Academic Counselling Unit

About the Academic Counselling Unit

• Academic guidance is a cornerstone of university education, as it aims to guide students to obtain the best results, adapt to the university environment, and seize this window of the opportunities that are available to them, by equipping them with academic skills that raise their level of academic attainment. In view of the importance of academic guidance in the faculties of the University of Bisha, a specialized academic guidance unit has been set up to support and advice students.

• The responsibility of an academic guidance lies with all faculty members, not just the Academic Guidance and Support Unit, so all faculty members involve in academic supervision activities on students.
