3. Specific Admission Requirements

Undergraduate Study The University bases its decision for admission to undergraduate study on the following factors:

(a) A completed application form The application form may be obtained either in person from the Office of Admissions or by writing to the Director of Admissions.

(b) Official or certified transcripts of secondary (high) school records Applicants must submit an official transcript or a certified copy of their secondary school record together with the application. For candidates applying for admission with advanced standing, an official transcript of their previous college/university record is required.

(c) (i) Evidence of knowledge of English English is the language of instruction of most programs of study at E.U.C.. Applicants whose native language is not English will have to take the E.U.C. English Placement Test (EPT). Applicants who have passed either the TOEFL examination with a minimum score of 550, English G.C.S.E. (or G.C.E.), 'O' level with Grade 'C' or above or ELTS with a score of 6.5 and above are exempt from the English Placement Test.

(ii) Evidence of Greek language proficiency In situations where, a) the language of instruction in the programme is Greek and/or b) the graduates are expected to teach in Greek-speaking schools, or work in a Greek language environment, any of the following credentials is accepted as a testimonial of Greek language proficiency: 1. School-leaving certificate (Απολυτήριο) of a recognized six-year secondary education school in Greece or in Cyprus, provided the principal language of instruction is Greek; 5 2. C (or higher) at a Modern Greek GCE / A-level; 3. Certificate of success at the Ministry of Education and Culture examination for Greek language proficiency

4. Specific Arrangements for recognition of prior learning

Students who have started their university education elsewhere and wish to apply for admission to European University Cyprus as transfer students in the program of English Language and Literature, BA must submit the following items to the Office of Admissions:

1) A completed application form together with a non-refundable fee of €52. 2) Official transcripts of all academic records from each institution previously attended, including high school, college or university. 3) Official course descriptions or syllabi in English for all work completed at the college or university previously attended.

An official transfer credit evaluation will only be made if all of the above items have been submitted to the Office of Admissions.

Transfer Credit Evaluation Policy After having completed all procedures required for transfer admission, applicants for admission with advanced standing will be given a statement of credits accepted on transfer by the Office of Admissions before they enroll. Credits for courses which have an equivalency at European University Cyprus are accepted when earned with grade ‘C’ or above in a university level institution or program with admission standards acceptable to European University Cyprus.

For courses earned with a passing grade lower than ‘C’ the university may administer a qualifying/waiver exam.

Transfer credit is evaluated and applied in one of the following ways at European University Cyprus: 1) AS PARALLEL CREDIT. The course must involve at least the same amount of class time and have approximately the same content as the European University Cyprus equivalent; or 2) AS AN ELECTIVE. The course must be related in some manner to the student’s academic program and career goal. Also, in some cases credit which is deemed as liberal arts is normally accepted if such credit was earned in courses not specifically offered at European University Cyprus. Candidates who have successfully completed subjects from the G.C.S.E. (or G.C.E.) ‘A’ level may be awarded transfer credits depending on their field of study. In such cases, the number of transfer credits awarded can not exceed 12-13 credits for those studying for a bachelor’s degree. After having completed the procedure required for transfer admission, applicants will be given a statement of credits accepted on transfer by the Office of Admissions before they enrol. Transfer credits are not included in the calculation of the student’s GPA. Students applying for transfer credit must file a ‘Transfer Credit Evaluation Form’ at the Office of Admissions together with a non-refundable fee of €52.

Internal Regulations on Academic Ethics and Students’ Discipline

PREAMBLE E.U.C. European University - Cyprus is a community of scholars in which the ideals of freedom of inquiry, freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom of the individual are sustained. However, the exercise and preservation of these freedoms and rights require a respect for the rights of all in the community to enjoy them to the same extent. It is clear that in a community of learning, willful disruption of the educational process, destruction of property, and interference with the orderly process of the University or with the rights of other members of the University cannot be tolerated. Students enrolling in the University assume an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the University's function as an educational institution. To fulfill its functions of imparting and gaining knowledge, the University retains the power to maintain order within the University and to exclude those who are disruptive of the educational process.

POLICY AND PROVISIONS ON ACADEMIC ETHICS The University has a responsibility to uphold and promote quality scholarship and to ensure that its students understand what academic integrity is. This section outlines the University’s policy on dishonest academic performance by its students. Such offences carry penalties. Students should read carefully the Internal Regulations on Academic Ethics and Students’ Discipline, and are encouraged to ask Faculty for help and guidance on honest academic practice, particularly in using source material from the Internet. In this way they can avoid any unintentional dishonesty.

ORIGINALITY For the purposes of this Policy on Academic Ethics ‘original’ work is work that is genuinely produced specifically for the particular assessment task by the student whose name is attached to it. Any use of the ideas or scholarship of others is acknowledged. ‘Work’ includes not only written material but also oral, audio, visual or other material submitted for assessment.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Academic dishonesty is determined by the extent and the level of intent. In assessing the extent or scale of the dishonesty the instructor will evaluate how much of the work is the student’s own after all unacknowledged source material has been removed. In no case can work that is plagiarized be taken into account in determining a grade. Intent to deceive is the single most significant aspect of academic dishonesty. Repeated instances of deception will incur heavy penalties for the student and the violation will be officially and permanently recorded in the student’s record.

PLAGIARISM Plagiarism is representing the work of somebody else as one’s own. It includes the following: i. submission of another student’s work as one’s own; 14 ii. paraphrasing or summarizing without acknowledgement of source material; iii. direct quoting or word copying of all or part of a work, ideas, or scholarship of another without identification or acknowledgement or reference; iv. submitting as one’s own work purchased, borrowed or stolen research, papers, or projects.

CHEATING Cheating is giving or receiving unauthorized help for unfair advantage before, during, or after examinations, tests, presentations or other assessments, such as: i. collaboration beforehand if it is specifically forbidden by the instructor ii. verbal collaboration during the examination, unless specifically allowed by the instructor; iii. the use of notes, books, or other written aids during the examination, unless specifically allowed by the instructor; iv. the use of electronic devices and mobile telephony to store, transmit or photograph information to or from an external source; v. the use of codes or signals to communicate with other students in the examination room; vi. looking upon another student’s papers and / or allowing another student to look upon one’s own papers during the examination period; vii. passing on any examination information to students who have not yet taken the examination; viii. falsifying exam identification by arranging with another student to take an examination in their place or in one’s own place; ix. pretending to take the exam but not submitting the paper, and later claiming that the instructor lost it.

COLLUSION Collusion is false representation by groups of students who knowingly assist each other in order to achieve an unfair assessment advantage. It involves: i. representation of the work of several persons as the work of a single student with both parties knowingly involved in the arrangement; ii. representing the work of one student as the work of a group of students with both parties knowingly involved in the arrangement; iii. willing distribution of multiple copies of one’s assignments, papers, projects to other students for submission after re-labeling the paper as their own original work.

FABRICATION Fabrication is the false representation of research data or ‘performance’ material as original, authentic work for submission for assessment. Examples are: i. invention of data; ii. willfully omitting some data to falsely obtain desired results

PENALTIES AND PROCEDURES An instructor, after evaluating the extent of the dishonesty and the level of intent and proving academic dishonesty, may use one or a combination of the following penalties and procedures: i. requiring rewriting of a paper containing some plagiarized material; ii. lowering of a paper or project grade; iii. giving a failing grade on a paper; 15 iv. lowering a course grade; v. giving a failing grade in a course; vi. referring the case to the Senate for further action that may include academic suspension or expulsion.

Instructors are expected to report in writing to the Registrar’s Office (through their Chairperson of Department) all the penalties they impose, with a brief description of the incident, with copies sent to the Dean of the relevant School and the Rector. Should an instructor announce a failing grade in the course because of academic dishonesty, the student under penalty shall not be permitted to withdraw from the course.

It is expected that students will attend all class sessions scheduled for the courses for which they have registered. Rules for absenteeism are established and administered individually by instructors. In general, absences from class and/or laboratories will affect the final grade. In cases of personal or medical emergency, a student has to receive permission for absence from classes from his/her instructor, or if this is not possible, to inform the instructor and bring relevant medical certification. In any case, students are responsible for making up missed course work.

At the end of each semester and summer session, final grades are mailed to all students to their permanent or mailing addresses and are recorded on their permanent academic record in the Registrar's Office.

The Under graduate grading system used by EUC is as follows:

Letter Grade Grade Meaning Grade Points Percentage Grade

A Excellent 4.0 90 and above B+ Very Good 3.5 85-89 B Good 3.0 80-84 C+ Above Average 2.5 75-79 C Average 2.0 70-74 D+ Below Average 1.5 65-69 D Poor 1.0 60-64 F Failure 0 I Incomplete 0 W Withdrawal 0 P Pass 0 AU Audit 0

(a) The grade "I" is awarded to a student who has maintained satisfactory performance in a course but was unable to complete a major portion of course work (e.g. term paper or final exam) and the reasons given are acceptable to the instructor. It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the instructor to justify the reasons for the missing work and to reach an agreement on the means by which the remaining course requirements will be satisfied. A student is responsible, after consulting with the instructor, for fulfilling the remaining course requirements within the first four weeks of the following semester for which an "I was awarded. In very special cases the instructor may extend the existing incomplete grade to the next semester. Failure of the student

16 to complete work within this specific time-limit will result in an "F" which will be recorded as the final grade. (b) The grade "W" indicates withdrawal from the course before the specified time as explained in the withdrawal policy. (c) Grades of "P" will not be computed into a student's cumulative grade point average but will count towards graduation credits. (d) Grades of "F" will be computed into the student's cumulative grade point average. (e) Students enrolling for an Audit must designate their intent to enrol on an Audit basis at the time of registration. Students registering for a course on an Audit basis receive no credit. (f) Grades for courses taken at another university do not enter into the computation of the cumulative grade point average.

Averaging Grades A Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) is determined for each student at the end of each semester. The grade point average (G.P.A.) is computed by multiplying the number of credit hours of each course by the grade points equivalent to the letter grade received and then adding them. The sum total is then divided by the total number of credit hours for which the student has received a grade. Grades reported as "I", "W", "P" or "AU" are not computed in the average.

COURSES ON A PASS/FAIL BASIS Undergraduate students in good academic standing may choose up to 12 semester hours of credit towards a degree to be graded on a pass-fail basis. A student may be allowed to take a maximum of two courses on pass/fail basis per academic year. Courses in a student's major and those considered as correlated to his major, cannot be taken as pass/fail. Only a grade of "F" will be computed into the G.P.A. Students must notify the Registrar's Office of their intention to take a pass/fail course within the first two weeks of a Fall or Spring semester, or the first week of a summer session.

WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSES Students receive no credit for courses they choose to withdraw from. All withdrawals are subject to the tuition refund policy cited in the University Bulletin. a. Withdrawal initiated by student A student has the responsibility to officially withdraw from a course that he or she does not intend to complete. A student must complete the official “withdrawal form” and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. Students who withdraw from a course before the dates listed below will receive a grade of ‘W’ that will not affect the student’s G.P.A.

Fall and Spring Semesters: End of tenth week of classes Summer Session: End of third week of classes1

Students who do not file for withdrawal with the Registrar’s Office within this time continue to be registered for the course(s) and if they have not completed the requirements of the course(s), will be assigned an ‘F’ as a final grade. b. Withdrawal initiated by the instructor

17 An instructor may request withdrawal of a student from a course because of non- attendance and/or inappropriate registration (the student not meeting the necessary course prerequisites). The instructor must inform the Registrar’s Office for such withdrawal. Withdrawal initiated by the instructor can be done before the tenth week of classes for Fall and Spring Semesters and before the third week of classes for Summer Session.

CHANGE OF GRADE Once grades have been submitted to the Registrar's Office no changes are allowed, unless an instructor completes a "Grade Change” form, in which he/she explains that a legitimate error has been made in the calculation of a student's grade.

APPEALS PROCEDURE In the case where a student believes that the grade received is different from what was expected, he/she must exhaust all possibilities of resolving the problem with the pertinent instructor first. If this does not lead to a resolution, the student may appeal against the grade by filing a petition with the Registrar's Office. The Registrar will forward a copy of the petition to the pertinent Chairperson of Department, who will first ascertain that no error was made by the instructor, and if so will assign an anonymous re-evaluation of the final examination/project to another instructor. In the case of major discrepancy between the instructor’s evaluation and the re-evaluation that will require change of grade, the average of the two evaluations will be assigned as the final grade to the final examination/project. Changes of grades resulting from an appeal require the endorsement of the Dean of School. For a petition to be reviewed, a student must appeal within four (4) weeks from the date the results are announced.

12. Graduation Requirements

Criteria for graduation of undergraduate students In order to qualify for graduation an undergraduate student must fulfil the following: 1. Complete the degree requirements of the program as specified in the Bulletin. 2. Complete at least the last two years or 60 credits or 120 ECTS in residence at EUC, unless the Law provides otherwise. 3. Maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 2.00 for all credits taken at EUC. 4. Settle all financial obligations to the University before certification for graduation is granted.

Criteria for graduation of post-graduate students In order to qualify for graduation a post-graduate student must fulfil the following: 1. Complete the degree requirements of the program as specified in the Bulletin. 2. Complete at least the last two thirds of the program in residence at EUC, unless the Law provides otherwise. 3. Maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.00 for all credits taken at EUC. 4. Settle all financial obligations to the University before certification for graduation is granted.

Application for Graduation Students who meet all graduation requirements listed above must file an application for graduation with the Registrar's Office. Application forms are available at the Registrar's 18 Office. A graduation fee is due at the time of application. The University will not be responsible for the graduation of any student who fails to submit the application for graduation.

GRADUATION AUDITS Evaluation of courses for graduating students is done two weeks after the final exams. After the semester’s grades have been processed, the Registrar’s Office will check the student’s academic records to ensure that the student qualifies for graduation. Students who face problems fulfilling course requirements towards their degree must consult the Registrar’s office.

PROCEDURE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A DEGREE Degrees are issued three times a year, approximately two months after the end of each semester. The Registrar’s Office will proceed to issue a Degree when a student meets all graduation requirements. The President, the Rector and the Registrar sign the degree.

GRADUATION CEREMONY Students who wish to attend the annual Graduation and Awards Ceremony of the University, must file an application with the Office of Student Affairs by March 30th. Students graduating at the end of the Fall Semester are allowed to attend the Spring Graduation Ceremony. It is the policy of the University to allow students who are expected to graduate in the Summer Session to take part in the Graduation Ceremony immediately preceding. Degrees are not awarded at the Graduation Ceremony. Participation in the Graduation Ceremony does not imply that the student has completed graduation requirements.

GRADUATION HONOURS Bachelor degree students are identified for high academic achievement as follows:

SUMMA CUM LAUDE final G.P.A. of 3.85-4.00 MAGNA CUM LAUDE final G.P.A. of 3.65-3.84 CUM LAUDE final G.P.A. of 3.50-3.64

To be eligible for honours, students must complete at least 60 credits at EUC. Only EUC credits are considered in determining eligibility for such honours.
