Dear Students,
The new era of globalization demands profound changes in educational policies, practices, emphasis and trends. The transformations
brought about by the globalizing capitalism, the information revolution, multi-ethnic markets, multi-cultural societies and cross-disciplinary requirements call for students contextualized creativity and individualized, localized and globalized life-long learning. The University
of New York, Tirana (UNYT) provides a new paradigm of knowledgeintensive, skills-intensive and technology-intensive Higher Education
that shifts efforts, intellectual assets and resources from a local to a
global setting. Through an amalgamation of liberal arts and business
education, UNYT trusts student-oriented educational processes and
utilizes intelligence-based (as opposed to subject knowledge-based)
curricula, thereby producing the future leadership of Albania.
The choice YOU will make with regards to your higher education is vitally important! If you do not content yourself with merely facing the
challenges of the future, then seize the future and mold it! UNYT can
show you the way how to do it!
Elias Foutsis
President and Founder of UNYT

cultures. These global challenges cut across academic disciplines and require perspectives beyond the training and
experience of a highly cross-disciplinary faculty team1.

Incomplete GRADES
The I (Incomplete) is received at the discretion of the instructor and at the request of the student only when the
student has completed at least three quarters of the required work for a course and where a personal emergency
prevents the student from finishing the work on schedule.
The student must complete the course by the middle of the
semester, following the award of an Incomplete grade or
the I will be converted automatically, without any notification, to an F. To request an Incomplete grade, both
the instructor and the student must fill out the Incomplete
Form at the Records Office.

Withdrawal
After the first two weeks, and four weeks before the end
of classes, students can withdraw from a course, but with
no refund. A form must be signed by the student and be
returned to the Records Office. The mark W will show for
the specific course on the students transcript without affecting the semesters G.P.A.
Failure
academic Standing
A student with a G.P.A. of 2.0 or higher is considered to be in
good academic standing. All students with a G. P. A. below
2.0 (C) receive a pre-probationary warning letter and are
urged to see their advisors and develop a Student Education Plan. If a student does not return to a good academic
standing status in the following semester, then he/she will
be put on academic probation. The transcripts of students
on academic probation or students who have been warned
for academic deficiency are reviewed by the Academic
Council at the end of each semester. When the minimum
G.P.A. is not met, the student is subject to dismissal from
the university. A student who is academically dismissed by
the Academic Council for the first time may appeal against
the dismissal to the Rectors office within the time period
stated in the letter of dismissal. If the students appeal is
approved, the student will be reinstated for the semester
following the semester of the dismissal. If a student does
not appeal, or the appeal is denied, the student may apply for readmission for a subsequent semester. Students
who have been dismissed a second time have no right of
appeal. The decisions of the Rectors Office are final. Freshmen on academic warning and students on probation may
be restricted from participating in certain activities and be
required to carry a restricted number of credits at their Departments recommendation.

Revisiting the benefits of higher education, HEFCE research, 2003). With this in mind, at UNYT we believe that
everyone should aspire to achieve a university education
and that no student should be deterred from applying to
our university solely for financial reasons. UNYT is therefore
running a limited scheme of competitive scholarships and
awards for outstanding undergraduate students studying
for a Bachelors Degree. UNYT offers two types of scholarships to incoming students based on the percentage of
fees covered. Full-fee scholarships are provided to the first
winners of UNYTs competition. For these students, all fees
associated with registration and course work will be provided. Other scholarships provide 50% of the fees. Each of
these scholarships will be provided for the students complete course of study. Assuming adherence to the terms
and conditions of the scholarships published annually at
UNYTs website, scholarships will cover all four years of
study leading to a UNYT Bachelors Degree. However, scholarship holders wishing to obtain a Bachelors from suny /
esc are required to cover the fees of the SUNY / ESC concentration courses by their own financial means. In addition, since September 2006 UNYT announces a scholarship
entitled Gramoz Pashko. This scholarship will be awarded
to the top candidate of UNYTs competition who intends to
study Economics or Finance. For this student, all fees associated with registration and course work that lead to the
UNYT Bachelors Degree will be provided for the complete
course of study.
Student Behavior
