Honors) program must be governed by the admissions regulations and the university's examination regulations. Students' eligibility to participate in the entrance exam must be determined and guided according to the university's rules. Tuition fees and the method of payment for the four-year program must be governed according to the university's rules.
One of the subject teachers or any other member of the teaching staff of the Institute will be designated as the subject coordinator for each semester. The board will consist of the director of the Institute, supervisor(s), internal members (minimum two) and external members who will be experts in the respective fields. The final examination for each semester will be conducted according to the Examination Ordinance for the semester system in the university and controlled by the Office of the Controller of Examinations.
In order to participate in the class assessment and end-of-course examination, a student must have minimum class attendance, which will be governed by university rules. The qualifying passing grade in a particular subject will be determined by University rules. An advisor is usually assigned to a group of students by the Director of the Institute.
How long a student may continue as a degree candidate is determined by university rules.
