Student Handbook - Zayed University

may not register for more than 19 credit hours in a semester or more
than nine credit hours in a term without written permission from your
college assistant dean to take a course overload. You may not make a
change that reduces your schedule below full-time status except for
compelling academic reasons and then only with the recommendation
of your college assistant dean and approval of the Assistant Provost for
Enrollment Management. Students on academic warning/probation may
be required to take less than a full course load.
Suspending Registration
You may suspend registration two times, for a maximum of two
semesters, during your time at Zayed University. If you miss a third
semester of study, you are eligible for dismissal. You may apply to
suspend registration through the Registrar’s Office by filling out the
Registration Suspension form. You may only suspend registration during
the first two weeks of the semester or term (see Academic Calendar). If
you suspend your registration your status is considered to be inactive.
Any requests for a third suspension must be approved by the Assistant
Provost for Enrollment Management.
Suspending Registration in Academic Bridge
Program
If you suspend registration for two terms or more in the Academic Bridge
Program, you may be required to retest for English proficiency before you
are permitted to continue. Based on the test, you may have to repeat
levels. If you are required to retake a previously completed level, you will
be allowed two tries to pass it but you may not exceed two years of study
in ABP overall. Information on testing dates and procedures is available
from the Assessment Supervisor in the Academic Bridge Program.
