A dropout or a terminated student who was impeded by personal obstacles, that the respective College Graduate Office excuses, may resume studying in a program on the subsequent recommendation of the GS and the final approval of the University Council. However, the following conditions should also be considered:
- On the lapse of more than six semesters, a terminated student shall be treated as a new student regardless of the number of semesters completed in the program.
- On return after six semesters or less, a terminated student may be asked to repeat some of the courses already covered. Courses should be specified by the College Graduate Office and approved by the GS; the courses studied earlier are to be counted within the cumulative grade average after resuming study; the period spent in the program before termination is also to be counted within the maximum time limit for obtaining the degree.
Credit transfer will be granted to approve courses and students will be assisted to register in next courses at Alfaisal. Also, students who take courses in summer semester (after taking approvals from the Dean of Admission & Registration) will have their courses credited (if they maintain proper GPA in each course) and will be assisted to register in the courses.
A student should be familiar with the registration policies and guidelines. Understanding fully all registration aspects will help avoiding any mistakes or confusing which might cause aggravating results.

A student should be familiar with the course descriptions and study plans by having a copy of the Graduate Catalog.
Registration Staff will make sure that all current students are registered appropriately as per regulations and policies. Students on the other hand should communicate with designated staff when facing problems regarding registration.
