Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
TEXT
Question one:
- What will I achieve once I graduate from the department of Computer Science, knowing that the specialization of computer science is part of the Qualifying Program?
- The graduates of computer science specialization will obtain the Associate Diploma (which is equivalent to the diploma awarded by community colleges); the holder of this certificate will directly join the labor market.
Question two:
- What will I achieve once I graduate from the department of English Language, knowing that the specialization of English Language is part of the Provisional Program?
- the graduates of the department of English Language will obtain a passing certificate which will enable them to pursue their study in the same specialization at university to achieve a bachelor degree.

- the graduates of the department of Business Administration will obtain a passing certificate which will enable them to pursue their study in a similar specialization at university to achieve a bachelor degree. Now there are two possible specializations (Business Administration and Mathematics, in the near future). Those who do not wish to pursue their higher education will be given an Associate Diploma which they can utilize to get a suitable vacancy in the labor market.
Question four:
- can I pursue my study at university although my specialization is part of the Qualifying Program?
- in the Qualifying program, a student gets a certificate enabling him to work but not to pursue his higher education. Some specializations might have a privilege like the Computer Science Specialization.
Question five:
- does the government guarantees employment for us after graduation, or should we seek for jobs?
- answering this question is very simple: what applies to any specialization of the faculties of the university or universities in general applies to the graduates of the community colleges, too. The Saudi labor market is open and provides a good room for competition. The government as it used to be always gives privilege to the Saudi graduates in all fields and seeks to develop and serve its educated youth.
Question six:

Question seven:
- it has been noticed that the building which the college occupies is not designed to be a college, does the college plan to have its own building?
- through this question we can confirm that a large size of land has been allocated to construct a suitable building equivalent to King Saud University faculties’ buildings, and it will hopefully be a milestone for a huge scientific complex which includes a number of specializations as soon as possible.
Question eight:
- what could happen to a student caught cheating in the first and second exams?
- the punishment of cheating in the first or the second exams could range from getting a zero to deprivation from entering the final exam or what the administration of the college decides to be suitable.
Question nine:

- the result of cheating in final exams is deprivation from the course in which a student caught cheating in, and this will delay him from joining his classmates as he will be redoing the course in the following semester.
Question ten:

- there is no doubt of that, and we should not forget that the distinguished students are always introduced by their institutions to be proud of them and to enable them to get distinguished vacancies in the private and public sectors.
Question eleven:
- can students organize cultural or sport clubs?
- in the light of the directions of our leaders, the university and the Ministry of Higher education work hard to enable our youth, the future of our country, to exercise all forms of students activities under the supervision of specialized experts through which it is possible to be trained and acquire expertise.
