Surplus courses - Batchelor's degree
The Hebrew University encourages students to take courses beyond the quota required for the degree according to their curriculum ("surplus courses"). Unlike other universities, we grant exemption from tuition fees for surplus courses to a certain extent.
A bachelor’s degree student may participate in surplus courses as a regular student, which means can submit assignments and be examined in the course, and have this reflected in the grades sheet. The expression is given in a separate category - "surplus courses" - in which the grade is not included in the weighting of the grades for the degree. These courses may be recognized for the purpose of higher degrees studies, in accordance to the relevant academic rules, as well as for the purpose of rewarding advanced study compensation in certain workplaces.
The students will be exempt from paying tuition fees for participating in these courses up to 10% of the full tuition fee provided that they completed their degree studies within the standard years and completed the minimum accumulation for the degree.
* With the exception of students studying in tracks where the tuition fee is fixed.
Free listeners
Graduate students are allowed to participate, in the status of "free listeners", in courses offered at the university, without charge of any fee. Participation in these courses does not include the submission of assignments and exams and has no expression in the transcript
