During the past academic year, the Deanship of Student Affairs at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, through its Student Rights Protection Unit, organized a series of awareness programs, quality initiatives, and legal services, benefiting over 6,650 students.
The Deanship's efforts aimed to empower students with a deep understanding of their legal rights and the processes for asserting them. This was achieved through various educational programs, specialized workshops, and dialogue sessions. The Student Rights offices processed approximately 390 student complaints, addressing them in accordance with approved regulations, demonstrating the effectiveness of the university's complaint management system.
In terms of supporting particular groups, the Deanship provided mental and physical health support to 63 students in collaboration with King Abdullah University Hospital. Over 400 university housing requests were reviewed, and more than 130 students receiving social security benefits were followed up on. Additionally, academic support was offered to around 250 students with disabilities, promoting equal educational opportunities.
To raise awareness, the Deanship implemented several initiatives, including 47 field surveys aimed at service improvement, 14 introductory sessions for new students to foster a culture of rights, and the participation of 30 students in organizing rights-related programs. The "Success Without Anxiety" campaign was also launched to provide support during exam periods.
As part of its institutional development, the Deanship established a legal office within university housing to facilitate direct responses to student complaints. Furthermore, 19 permanent and temporary committees were formed, and 37 meetings were held to ensure effective and coordinated action across campus.
These efforts contribute to the objectives of the university’s 2025 strategic plan, aiming to promote a campus culture grounded in justice and equality. By providing a safe and supportive educational environment, the Deanship empowers students to understand and exercise their rights with awareness, responsibility, and confidence.
