Important: Committee decisions are typically sent within ten business days to the student’s official university email address. Only petitions submitted with all required documentation will be considered.

Request to Take a Special Exam

Before submitting a request, we recommend reviewing the following special exam date regulations:

Application Period:

• Requests may only be submitted between March 12 – March 27, 2025.
• Requests must be submitted within one week of receiving the grade for the second exam date (Mo’ed Bet), and no later.

Submission Instructions

• Requests must be submitted using the online form, available on the Faculty of Humanities website under Academic Secretariat >> Special Exam Dates.
• The form will only be accessible during the official application period.

Courses Offered by Other Faculties

• Requests for special exam dates in courses offered by other faculties—even if listed under the Faculty of Humanities—must be submitted directly to the faculty offering the course.

Students who are approved for a special exam date but choose not to attend must notify the Academic Secretariat at least 48 hours prior to the exam. Failure to do so may result in a 200 NIS fine.

For additional questions, please contact the Faculty of Humanities Teaching Committee.

 

Request to Submit a Paper Late

According to university regulations, seminar papers and theses must be submitted within one month of the course’s conclusion. Papers should be submitted in accordance with the instructor’s guidelines—either as a printed copy via the departmental office or by email directly to the instructor, with the departmental office copied.

In certain cases, students may request an extension:

- Extension Until September 30: With the instructor’s approval only, the paper may be submitted by September 30 of the academic year in which the course was taken, without the need to submit a request to the Teaching Committee.

- Extension Until December 31: In exceptional cases students may request an extension until December 31 of the same calendar year. This requires written approval from both the instructor and department head, using the departmental extension form (available on the department website or from the departmental office).

- Extension Beyond December 31: Requests to submit a paper after December 31 require approval from the faculty Teaching Committee. Applications must include prior written approvals from the instructor and department head, as well as a new instructor approval for submission beyond December 31. Once approved, students must register for the course “Late Submission of Paper” and pay the course fee again.

 

Note: Submission after September 30 may prevent the student from receiving a diploma at that year’s graduation ceremony and may delay the official issuance of the diploma. It may also disqualify students from the Dean’s List of Honors.

Important: Papers submitted by the special December deadline will be considered final, and revisions or resubmissions will not be permitted.

 

To request approval, please complete the online form (Hebrew only).

Full regulations regarding written assignments can be found in the Teaching and Study Regulations, chapter 8.

 

Request for Course Credit Recognition

Students who wish to request credit recognition for courses completed at another university (not including student exchange programs) must submit a request via the university’s personal information website. Before contacting the Teaching Committee to request credit recognition, students are required to consult with their departmental advisor.

The following documents must be submitted along with the request:

• An official transcript from the institution where the courses were taken
• Course syllabi
• A recommendation from the departmental advisor
