Student Council

The Student Council is an organization conducted by students and supervised by the Dean of Student Affairs. The purpose of the Student Council (SC) is to give students opportunities to develop communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills by organizing and carrying out university activities and service projects. In addition, they represent the voices of the student body and attend meetings with senior administration on a monthly basis. The SC speaks to the point on student ideas, interest and concerns with University wised community.

The Student Council follows parliamentary procedures and protocol. Ideas are presented, voted on and confirmed by the majority vote. Students interested in leadership, organizational behavior, event planning or becoming more involved in the University are welcome to nominate themselves for election to the SC.

At the beginning of each academic year, the Deanship of Student Affairs allocates the chance for students to nominate themselves. Following that, the Deanship reviews the applicants, if no violations exist, they are accepted. Afterward, an election process starts online, and by students only. After the nominees introduce themselves to the students on campus the voting process starts. When the voting deadline has passed, the Deanship takes the highest voted 9 nominees combined with three students from the previous council as consultants. The election process begins on October 6th and continues until the 10th of October, whereby the Student Council will begin to operate for 1 year and will end when the election for the following council has concluded in order for the handover processes to function efficiently.

Since 2010, thirteen Student Councils have been elected under the supervision of the Deanship of Student Affairs. The Deanship team looks forward to your participation, whether by nomination, or voting in the next election.
