Registration

Enrolment and Registration

Students admitted to Bahrain Polytechnic must maintain a valid enrolment. They are required to register for courses each semester or formally request a leave of absence (break from study) by the published dates on the academic calendar. Students who do not maintain their enrolment will be considered to have abandoned their course of study and their enrolment at Bahrain Polytechnic is cancelled. Refer to the Enrolment and Academic Progression Policy and Procedures for full details.

Registration

Registration is the process through which students formally register in courses at Bahrain Polytechnic.

All degree students can log in to  Self-Service  Banner (SSB) to register for classes. Foundation students are registered in the required classes based on Entry test results.

All students can see their timetables in SSB, see policies, notices, and requirements on Moodle under “News and Information”.

New Students

Information on registration is given to new students at confirmation. An announcement with registration information is also published prior to each semester on the Bahrain Polytechnic Website home page. Help is available on campus for Degree students to register using SSB.

At the New Student Orientation, information is provided on car stickers and lockers, and students can collect their Student ID card.

All Students

Each Programme has Compulsory and Elective courses that must be completed in no more than twice the length of the programme to gain a qualification. Some courses are only available for students studying towards particular qualifications.

The Registry Student Information Centre (SIC) in building 8 provides students information and the forms needed to complete enrolment formalities. Academic Staff provide students with academic advising.

Forms and requests submitted to the SIC will be processed by the relevant departments. Students will be informed by the outcome from relevant departments. See the Policies on Moodle, the Academic Calendar or Registry SIC staff for information or requests for official Academic Transcripts and letters.

Students who are planning to not register for courses must apply for Leave of absence (a break from study) or withdraw (leave permanently) before the closing date or they will be considered to have abandoned their study and their enrolment at Bahrain Polytechnic will be cancelled.

Bahrain Polytechnic Courses

A course is the smallest component of delivery in which a student usually can be enrolled, consisting of defined learning outcomes, requirements and assessments. Bahrain Polytechnic programmes are made up of one or more courses, requiring students to formally enrol at Bahrain Polytechnic, and usually leading to a qualification or other award.

The Polytechnic’s courses and credits have been mapped against the Bahrain National Qualifications Framework and international norms for the amount of study required. The Polytechnic has rigorous processes for approval and review of all courses and ensures that all courses have clearly formulated learning outcomes that are maintained in a Course Descriptor. Each semester, the courses offered to students enrolled in a programme vary, and information about the courses offered is on Self Service Banner, the website and is also available to enrolled students on Moodle. Students are advised to attend academic advising with their programme manager to ensure they are fully aware of the requirements to graduate and can discuss their academic progression.

Bahrain Polytechnic Short Courses, Workshops and Seminars

The Polytechnic offers short courses, workshops, and seminars for staff, students and the community. These are advertised on the website.
