A university student’s understanding of the rules and regulations governing the educational process within the college is essential for ensuring a smooth academic journey, free of obstacles or complications. Consequently, the role of academic advising is vital in fostering a distinguished relationship between students and faculty members through a system that introduces students to the college and its academic and student regulations, highlighting available fields and opportunities to help them select majors that align with their abilities, aspirations, and interests. It also assists them in making optimal academic progress and overcoming challenges by fully utilizing the services and facilities provided by the college. The College of Science was among the first to recognize the importance of academic advising in developing the educational process, as the Academic Advising Committee is formed at the beginning of each academic year under the supervision of the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, who, along with the heads of committees and departments, oversees the implementation and follow-up of academic advising programs according to a scientifically structured plan.
The Academic Advising Unit at the College of Science strives to provide guidance services that meet student needs and contribute to developing the skills necessary to achieve their academic goals. Furthermore, it seeks to enhance these services in alignment with international academic advising standards applied in various educational institutions.
Finally, academic advising helps students take responsibility for the teaching and learning process to achieve academic progress, as well as academic and professional success.

تعتبر معرفة الطالب الجامعى بالنظم واللوائح المنظمة للعملية التعليمية داخل الكلية أحد الوسائل التى تساعده على اجتياز الدراسة دون حدوث مشاكل أو عقبات. ومن هنا يبرز دور الإرشاد الكاديمى فى تفعيل علاقة مميزة بين الطالب وأعضاء هيئة التدريس بالكلية من خلال نظام يقوم بتعريف الطالب بالكلية وانظمتها الدراسية والطلابية، وما تتيحة من مجالات وفرص دراسية لمساعدة الطلاب على اختيار التخصصات التى تتناسب مع قدراتهم وامكاناتهم، وتوافق ميولهم ورغباتهم، وكذلك معاونتهم على التقدم فى الدراسة على افضل وجه ممكن، والتغلب على ما يعترضهم من عقبات، مستفدين الى اقصى درجة من الخدمات والامكانيات التى تقدمها الكلية. وقد كانت كلية العلوم من اوائل الكليات التى انتبهت مبكراً إلى أهمية دور الإرشاد الأكاديمي فى تطوير العملية التعليمية داخل الكلية، حيث تشكل لجنة الإرشاد الأكاديمي فى بداية كل عام دراسى تحت اشراف سعادة الدكتور/ وكيل الكلية للشؤون الاكاديمية والذى يباشر مع رؤساء اللجان والاقسام تنفيذ ومتابعة برامج الإرشاد الأكاديمي والتى تتم وفق خطة مبنية على أسس علمية.
وتسعى وحدة الارشاد الأكاديمي في كلية العلوم إلى تقديم خدمات إرشادية للطلاب بما يتوافق واحتياجاتهم وبما يسهم في تنمية مهاراتهم التي تعينهم على تحقيق أهدافهم العلمية، بالإضافة إلى تطوير هذه الخدمات بما يتوافق مع المقاييس العالمية للإرشاد الأكاديمي المطبقة في المؤسسات التعليمية المختلفة.
وأخيرا فإن الإرشاد الأكاديمي يساعد الطالب على تحمل المسؤولية في عملية التعليم والتعلم لتحقيق التقدم الدراسي و النجاح الأكاديمي والمهني.
Registration is conducted through the Banner system in accordance with the Deanship of Admission and Registration regulations.
It is mandatory to meet the minimum academic load each semester and fulfill the prerequisites for each course, if any.
At least 75% attendance of the lectures for each course is required; otherwise, the student will be denied from completing the course and will be considered to have failed it.
A student receives an academic warning if their GPA falls below 2 out of 5, and their enrollment is terminated if they receive three consecutive warnings.
Transfer from one department to another is permitted, provided that the student has completed 24 credit hours, including general courses, and achieved a GPA of at least 3.25.
Explaining the scientific material is the responsibility of the course instructors, not the advisor. Inquiries can be directed to the advisor in their capacity as a professor within the department, rather than as an academic advisor.
The academic advisor is responsible for guidance, planning, monitoring, and student care. This includes clarifying study plans and graduation requirements, as well as tracking student achievements and the execution of their academic plans (determining academic load, registration, adding, dropping, and withdrawal) by monitoring academic records and discussing them with students. Additionally, the advisor is responsible for addressing students' academic, behavioral, and social issues, as well as any obstacles hindering their educational attainment. They also receive student complaints and attempt to resolve them before escalating to the college administration, while providing support and counsel to underperforming students and nurturing gifted ones.
You can visit the advisor during office hours or by arranging a prior appointment.
The registration, withdrawal, drop, and add periods will be the most important times to meet with the advisor.
Communication can be conducted face-to-face, via office telephone, university email, or as directed by the advisor. Meetings take place either in the advisor’s office or in classrooms for group advising.
Cumulative GPA = The total points earned in all courses since the beginning of study, divided by the number of credit hours the student has registered for, excluding withdrawals.
This occurs in only one case: when the number of registered credit hours is the same across all semesters. If the number of hours varies, we must return to the points and hours method.
Pass - No Grade (NP) – Fail - No Grade (NF)
These grades do not affect the student's cumulative GPA; however, they are courses that must be passed, and their points are not added to the total. These grades were applied to certain courses during the Corona pandemic to avoid negatively impacting students' GPAs.
You have the right to know the grades of all semester and final assessments, review your answers, and discuss them with the instructor through direct communication, whether the grade has been officially approved or not.
In the event of a dispute, the academic advisor may be consulted, or a grievance may be submitted to the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs.
لThere are no restrictions or penalties for scientific discussions with faculty members, provided that the discussion remains within the bounds of decorum and proper conduct.
If the violation infringes upon the values and ethics recognized in society or the Islamic religion, and if the violation is proven, the university has the right to take appropriate action; because a student outside the university is a representative of their institution, and their behavior directly affects it.
