Library The College library provides information, resources and services to support course offerings and foster independent study.The majority of the collection is available through TINLIB, the library on-line computer catalog. Terminals located in the library allow users to search the catalog by author, title, subject, keyword and other access points. In addition to books, periodicals, newspapers, company reports and government documents, the library provides CD-ROM periodical indexes to which students can have access upon request. Facilities also include individual study carries, copy services and microform reading and printing devices. Each campus has its own library. Students may borrow books from any of the campuses. Housing/Student Hostel The Office of Student Affairs assists students in finding suitable accommodation within reasonable distance from the college. A range of options is available, including a student hostel in Nicosia. The hostel has both single and double rooms, with shared kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Reservations are on a first-come-first-served basis: thus, interested applicants are advised to reserve a room as much in advance as possible through payment of a deposit (refundable on the day of departure). Many students prefer to live in shared houses or flats rented privately The Research and Development Center is a specialized unit dedicated solely to the promotion of applied research. The work of the Center revolves around two main axes: the first relates to scholarly research on economic, social, political, and cultural issues; the second relates to business and involves the offering of consultancy services as well as market research services to public and private corporations, small companies, foundations and other organisations. The Academic Year The Intercollege academic year follows the American system of higher education and is divided into semesters. An academic year consists of two main semesters (Fall and Spring), of 15 weeks duration, and two shorter, more intensive, Summer sessions.Each semester or session commences by students registering for a number of courses and ends with the examination week covering all of these courses.The academic calendar provides information on important dates in an academic year, such as when semesters begin and end, registration periods, examination weeks and holidays. Academic Programs, Majors, Courses and Credits Each student is enrolled in a program of study such as Business Administration or Computer Science: such programs of study are referred to as majors. Each program consists of different courseswhich must be completed in order to a student to graduate. In order to graduate from such a program a minimum number of credits must be completed. Credits normally represent hours of instruction. Each course normally carries 3-4 credits, which usually means 3-4 hours of lectures per week for a semester.The credits students earn must conform to a specific pattern of distribution. This means that, in addition to their major requirements, students are also required to earn credits from different groups of courses, such as: Written Expression, Computer Requirements, Liberal Arts, Social Sciences, etc. These groups of courses from which credits must be earned are specified by the student's program of study and appear in a sheet called the academic pathway. The academic pathway - or sequence of courses each student must take each semester - is determined by the student's degree requirements. Semester Course Load and Sequence of Courses The normal semester course load for regular full-time students is 15-18 credits. To qualify for this load a student must have either a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (G.P.A.) or a 2.0 grade point average (G.P.A.) in the previous semester or session. Only students with a GPA of at least 3.3 may be normally permitted to exceed 18 credits. Other students may be allowed to register for more than 18 credits in exceptional cases (if they are repeating at least one course, which they had previously passed but are retaking in order to raise their grade, or if they require a few extra credit hours during the last semester in order to graduate). In no case must the number of credits exceed 21. Classification of Students Student classification as freshman, sophomore, junior or senior depends upon the number of semester hours of credit successfully completed. Student designations are as follows: · Freshman: 0 - 24 · Sophomore: 25 – 54 · Junior: 55 - 84 · Senior: 85 or more · Graduate: Student pursuing a graduate degree On the basis of semester hour load, a student is classified as part-time or full-time during the academic year. A full-time student is one who is enrolled for at least twelve semester hours during a semester. A part-time student is one who is enrolled for less than twelve semester hours during a semester. Students’ Rights Intercollege students have the right to: Have representation on appropriate College committees, including: the Academic Committee, the College Council, the Disciplinary Committee, the Administration Committee, and the Appeals Committee; Suggest courses to be offered; Express opinions in class concerning the subject matter and in keeping with the College's statement on academic freedom;Evaluate College faculty and administration; Expect commitment from Intercollege staff; Submit petitions requesting: review of grades, review of courses, exemptions from academic regulations and review of decisions concerning disciplinary matters; Free speech and assembly, provided they are consistent with College regulations; Have all regulations concerning students to be communicated to them in appropriate publications. Academic Awards Intercollege offers academic awards at the Certificate, Diploma, Associate, Bachelor and Master Degree levels as follows: Undergraduate Awards Certificate This is awarded in only a few programs and represents one year's work, or 30 credits. Do minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) is required. The student must, however, complete all necessary program requirements. Diploma This is awarded in all areas and represents two years' work and requires at least 60 credits. The student must complete all program requirements with a minimum cumulative grade point average(GPA) of 1.3. Associate Degree This is awarded in all areas, represents two year's work, and requires at least 60 credits. The student must complete all program requirements with a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0. Bachelor Degree This degree is comparable to the Baccalaureate degree awarded in both the USA and the UK. It is awarded in several areas and represents at least 120 credits. A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 is required. Glossary
