Week 14 (Last week of classes)
In addition to the 14 weeks of instruction, a midterm week is scheduled halfway through the
semester typically between the seventh and eighth weeks of instruction. Final exams are held
during the two weeks immediately following the fourteenth week of instruction. Students should
remember that no final exam will be given at an earlier time than was published; no student shall be
required to take more than three final exams per day. After the semester ends, the Provost acts on
academic probation and dismissals, and grades will be made available at the Admissions and
Registration Office.
Credit Transfer
A graduate from another institution seeking admission for graduate study must furnish official
transcripts from all former institutions attended at the time he or she files the formal application for
admission (see General Requirements for Admission). A student who wishes to transfer graduate
work must receive permission from the graduate advisor and must submit an application to the
Admissions and Registration Office within two weeks of the first semester the student registers at
ALHOSN University. Application must be made by completing appropriate form together with the
courses syllabus and official transcripts. Only courses that have equivalent content to the course offered
at ALHOSN University’s MBA program and with grades of at least ‘B’ shall be given credit transfer.
Courses in the MBA Electives are not transferable. Courses that have been given credit transfers shall
be noted ‘EX on the student’s transcript and the credit hours of these courses shall not be included in
computing the student’s GPA.
Forms
Each graduate student should become thoroughly familiar with the forms required for his or her
degree program. The Admissions and Registration Office website contains the forms in fill-in PDF
format. These forms and their proper use are critical as the student begins, progresses through, and
completes the degree program. The report of examination results is the only form not available to the
student; the major professor or graduate dean will request this form from the Admissions and
Registration Office at the appropriate time.
Registration of Continuing Students
All continuing students must register for courses within two weeks from the announcement date for
registration according to the instructions and procedures established by the University. The actual
dates of registration and other important dates will be announced by the University. Before classes
begin in each semester, the student should notify the Admissions and Registration Office if he/she
has/had a change of address, name change, etc
Adding and Dropping Courses Credits
The course(s) registered may be added or dropped within the first three weeks of the regular semester.
Registered courses dropped during the first three weeks of the regular semester will not be noted in
the student’s transcript. However students who drop courses from the third to the eighth week of the
semester shall be given a grade “W”. Students who withdraw after the eighth week will not be entitled to
a refund.
