The process of registering for courses and building a time system
The process of registering for courses and building a timetable will be done independently by the student via the Internet.
For your convenience, a link is attached to a
demonstration video that explains how to perform the process.
We will be happy to assist you with any questions or problems that may arise during registration:

Consultants for building a curriculum
The Department of Arts provides students with consultants to build a curriculum. The advisors are members of the senior academic staff in the department, and appointments rotate at the beginning of each academic year. The role of the academic advisors is to assist the student in formulating the composition of the courses, which will meet both the requirements of the department and the track as well as the student's personal wishes.
Any contact to the consultant will be made by personal coordination via email.
For each degree and/or year of study during the degree there is a different advisory belief,
according to the detail below:
b.a. studies:
Prof. Sarah Offenberg - offenbergs@gmail.com
creative studies:
Dr. Maain Amir- maayan.amir@gmail.com
questions:
*How many credits do you need to study during the degree?
During the degree, the student must accumulate 120
credits, of which 108 credits are taken as part of studies in the department(s)
and 12 credits are taken as part of general studies.
*What courses should I take?
The courses are divided into compulsory courses and
elective courses. You must complete a system of about 20 credit points per
semester.
Elective courses can be taken from the courses that
are open for your academic year (after placing the compulsory courses you can
enroll in up to two elective courses, but due to the load that may be created
in the system it is recommended to wait with the elective courses until the
second semester or even the second year.) You must also take during the degree
12 Credits from general studies (department code is 151).
*How and where is registration for courses done?
You can access the course registration system using this link.
*Is registration for courses annual?
The faculty copies annual courses, but the student
must make sure that the course has been copied to the second semester properly.
In any case, the faculty secretariat will send a notification
about the dates and the registration process to each student's personal email.
*How can I make an appointment for advice and
guidance?
You can contact Mrs. Rosalin Meman, the department
coordinator, during the reception hours held on Sunday - Thursday between the
hours: 11:00-13:00.
*I am a dual-department student and one of the
classes coincides with a course from the second department, what do I do?
If you are interested in enrolling in two courses
that overlap, the department recommends taking one of the courses the following
year.
If both courses are a prerequisite for the
following year (a situation that can only arise if you study in two or more
departments), you can contact both lecturers with a request for approval of
participation in both courses. Lecturers who approve will forward the request
in writing to a faculty teaching committee which will give its final approval.
Please note, if this is not addressed by the end of
the change period, both courses will be removed from your schedule and you will
bear the costs of the fine for this
*How will I know about a class cancellation?
The secretary of the department, the lecturer or
practitioner will make sure to inform the student about the cancellation of a
class through the personal email.
A student who chooses to use the university email
as well as an additional personal email will be responsible for
monitoring In faculty and departmental messages sent to the university
email.
*Can I contact the lecturer with questions by
email, and how will I know his address?
You can contact the lecturer with questions by
email. The lecturer's email address can be seen on the department's website
under the 'Department Staff' menu.
*When are the exams held?
The exams are held at the end of the semester and
last about 5 weeks. This period is called "exam period".
Exam dates will be published close to the end of
the semester on the department's website, under "exam schedule".
*Is the attendance in classes mandatory?
It depends on the course instructor. In the first
lesson, the lecturer will inform if attendance is mandatory.
*What is a passing grade in the course?
In introductory courses, a passing grade in the
course is 56, unless the lecturer decides otherwise.
Transfer to the second year is conditional on
receiving a general average of 70 in the compulsory courses.
*How and when do I appeal a test score?
You can appeal an exam grade up to about a week
after the grades are published.
The appeal will be made via email, in addition to
attaching the exam file.
*What is a teaching committee?
A teaching committee discusses all areas related to
teaching, the curriculum, recognition of courses
from recognized academic institutions, exempt and
more.
*I did not agree with the
teaching committee ruling. Can I contact the head of the department about this?
No. Above the departmental teaching committee there
is a faculty teaching committee to which you can appeal.
