Office of the Student Affairs
The Office of Student Affairs is considered the student’s gateway to non-academic life at the university. It focuses on enhancing student participation in university life by providing an environment that develops their skills in psychological and social aspects, as well as discovering and nurturing their artistic talents.
The Office of Student Affairs is responsible for organizing various activities, exhibitions, and student festivals, and it offers support and guidance for establishing student clubs. It also provides students with academic and behavioral guidance to find solutions to personal and social issues that may hinder their academic progress. Additionally, it assists them in overcoming economic challenges during their studies by facilitating scholarship applications or seeking job opportunities for them both inside and outside the university.
The role of the Office of Student Affairs is not limited to supporting university students during their study years; it also follows up with graduates in their professional and personal journeys, providing support in choosing suitable careers and training them in the skills required in the job market to enhance their competitiveness.
