

The instructor informs the Deanship for Admissions and Registration in the event of such a student being absent for more than one third of the classes, in which case the course will be eliminated from her record.

More about grades, transcripts and graduation Only in extreme circumstances does Effat university grant an IC for a course. If the student requests an IC grade, she must provide proper documentation to justify its granting. Appropriate documentation may include an official medical report indicating personal illness or the death certificate of a close family member. The course instructor recommends assigning an IC grade after identifying the work and the time required to complete course assignments. Instructors submit a report to the Department Chairman indicating the reasons and justifications for assigning the IC grade and the work and time required to complete the course. Formal request for ICs must be made no later than the last day of the examination period, at which time the student will be given the date by which they must complete all the required work for the course. When possible, all work should be completed within two weeks of the start of the following academic semester. However, based upon the instructor’s recommendation, the Department Chairman may allow the student to complete the course requirements during the following semester (though the course requirements must be met by the end of the next regular semester). In no case shall an IC grade remain as a permanent notation on a student’s academic record.

The grades NP or NF are assigned for courses offered on the basis of pass or fail. The notation AU is assigned to students who attend a course as auditors without being given any grades, regardless of their performance in the course. The effect of this assignment on the student’s cumulative or semester grade is the same as the grade or NP.

A student who feels strongly that she has received a grade that is demonstrably inaccurate, or that the grading was unfair, must promptly discuss the matter with the instructor of the course. If the student and her instructor are unable to arrive at

a mutually agreeable solution, the student may forward an official appeal to the Department Chair offering the course, no later than the end of the second week of the next semester by submitting a ‘Grade Appeal’ form. The Department Chair will investigate whether the appeal is justified by reviewing the instructor’s evaluation of the student based on the student’s class work and final examination scores. The Department Chair will then take appropriate action, if she/he deems necessary, by submitting the student’s appeal to the College Council to decide on the case.

If you require an official copy of your transcript, You will need to pay a fee of SR 115 per transcript.

To graduate in a given semester, you must apply no later than the second week of the semester.

Transcripts will be withheld for students with outstanding bills until such financial obligations are settled.

You should complete an ‘Application for Graduation’ form (obtained from the Office of Admissions ) and submit it to the Graduate Auditor by the established deadline in the semester in which you are due to graduate.

The university will never disclose information and the academic records of any student except with written prior consent. Exceptions to this principle are made only in the following cases:

If you fail to complete degree requirements by the end of the academic term for which you have applied to graduate, you will need to reapply in order to graduate at a later date. Students must obtain a minimum cumulative, major GPA of 2.00 out of 4.00 in order to graduate from Effat University. Please refer to the Bylaws for Undergraduate Study and Examination, and Implementation Rules for Effat University on the Effat website:

• Compliance with judicial orders • A health or safety emergency • For authorized Effat University administrators, academic advisers and faculty members

27 Effat English Academy Tuition • • • •

The Effat English Academy Program comprises eight different levels. Completion of eight English levels is not mandatory. Assignment to an EEA program level shall be determined based on the approved English Linguaskill placement test score. Students meeting the required benchmark score shall be placed at the appropriate level and may be exempt from lower levels. Foundation Year Levels

• Upon the request of administrators of other educational institutions to which the student has applied. In such cases the student will be given, upon her request, a copy of the information sent to the institution where she seeks to enroll • To sponsors of students on scholarships or financial aid.

This information may include only the following items: name, the degree received, contest or placement test results, year of graduation.

The program originated from the formal assessment model dictated by the Ministry of Education where 10% of each course grade is dedicated to students’ physical and mental engagement. At Effat University, this 10% has been strategically redistributed as follows: 1. 5% reflects classroom physical attendance and active in-class participation, 2. while the remaining 5% is awarded through the ESSP Value Points system, which tracks students’ physical and mental engagement in co-curricular and extracurricular activities aligned with Effat’s IQRA Values. ESSP is Effat University's structured framework for student development beyond the classroom, designed to strengthen the Effat Graduate Characteristics and reinforce the IQRA values — Ibhath, Qiyam, Riyada, and At-tawasul — through co-curricular and extra-curricular engagement. The program develops balanced, responsible, and globally aware graduates equipped for professional and civic life. ESSP consists of two main components: Co-curricular Program – including the Effat Ambassador Program (EAP), Elevate Your English (EYE), and the Educational Support Program (ESP). Extra-curricular engagement – organized across the approved student development categories, including civic engagement.

Effat Student Success Program Students are expected to actively participate in both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, earning 5 Value Points that contribute toward the Effat Ambassador Passport at each academic level. These Value Points are also linked to the 5 marks allocated in each academic course. The Deanship of Student Affairs provides a welcoming, inclusive, student-centered and supportive environment. The Deanship creates future ambassadors and champions of IQRA values through a comprehensive co-curricular program

While the ESSP integrates innovative learning tools and student-centered strategies, it builds upon established programs

that fosters mutual respect, multiculturalism, socio-emotional competencies and professional skills.

such as the Effat Ambassador Program (EAP), Elevate Your English (EYE), Educational Support Program (ESP), along with various extra-curricular categories

General Education Program (GEP) Program Description The General Education Program creates a vibrant environment for academic excellence, societal relevance, and global awareness through imparting Liberal Arts Education, disseminating high-quality research, and advancing the best of citizenship traits among the students and the community at large. The program promises to equip students with a wide variety of learning skills within both the traditional and the more contemporary branches of learning. Students are expected to develop a broad perspective that allows them to appreciate diversity and change across time, culture, and geographic boundaries. In addition, critical learning skills include proﬁciency in the use of language, mathematics, and quantitative methods as tools for acquiring, renewing, creating, and communicating knowledge. This broad education includes an understanding of the methods and concerns of traditional branches of knowledge — the arts and humanities, the social sciences, and the natural and formal sciences. Developing perspective, however, requires historical, global, and cross-cultural examination of knowledge of all kinds. This is why new courses have been added to the old program. The program is based on a comprehensive set of student learning outcomes that all students are expected to demonstrate upon completion of a bachelor’s degree at Effat University.

Architecture Architecture arises from the same origins as other universal manifestations of material culture. However, the artifacts designated as architecture possess a scale, permanence, and pervasive influence unique among human endeavors. These qualities give the discipline a cultural prominence that few other professions enjoy. The study of architecture is concerned with complex, interdisciplinary issues. Some matters are primarily individual and practical, such as the basic human need for shelter and the desire to contrive efficient, adequate forms for the patterns of daily life. Architecture also serves a higher purpose. For example, often it is an expression of the living values of a culture. It gives form, order, and proportion to human activities. The practice of architecture today requires coordinated contributions from a variety of fields. Therefore, the study of architecture at Effat University investigates the principles and applications of history, theory, drawing, professional practice, and technology. Additional courses in technology, art, the humanities, engineering, the physical and social sciences, and management will help lay the foundation for the rest of education experience. Basic conceptual skills are emphasized early on, along with introducing the elements of architecture. Design studio at each level helps students develop the skills and intellectual tools to solve problems. Students will be immersed in architectural design; eight design studios and a full year capstone project are required, and it is the focal point of every semester. Studio exercises vary significantly during the five years. Students will learn to communicate ideas through models, and graphics, and written documents and/or reports. The Bachelor of Science in Architecture Degree is intended for students who seek a professional career in architecture and building industry. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for professional practice in Saudi Arabia and throughout the region and the world, according to the requirements of the Saudi Ministry of Higher Education (MoE - HE). In addition, it follows the quality standards set by the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment (NCAAA) in Saudi Arabia, and the Students Performance Criteria (SPC), set by the National Architecture Accrediting Board (NAAB) in the United States of America, for a professional bachelor’s in architecture. The set of elective courses in architecture helps students to further develop their graduate studies in any of the related fields.

This course is an introduction to freehand drawings principles and graphic representation of objects, masses, and voids. The course stresses of visual communication measures such as color, light, texture, value, form, and space, along with basics of perspective rendering.

This urban design studio course aims to raise students’ awareness of the architect’s role in the community, in addition to fostering their capacity of applying urban theory and design principles in a real urban and architectural design project. In this course, students consider the functional and contextual relations between multiple urban components, including buildings, spaces surrounding them, and their landscape design, guided by international and local codes. The course also focuses on the varied and complex needs of the users of the urban environment with particular reference to the Saudi local codes, rules, and regulations, on the urban environment. The course also directs students to develop projects as a part of a public realm, taking into

This architectural design studio introduces to students’ new approaches of design that address modern challenges of social, cultural, change. The studio deals with adaptive and sustainable reuse in their wider sense, not only the reuse of historic buildings and structures. It introduces strategies of redesigning existing structures to solve modern, contextual, and communal pressing problems, and to accommodate new functions and changes. It moreover touches on the adaptive reuse of historic and relatively newly designed buildings and structures to sustain buildings lives, functionality, and systems. Through a project that represents practices of reuse, restoration, or renovation, students will redesign an existing structure’s interior spaces, an extension or an annex, and deal with its exterior with preservation or repurposing, taking into consideration the international and Saudi codes. Design interventions are expected to utilize materials, architectural elements, and systems in more sustainable ways, in addition to responding to community, culture, functions and technology changes.

This is an introductory course that provides an overview of the history of architecture from the Prehistoric period through the 16th century from a global perspective. It introduces students to architecture in association with sociopolitical, cultural, historical, and religious contextual forces of the studied regions. It provides a wide-ranging exploration of how architecture has served human needs from Neolithic tombs to Greek and Roman temples, to medieval castles, with a great deal in between. It surveys a range of stylistic variations of built forms in cities across the ancient world.

This course focuses on advanced building structures and façade systems technology. It explores the technical relationship between the building materials that will improve building structure stability and enhance the building life cycle through the use of advanced materials. Through environmental and sustainable building systems, construction, and structural systems. By the end of the course, students present a set of technical drawings and a physical model for detailed skin and structural solutions.

Design

•

Guided by its institutional mission, strategic priorities, existing academic strengths, and market feasibility study, Effat University offers a Bachelor of Science in Design in Effat College of Architecture and Design. This degree includes two academic concentrations: Interior Design, and Industrial Design. Design as a professional activity is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative and therefore, the Bachelor of Science in Design (B.Sc.DESN) program is based on an educational framework that is broad, rigorous and discipline specific. In addition to its close alignment to architecture, engineering, and the social sciences and humanities, the studio-based design program provides an interdisciplinary orientation to the history and theory of design disciplines. Core areas include design thinking, the creation of space and place, material culture and production, and environmental sustainability. The program’s location in the College of Architecture and Design is a deliberate choice to emphasize the role of technology in the creation, representation, production and perception of the materials, processes and assemblies associated with our experience of space, place and products. The Bachelor of Science in Design degree is intended for students who seek a broad understanding of the influential role of design in our daily lives. Through one of two, distinct concentrations - Interior Design and Industrial Design - students are able to focus on specific areas of interest, which in turn, position them for practice in these fields or for further graduate study. The two concentrations were carefully chosen due to overlapping academic domains, closely aligned professional practices and the increasing employment opportunities available regionally, nationally and internationally. The Bachelor of Science in Design (B.Sc. Design) provides two concentrations as follows.
