Academic Promotion
Students at Smart College are eligible for promotion if they have regular attendance and a clear disciplinary record. They should also fulfill the additional standard educational and discipline requirements, master the developmentally appropriate requirements for their class and meet grade expectations.
Promotion to the next level is contingent upon the successful completion of 2 out of 3 main disciplines: Arabic, Mathematics, and English.
1.1 Academic Probation
Starting from grade four, Smart College requires that students maintain standard educational and discipline requirements during the academic year. If a student fails to meet these requirements, he/she will be:
-
Placed on academic probation, or
-
Required to repeat a class if age permits, or
-
Asked to withdraw
1.2 Repeating a Class
Students who fail to fulfill the standard educational and disciplinary requirements may be allowed to repeat a class if the administration believes the student will benefit from repeating.
Retention will only be considered if the student:
-
Has not repeated a class before
-
Has a clear disciplinary record
-
Is of appropriate age
1.3 Make-up Exams and Summer Work
Students who fail to fulfill the promotion requirements are entitled to make-up exams if they fail in one major subject. If the student fails the make-up exam, or the summer work is incomplete, he/she will be placed on academic probation.
