Study Support and Academic Advising
E-JUST offers a variety of study support options to support students in their
independent study. We hope that all students will proactively make use of this support.
Academic Advising
An academic advisor will be assigned for each student. The academic advisor is
responsible for:
1. Advising the student during his course work.
2. Clarify the articles of the bylaw to the student.
3. Helping the students in registration and the proper courses selection each
semester.
4. Helping the student to select the elective courses relevant to the field he wishes to
study.
5. Recommending any additional complementary courses that, in the opinion of the
academic advisor, the student has to take.
6. Put the student who got GPA below 2.00 under observation and try to help him to
raise his GPA by proper courses selection.
7. Help the student in add/drop courses and in withdrawal.
So please consult with your advisor if you want to ask about any academic issue.
You can speak with an advisor on any issue, large or small. Please consider academic
advising for the following topics, or for any other questions you wish to ask or concerns
you might have:
Unsure what to do now to prepare for your future.

Curriculum and Academic Plans

The minimum number of credit hours required for obtaining the Bachelor of Business is
140 credit hours in not less than eight semesters and maximum of 8 years with a
minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00.
Course Structure

practical experience through internships. The graduation senior project weighs 8 credit
hours distributed equally at 2 semesters. One credit hour for the project is equivalent to
3 contact hours.

From Registration to Credit Completion
Course registration is the process of each student registering for courses they would like
to take, as well as a declaration of intent. Course registration is the most important part
of course planning, and is obligatory to attend classes, receive credit and for graduation.
Course registration takes place in the beginning of each semester. Please refer to
courses timetable and study plan sent by the Academic affairs Office in order to register
for courses during the appropriate course registration period. Please use extra caution
when registering for classes and for the registration deadline to ensure you are able to
progress in your study plan.
There is a fixed maximum number of credits for which students may register each
semester.
Please note that this number differs depending on the student Cumulative GPA (CGPA).
Course Repetition
Courses in which a student received a grade of F, FW, W and WF should be
repeated.
Courses in which a student received a grade of D+, D may be repeated for
improvement (based on the student’s desire).
If student repeats the course, he/she should attend the class lectures – labs and
fulfill all course requirements.
Repetition more than once requires the approval of the department chair.
If a student takes the same course more than once, all grades will appear on the
student's record.
The student will receive credits for the most recently earned grade and will be
used in computing the cumulative GPA.
Student will pay the repeated course fees in addition to the semester fees.
The student is not allowed to attend the final exam of a course unless he/she attended
at least 75% of the study hours of the course. In this case, the student will be
considered as "Forced Withdrawn" and the course will appear in his certificate as (FW),
and will not be counted in calculating the CGPA.
