Registration in the foundation program courses is automatically done through the registration staff in the foundation program unit. Students are not allowed to change their schedules unless for a compelling reason accepted by the foundation program management. It’s worth mentioning that students are not permitted to register for credit courses before completing the foundation program. 

Concurrent registration in university courses and foundation program courses is as follows:

a) Registration in other university courses is done through the registration website of the Admission and Registration Deanship after completing registration in foundation program courses.

b) Students are not allowed to register for credit courses in their colleges before completing the foundation program courses: English, Mathematics, Information Technology and Study and Life Skills.

c) Students are allowed to register for university requirements such as Arabic language, Islamic civilization, and other optional courses upon reaching the sixth level in English language proficiency.

a) A student earning a grade of -C or higher enrolls in a new full course. For example, a student with a -C in the FPEL 0120 course is registered for the next semester in the FPEL 0340 course.

b) A student with a grade lower than -C in any of the courses FPEL 0120, FPEL 0230, FPEL 0340, FPEH/S 0450 must retake the latter half of the course. For instance, a student getting a +D in FPEL 0120 enrolls in the next semester in FPEL 0230, repeating both the second and third levels.

c) A student obtaining an F grade in any course must retake the entire course. For example, a student getting an F in FPEH/S 0603 is registered in the same course in the next semester.
