Academic staff

The program aims at qualify IT specialists in the field of information technology and information system management who have basic knowledge in business management science, and are able to play the role of a mediator among the institutions that evaluate IT solution, and the other various Commercial, industrial or academic institutions ... etc, which need these solutions in their work.

The university also finds that it is necessary to create two specializations in this program

- Specialization of Management of Information System (MIS)

- Specialization of Information Systems and Data Networks (ISDN)

Registration

To be admitted into BAIT program, the applicant must have one of the secondary certificates determined by the University Council at the beginning of each semester. The student will select one of the two majors before enrolling in the second semester and will complete at least 10 credit hours.
To be admitted to the computer upgrade program affiliated with the IT program, the applicant must have obtained one of the certificates of the intermediate computer institutes or equivalent, which is determined by the university council at the beginning of each semester. The student then selects one of the two majors immediately after joining the program.
Admission to the commercial institutes upgrade program affiliated with BAIT program requires that the applicant must have obtained a diploma from the intermediate commercial institute or equivalent, which is determined by the university council at the beginning of each semester. These students are then entitled to only study Information systems and Data Networks.
The applicant shall pay the registration fees set in the financial regulations of the University and the fees determined by the University Council annually.
Students are admitted as follows:

Registration takes place at the beginning of each term. Students begin their study immediately after registering and paying the fees incurred according to the financial system of the Virtual University.
At the beginning of each term, the university administration determines the admission criteria for students who wish to register;
At the beginning of each term, the student may choose the new courses he/ she wishes to study in this term from the available courses (courses that have open classes for teaching), provided that they have registered in all the courses that precede the selected new courses according to the tree of precedence of courses and that they have submitted their examinations.
In each term, students can register for a maximum of 40 credit hours (including English courses) if all selected courses have open classes and the selected courses follow the precedence of courses.
In each term, students may register for a minimum of 10 credit hours (including English courses) if all selected courses have open classes and the selected courses follow the precedence of the courses.
The student takes the English language placement examination and is exempted from the levels they have passed in the exam.

Studying duration

The maximum duration of the student's study in upgrade programs is five years.
The maximum duration of the student's study after the high school is nine years.
The student, who is registered after the high school, is raised from one year to the next, if he can get minimum credit hours (including English-language hours) as shown in the following table:

Next academic year	Minimum number of credit hours a student must succeed in (out of 255 credit hours for the specialization of information systems and communication networks, out of 253 credit hours for Management Information Systems MIS)
Second	25
Third	75
Fourth	140

The levels from which the student is exempted in English are calculated according to the level of the placement test as part of this minimum, and the credit hours are calculated equivalent to subjects that have been exempted as part of this minimum and as credit hours previously obtained by the student and included in the upgrade.

4. The student, who is registered after the upgrade programs of the commercial institutes from one year to the next, if he can get a minimum of credit hours (including English-language hours) as shown in the following table. The levels from which the student is exempted in English are calculated according to the level of the placement test as part of this minimum, and the credit hours are calculated equivalent to subjects that have been exempted as part of this minimum and as credit hours previously obtained by the student and included in the upgrade :

Next academic year	Minimum number of credit hours a student must succeed in (out of 183 credit hours )
Fourth (first upgrade)	30
Last semester	90

5.The student, who is registered after the upgrade programs of the computer institutes from one year to the next, if he can get minimum credit hours (including English-language hours) as shown in the following table. The levels from which the student is exempted in English are calculated according to the level of the placement test as part of this minimum, and the credit hours are calculated equivalent to subjects that have been exempted as part of this minimum and as credit hours previously obtained by the student and included in the upgrade :

Next academic year	Minimum number of credit hours a student must succeed in (out of 159 credit hours for the specialization of information systems and communication networks, out of 168 credit hours for MIS)
