2. An Overview

History of KIC

Khawarizmi International College was founded in 1985 and has gone through three

main stages, each lasting approximately ten years, since its establishment:

The first stage was from 1985 to 1994, this is the stage before the

establishment of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

KIC was then partnered then with the Institute for the Management of Information

Systems in London and later with Liverpool John Moores University of the UK, which

had supervised the delivery and overall quality of KIC programs and jointly issued the

certificates.

The second stage was from 1994 to 2003. That was the stage when the

Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research was establishing its

standard, policies and procedures.

This was a very challenging stage requiring matching the standards of our programs to

those high criteria set by the Ministry. As a result, KIC was one of the first private

institutions to receive accreditation for its programs from the MOHESR.

The third and current stage started in 2003 after receiving full accreditation

from the Ministry of Higher Education.

During this period KIC has transformed from an IT Institute that offers only one

Associate Degree in IT to a full scale higher education institution that offers a wide

range of Associate and Bachelor Degrees in the programs of Business Administration,

IT, Islamic Banking, Health Sciences, and Mass Communication providing students with

a variety of opportunities aiming to further their education and helping them with their

chosen careers. These programs not only provide students with theoretical and

conceptual knowledge in the fields of their choice, but also prepare them with the

relevant practical skills and competencies in order to embark successfully on their new

careers meeting the workforce requirements.

work to their maximum potential and to obtain the best evaluation of the students’

performance.

Coursework Assessment

The goal of the coursework assessment is to evaluate the students’ performance during

the course and to help the student to study the lecture notes and references step by

step and to avoid leaving revision until the last moment. Emphasis is also placed on

practical assignments and research. The course assessment includes (but not limited

to):

Quizzes

In-class assignments

Mid-Semester Examinations

Project Work and home assignments Class and College-Wide Presentations

Students submitting coursework for assessment must respect KIC code of Academic

honesty, which prohibits:

Cheating

Plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation)

Falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth)

Helping others to cheat

Any other form that violates academic integrity

KIC will not tolerate violations of this code. Any kind of involvement in academic

dishonesty will be dealt with seriously and will vary from grading zero marks in the

course component to complete expulsion from the College.

Final Examinations

Final examinations for most courses (some courses are assessed by coursework only)

are conducted at the end of each semester.

Most courses of the program have a two-hour final examination. To pass a course a

student must achieve a minimum of 30% in the final exam and an overall mark of at

least 60% when coursework and examination components are combined.

A student who passes a course will receive a grade A, B+, B, C+, C, D+ or D and a

student who fails a course will receive an F or RF grade depending on the decision of

the Exam board.

Repeat Final (RF) is used when students fail the course after attending the final

exam.

The students having Repeat Final (RF) will be given an opportunity to repeat final

exam within two weeks of the subsequent academic semester. A student failing

to appear for this repeat exam will have to register and pass this course within

one complete academic year. Failing in the repeat final exam or not registering

and passing the course within the deadline of an academic year will result in F

grade in the course and student will have to repeat the complete course.

The Repeat Course Work (RCW) is cancelled and no longer used.

Final grade will be encoded on the initial semester course through a Change

Grade Form/mechanism.

Students missing the Incomplete Course (IC) exam will be automatically assigned

zero in final exam and a final grade of F in the concerned course.

The student must maintain a minimum AGPA of 2.0. If the student’s AGPA falls

below 2.0, then he/she will be put on the academic probation list. If the student’s

AGPA remains below 2.0 for three consecutive semesters, then the management

has the right to remove the student from the program.

Starting from Fall 2020/2021, Academic warning will be computed based on the

cumulative GPA (AGPA and not the semester GPA).

Academic warning is considered once students completed the following number

of credits:

o 36 Credits or more for Full-time students (Registered in 12 credits or

more).

o 18 Credits for Part-time students (registered in 9 credits or less).

Incomplete Course Fees are fixed to 500 AED, and RF fees are fixed to 50% of

the original subject price (without Applying Temporary or permanent discount).

At the successful completion of each Associate/Bachelor Degree the student will

be awarded a certificate issued by Khawarizmi International College – UAE,

attested by the Ministry of Education – UAE.

Re-sitting Examinations

Incomplete Course (IC) grade is used when students did not attend the Final Exam.

This will be automatically generated (zero will not be used). Subject to submitting

appropriate justification, students will be able to repeat the missed final exam no later

than 02 weeks (add and drop period) of the next regular semester.

Academic Probation

A Student who performs badly in a semester (AGPA of less than 2.0) will be issued with

an academic warning and will be put on academic probation. If the student’s AGPA

remains below 2.0 in the second semester, then he/she will be issued with a final

warning and remain on the academic probation.

In case the student’s AGPA remains below 2.0 in three consecutive semesters then the

Examinations Board may recommend that the student be removed from the current

program.

Academic warning will be computed based on the cumulative GPA (AGPA and not the

semester GPA)

starting Fall 2020/2021. Academic warning is considered once students completed the

following number

of credits:

36 Credits or more for Full-time students (Registered in 12 credits or more).

18 Credits for Part-time students (registered in 9 credits or less).

Independent Study

The college does not encourage students to take courses as independent study.

However, students may be allowed to take up to 3 credits hours for an entire

Bachelor degree/Associate degree.

The only reason to allow student to take a course as an independent study is only

when the course is not offered and not taking it may delay the student graduation.

As such this situation may occur only during the last 2 – 3 last semesters left for

graduation. Independent studies are approved by the VPAA. If other exceptions,

they have to be documented and approved by the College VPAA.

Students who are taking courses as independent study are ensured with

adequate student supervision and compatibility in course content and

assessment methods. Student will be provided with all course materials

(handouts, readings, activities, etc.).

An independent study course involves one-on-one interactions between a student

and a faculty member. This interaction is documented in a log-in sheet to track

time of direct supervision through sessions between student and faculty.

A tuition fee of a course taken as independent study is similar to a normal course.

As such drop/add rules and refund policies are similar to a regular course.

Suspension

Student will be suspended from KIC if he/she exceeds the maximum duration of the

degree he is studying for. The student can be also suspended from a course or the

college because of academic or behavioral misconduct. In the latter case, when the

suspension happens during the semester, the student will be given an ‘F” grade (zero

grade point) for the course and/or other registered courses. If the student was

suspended only for a period of time, to retake the course the student has to pay the

suspended course and re-register and repay all related course fees.

Academic Advising

An academic advisor (a teaching staff member) is assigned to each student upon

enrolling in any KIC program.

An effective academic orientation program is organized during the first or second

week of their first semester by the Student Affairs Department in coordination with

all academic and administrative departments for all new students.

College Catalog

20 | P a g e

Academic Advisors

An academic advisor is assigned to each new student. The advisor is a teaching staff

member who is proficient in using data related to the students’ major.

Each student is introduced to advisor during the aforementioned orientation program

and receiving an email up on his/her registration with his advisor name and contact

information.

The academic advisor is responsible for duties that include, but are not limited to, the

following:

Follow-up periodically on student progression in their program throughout their

study period.

Discuss academic matters and issues that the student is facing and try to resolve

these issues through the appropriate channels.

Meet the student two times minimum per semester and maintain file(s) of

academic advising that contains details of all meetings, cases, registration

requests, and any other documents related to the advisees of the faculty

members.

Advise the students on the proper courses to register every semester to assure

smooth progression of the student in his/her study.

Share the updates and changes in institutional policies.

Follow-up on students’ attendance and meet them to discuss their attendance

issues.

Student’s duties in relevance to academic advising are as follows:

Attend meetings with the academic advisor regularly.

Approach the academic advisor when facing any issues.

Accept the advisor’s guidance related to proper progression and courses to

register.

Missed Assessments & Postponement

The Personal Mitigating Circumstances (PMC) protocols are used only when there has

been disruption to the student’s overall program of study extending over a number of

courses, or where there has been significant disruption to one course.

A PMC is typically used when a student has missed a proportion of a course(s) to the

extent that he is unable to complete the required assessments and/or he misses a

formal examination(s).

In such cases, students should submit a PMC application after discussing their situation

with their academic advisor and or the Student Affairs Department.

College Catalog

21 | P a g e

PMC applications are considered by the Academic Council's Panel and reported to the

department's Examination Board.

Students should be aware that the PMC process is not to be used as an

examination/assessment insurance (i.e. submitting one just in case they fail). Submitting

a PMC application does not guarantee a revised outcome.

Outcomes from a PMC application are broadly divided into three alternatives.

The application can be upheld. This normally happens when there is strong evidence

that student is / has been disadvantaged by events and he should be allowed to defer

their assessments to a date or dates to be agreed. If the person has taken the

assessment, and passed, the Exam Board will “note the PMC” and consider further

action only if the result is marginal pass / fail.

The application is rejected due to insufficient evidence. The outcome of this is that if the

student has taken an assessment and failed, or if he/she has failed to take an

assessment, then the student case shall be recorded as referred in that assessment.

If there is insufficient evidence to come to a decision regarding the validity of the

application, the student is asked to provide additional evidence, the outcome of which is

normally to either accept or reject the application.

PMC (IC) Fee is fixed to 500 AED.

Full instructions on how to apply and the relevant application form can be found at the

Student Affairs Department.

Certification

Khawarizmi International College will issue each student who successfully completes

the Associate/Bachelor Degree program with a transcript in English language, bearing

the marks and grades, which the student has obtained in each course, and the awarded

AGPA.

Undergraduate Completion Requirements

To be eligible for graduation, the student must satisfy each of the following

requirements:

Must have passed all courses of the curriculum in which the student is registered.

Must have achieved an AGPA of at least 2.00.

The student becomes a degree candidate when the Registrar certifies that the student

has completed the study program and met all requirements for graduation. The

Registrar recommends graduation to the College vice president for academic affairs.

Suspension/Intercalation

Due to inevitable circumstances encountering students during their studies, students

may intercalate for a maximum period of one academic year should this is supported

with appropriate and sufficient evidence.

Students are required to submit a formal request at the registration department with

supporting evidences. In this case of approval of student request, the students'

registration is suspended till further recommendation from the Head of Academic

Intercalation may be enforced in cases where the student has not shown up, submit

sufficient and acceptable evidence for a maximum of one academic year from the last

date of his/her registration.

The College reserves the right to cancel the student registration after this period subject

to the student statutory right of appeal. In this case the student will be required to apply

to the College as a fresher candidate.
