4. Orientation programs for new teaching staff
Orientation programs provided? Yes, No If offered how many participated?
a. Brief Description
The inductance week aims to introduce the new faculty members with university regulations and rules.
A booklet of these regulations contains the following:
• Guide to edugate system
• Guide to Blackboard
• Examinations instructions
• Regulations Governing the Promotion for faculty members
• Regulations for non-Saudis employees
• List study and tests for undergraduate
• Uniform Rules for Scientific Research
• The rules of the faculty members
b. List recommendations for improvement by teaching staff.
For the purpose of improvement of orientation week process, the faculty members recommend the following:
• The induction booklet contents should be in English language as some materials were downloaded from the university website are Arabic language.
c. If orientation programs were not provided, give reasons.
