Axes of Academic Advising
The axes of academic advising are:
1. The Student:
The student is considered the center of the academic process. Without organized and directed academic guidance, the student is responsible for becoming familiar with the university's rules and regulations once accepted. As a result of the individual differences between the students, some can know the rules and regulations and work to adapt to them. On the other hand, some are ignorant of many of those systems and regulations, leading to academic problems such as low grades, repetition, dismissal....etc., which bears its responsibilities due to ignorance of the systems and the ineffectiveness of the academic advising system.
2. The educational institution, which is:
•    Academic advisor: The role of the academic advisor (faculty members and their assistants) is to help the student make sound decisions that will help him succeed in his academic career.
•     Deanship of Admission and Registration: The role of the Deanship of Admission and Registration is summarized in registering the student's academic courses according to the academic advisor's signature on the registration forms. Follow-up monitoring of grades and students' academic records, as well as the unit, applies to the university's and college regulations and regulations according to the student's specialization.
•    The college is the body that issues study plans for each major and appoints the academic advisor after counting the number of accepted students and faculty members.
3. Updates on university systems and regulations
