Course Withdrawal Guidelines – Summer Semester

The Deanship of Admission and Registration at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University announces the acceptance of course withdrawal requests for the summer semester of the academic year 1446 AH, as follows:

Course Withdrawal Policy

- Students are allowed to withdraw from a course provided that the remaining registered credit hours after withdrawal do not fall below the minimum academic load.

- Course withdrawal does not affect the student's eligibility for honors if all other criteria according to the university's academic regulations are met.

- Withdrawal from a course is not permitted for students in their first or second academic levels in all colleges.

- If the requested course withdrawal is linked with a co-requisite course, both courses will be withdrawn together upon approval of one.

- Bachelor's degree students may withdraw from up to 5 courses throughout their academic period, with no more than 2 courses per semester.

- Diploma students may withdraw from up to 3 courses throughout their academic period, with no more than 1 course per semester.

- Course withdrawal is not allowed for students in the Arabic Language Institute.

- Withdrawal from one or two courses in the summer semester counts towards the allowed total course withdrawals based on the student's program level.

Note: Withdrawing from all registered courses is considered a semester withdrawal, not a course withdrawal, and a separate semester withdrawal request must be submitted.
