Course Policies and Notes - SE 444: Introduction to AI

Based on official Alfaisal University policies as outlined in the Undergraduate Student Guide (USG)

1️⃣ Student Affairs Notes

📋 Academic Session and Exam Policies

  • Students must follow university policies as outlined in the Undergraduate Student Guide (USG)
  • Academic session dates, registration deadlines, and withdrawal deadlines are found at: https://www.alfaisal.edu
  • Final exam schedule will be announced by Student Affairs toward the end of the semester
  • Once academic and exam dates are announced, no rescheduling will be permitted. In the event of unforeseen circumstances leading to suspension of classes, submissions and exams will automatically move to the following session.

2️⃣ Attendance Policy

📊 Attendance Requirements

Students are expected to attend all lectures, labs, and tutorials.

⚠️ Dominial Notification (DN) Policy

  • If a student's attendance falls below 75%, a Dominial Notification (DN) grade may be issued
  • This percentage already accounts for emergencies such as illness or bereavement of an immediate family member, provided proper documentation is submitted
  • Excessive absenteeism will be reported and may affect scholarship eligibility or lead to administrative withdrawal

⏰ Tardiness Policy

  • Arriving ≤5 minutes late = marked "late" (Three late arrivals = 1 absence)
  • Arriving >10 minutes late = full absence

3️⃣ Electronic Device Policy

📱 Device Usage Guidelines

  • Mobile phones and laptops may not be used during class without the instructor's permission
  • Unauthorized device use will result in dismissal from class and a recorded absence
  • During exams, calculators are permitted (except calculators, if authorized)
  • Possession of mobile phone during an exam (even if off) will result in a score of zero (0) and may trigger disciplinary action

4️⃣ Student Work Submission Policy

📝 Submission Requirements

  • All homework, assignments, lab reports, and projects must be submitted on or before the deadline
  • Late submissions will incur penalties at the instructor's discretion, but will not be accepted beyond two days after the deadline (unless prior agreement exists)

📅 Deadline Policy

  • No extensions will be granted except in documented emergency situations
  • Students are responsible for managing their time and meeting all deadlines
  • Technical issues are not valid reasons for late submission unless they affect the entire university system
