Academic integrity:
All students are expected to follow the rules of Majma'ah University. Unexpected absences
exceeding 15% of total number of class meetings will result in '' F'' grade. During the exams
all incidents of cheating or breaching the discipline of the exam will be taken very seriously,
regulations stated penalties for such actions by an ''F'' for that class and ''dropped'' for the rest
of classes in that year.
