| The program |
|
| FMI Program is considered to be one of the fundamentals in developing the educational system in Egypt that is reflecting new vision and philosophy in the Egyptian universities considering the following: 1. The study in the program depends on the credit hour system. 2. The academic year is divided into two semesters, and a summer term may be added. 3. The credit hour is the measurement unit used. 4. To obtain a bachelor's degree, a student must successfully pass a hundred and twenty-nine (129) credit hours over a period of at least eight semesters - excluding summer semesters - divided into four academic levels. 5. The student prepares the graduation project (calculated as six credit hours) in one of the areas specialized in the finance sector. 6. Students’ graduation is in two semesters every year either in May / June or in January / February and no student is allowed to graduate in the summer term. 7. The student is not allowed to register any course unless he passes the prerequisites of this particular course in case it exists. 8. Prior to the beginning of every semester - on the announced dates - the student chooses to register his/her own courses. 9. The minimum credit hours for registration in each semester are (9) hours and the maximum is (18) hours. Those limits may be exceeded in graduation cases conditioned with the approval of the program supervisor. 10. After the registration procedures completion, the student is allowed to perform the following through specific forms and procedures, with the academic advisor’s help: • Add one or more courses within the first two weeks of the academic semester. • Delete one or more courses within the first four weeks of the academic semester. 11. After the student registers his/her own courses, the student may withdraw from one or more courses within the first 8 weeks of the academic semester, on condition that the number of hours registered for the student is not less than the minimum registration hours (9 credit hours) in one semester. In this case, the student is not considered to be failing those courses that he has withdrawn from and gets a "withdrawn" grade in the withdrawn course. 12. If the student withdraws from one or more courses after the specified period, a "fail" grade is given in the courses that he has withdrawn from. 13. Taking the final exam requires achieving an attendance rate that is not less than 75% of the lectures in each course and if the student’s absence rate - without an acceptable excuse - in one of the courses exceeds 25%. The Faculty Board can deprive the student of taking the final exam and “Zero" grade is given in the final exam after warning him. 14. If the student presents a compulsive excuse accepted by the Faculty Council for not attending the final exam for any course within two days of taking the exam, an "incomplete" grade will be given to him in this course, on condition that he has not been prevented from taking the final exam. 15. In this case, the student with an "incomplete" grade will have the opportunity to take the exam in this course within a period not exceeding one month from the beginning of the following semester. The final grade of the student is given on the basis of the degree obtained in the final exam plus the degree obtained in the course work of the previous academic semester. |
