“Closer to You” Initiative for Academic Support
Jouf University’s Vice Presidency for Educational Affairs, represented by the University Guidance Department, launched the “Closer to You” initiative. The initiative provides an on-site presence for the university guidance team across the university’s colleges throughout September 2026 to support academic advisors and students.
The initiative focuses on direct engagement with students, listening to their views and suggestions, and identifying the academic challenges they face. It aims to support their progress toward academic success and help them benefit from available guidance services.
The initiative serves students across all university branches, including master’s and doctoral students, students with disabilities, and international students, taking their diverse guidance needs into account.
This initiative forms part of the Vice Presidency’s efforts to strengthen communication with students, make guidance support more accessible within their colleges, and support their continued academic progress.
