Academic Advisor
An academic advisor is a faculty member chosen by the college council after being nominated by the academic department to guide the student and help solve any problems they may encounter during their studies. The advisor's role is advisory.
The duties of the academic advisor are as follows:
- Each academic advisor supervises a group of students.
- Assists students in achieving the required skills and targeted learning outcomes for graduates of each program.
- Provides advice and assistance in finding and reaching solutions to problems and difficulties they face inside or outside the campus by introducing them to university traditions and regulations, which directly or indirectly affect their academic performance.
- Monitors and supervises students' choices without obliging them to follow the guidance and directions given, ensuring that their choices are suitable for their needs, and intervenes with help and advice when necessary without waiting for the student to seek help.
- Develops a study plan for the student within their capabilities.
- Clarifies the student's progress according to the study plan through a specialization card for each student, recording all their data and results obtained.
- Helps students overcome any difficulties or problems they encounter in their coursework by strengthening the relationship between them and the faculty members.
