All admitted students must successfully complete the preparatory year, according to its regulations, in two semesters before starting the Bachelor level courses. Based on their performance in the preparatory year and according to the implementation rules, students will be able to select the major they desire to study in.

Duration of Study  

• The study period at JUC is made up of five years, one preparatory year followed by four years in a specialization program.
• Each year has two regular semesters and one summer session.
• The regular semester consists of 15 weeks and the summer session 8 weeks. The first semester starts in September and ends in January. The second semester lasts from February to June.

Grading Policy

• Letter Grades with point values (shown on the next page) are used to evaluate student’s performance.
• The grade point average (GPA) reflects the overall student’s average academic achievement.
• Each course is measured by its credit hours (CR).
• Each lecture/theory hour is equivalent to 1 CR and each 3 lab hours = 1 CR.
• The GPA is computed as follows: multiply the points of each grade by the credit hours. This will give the total grade points for each course. Adding up the grade points earned in all courses determines the total grade points.
• The GPA is calculated by dividing the total grade points by the total credits obtained in a certain number of subjects.
