CLASSES & EXAMS

Yes! Success in studies starts with being present.

If a student does not attend the final examination due to an emergency and he/she scored at least a total mark of 30 out of 70 in coursework (tests and midterm examination) the course may be considered as “incomplete.” Acceptable evidence for failure to attend a final examination due to an emergency consists of the following:

  • Illness certified in a medical report approved by the University Clinic
  • Death certificate of a first or second degree relative
  • Arrest or summons before a court or other legal body
  • Other excuses accepted by the College Council

In these cases, the student must submit an online request on https://ors.ajman.ac.ae within three working days, along with the relevant supporting documents. Applications will be processed only if the student has no financial obligation to the University and has paid the fee for an “incomplete request.” Applications submitted by students with a 25 percent absence warning will be rejected.

CHANGING MAJORS

Students may apply to transfer from one major to another within the add/drop period. The application is processed through the Office of Admissions and Registration provided that:

  1. The applicant meets the admission requirements of the degree program to which he/she is applying.
  2. There is availability of seats.
  3. Approval of the deans of both colleges concerned is obtained, along with approval from the registrar.
