About The Administration:

The Legal administration was established by a decision of His Excellency the President of the University No. 3/32/1/BC dated 13/05/1432 H. The Legal administration has sought with all its efforts to provide consultations to His Excellency the President and Vice Presidents to implement the law so that the university takes the correct legal processes. The legal administration is linked to all the university bodies by establishing functioning systems to these bodies, requiring each administration to commit to a particular method in performing the work assigned. The legal administration supervises the university adminstrations’ compliance with the law and rules and regulations. ​

 

Director’s Statement:

The legal administration derives its importance from its tasks and its representation of the university before the judicial bodies. This requires its employees to be aware of regulations and laws, review and understand them. The legal administration supervises the university’s work, alerts any legal violations that may exist, and provides necessary recommendations. It also prepares legal answers to possible messages from the authorities in coordination with the relevant bodies. Thus, it is a safety valve to ensure that all university work is proceeding in the right direction. ​We wish our university progress and prosperity under the leadership of His Excellency, the President, and all its employees.
