Units of the Center:

First: Academic Counseling Unit

This unit is the main pillar of counseling and aims to help the student achieve his goal of entering the university most easily and efficiently by helping him to adapt to the academic system and overcome the difficulties that lead to his faltering.

The Concept of Academic Counseling:

Academic counseling is one of the most important inputs to the university education system. It is an important link that guides students to achieve the best performance during the teaching and learning processes to obtain the best educational outcomes and the best possible academic achievement. The academic counseling service also helps students adapt to the university environment and seize the opportunities available to them, by providing them with knowledge and basic skills that raise the level of their academic achievement. ​​

The concept of academic counseling can be procedurally defined as follows:

• Academic counseling is an ongoing and regular process that accompanies a student's career until graduation.
• Academic counseling is based on planning, setting goals, guidance, and communicating.
• Academic counseling is the responsibility of all faculty members, not just the Academic Counseling Unit. Therefore, all faculty members participate in the activities of academic supervision of students.

• Case study of an academically failing student
• Explaining the statements of academic counseling in the case study form of a student who is failing academically 
• College-to-Center Transfer Form
• Form No. 2 for the case study of an academically failing student
