Second: Guidelines for Course Registeration
1. To register courses, students use (Course Registeration)icon in PNU website or through the following link:
https://xessreg.pnu.edu.sa/StudentRegistrationSsb/ssb/registration
2. Courses that cannot be dropped are: Foundation year courses & Level 1 courses in all colleges.
3. Level 2 students can drop the courses of higher levels and add other higher level courses according to PNU regulations.
4. A Student can add courses of maximumly 2 levels higher than her current level taking into consideration that adding these courses should be in sequence with the student's program plan: Low to High.
5. A student status will be marked as (drop out due to non-registration) in case of not registering any courses in the specified periods without submitting requests of postponement (until the end of week 2) or dropping a semester (by the end of week 3)
6. Students should commit to the allowed maximum and minimum number of credit hours in the study load for course registration.
*The study load for a student who has academic warning or chance after academic dismissal for low GPA is as follows:
| Credit hours registered |
| 12 |
7. While adding a free course, take the following into consideration:
- The free course should not be included in the student's program plan as it must be assigned by the student's college.
- The total credit hours for the free courses registered must match the credit hours in the student's program plan.
- A student who completed and fulfilled free courses in her program plan must not add extra free courses. If so, she will not be allowed to drop the free course.
- A student should commit to register the credit hours in the free and elective courses as specified in her program plan. (the student cannot register a free course of 2 credit hours while the required in the program plan is 3 credit hours and vice versa). The student is held responsible in the case of not comiiting to that.
Third: Important instructions in the course registration period:
- Regular and senior students should doublecheck that they fulfilled the prerequisite and corequisite courses and review Degree Evaluation in the Student Self-service on the Academic System To know the courses they must register before they begin to add and drop courses.
- Academically struggling students should first add the courses they struggle with; after that, they can add their other courses according to their program plan till at least fulfill the minimum number of credit hours according to their study load.
- Students should view their schedules and commit to attend classes of the registered courses. Students should also follow up with their schedules until the end of week 3 to double check their registered courses and avoid missing classes or having a DN.
- A student cannot attend in a section that she did not register. If so, she will be marked as absent or DN. She cannot as well attend more than one section of the same course.
- A student should make sure that her final exams do not overlap and is held responsible for that.
- following up the PNU email is highly important to view instructions and updates in the registration process.
- A student can communicate students' affairs in her college if she faces any difficulties in course registration.
- To communicate the administration of course registration in ARD, with anything related to add/drop courses, send an email to dar-reg@pnu.edu.sa. To ensure quick response, your email should be as follows:
