Student Handbook - Zayed University

To apply for acceptance into the major, you must complete the Application
for Major form in consultation with your advisor, and submit it to the
dean of the appropriate college. The faculty in the college evaluates your
application and makes the final decision regarding admission to the
college. If not accepted, you will be notified and referred to the advisor
to explore alternatives. Acceptance is contingent upon the satisfactory
completion of the Colloquy courses listed above. In exceptional cases,
you may submit a written appeal to the dean of the relevant college
requesting admission to the major, with a statement indicating how
any deficiencies will be addressed during the first two semesters of
enrollment in the major. An appeal will be granted only if approved by
the dean of the relevant college and the Provost.
Changing Majors
To change a major, you must apply for admission to the new major
before the beginning of the eleventh week of the semester preceding
the desired change. Regardless of any prior course work you may have
completed in the major for which you are applying, you are not assured
of acceptance into the major until you have formally applied and been
accepted by the college’s assistant dean.
REGISTRATION
Registering for Courses
During the registration period each semester or term, meet with your
advisor to pre-register for courses. You will not be considered registered
until your name appears on the official class roster. If your name does
not appear on the official class roster by the end of the Add/Drop period
(see over page), you will not receive credit for the course.
