The Chairman opened the session by welcoming the attendees and commending the efforts made to ensure the success of the educational process. The Council then proceeded to discuss the items on its agenda:

I. Directives of the Honorable Dean

During the session, the Dean emphasized several pivotal points to ensure the regular progression of the educational process, most notably:

• Academic Commitment: Strict adherence to the schedule of lectures (theoretical and practical) according to the announced timings, ensuring the presence of both faculty and students in halls and laboratories.

• Time Management: The necessity of making the most of the remaining period of the second semester to complete the curricula, ensuring the scientific rigor of the material.

• Examination Readiness: Preparation of all logistical and technical requirements by scientific departments and examination committees for the mid-semester exams, providing a suitable environment for students.

II. Student Affairs

Based on the principle of transparency and involving students in decisions regarding their academic career, the Council discussed the following:

• Student Representation: Hosting the student representative in the session to discuss student issues directly. The Dean directed his official inclusion in segments related to student affairs to serve as an effective liaison and a voice for his colleagues before the Council.

• Examination Schedule: Reviewing the proposed examination schedule for the second semester. The Council listened to the feedback of the student representative regarding the timing of subjects, working to resolve obstacles and find appropriate solutions to ensure a smooth examination process without scheduling conflicts.

III. Quality Assurance and University Performance

Within the framework of the college’s endeavor to obtain local and international accreditation, the following files were discussed:

• Quality Requirements: A comprehensive review of the latest updates to quality standards issued by the Ministry and the University Presidency, emphasizing the need for all departments to strictly implement academic documentation.

• Accreditation Committees: The Council discussed mechanisms for forming specialized committees tasked with preparing program and institutional accreditation files, defining the duties of each committee according to specific timelines.

• Industrial Advisory Board: Discussing the proposal to establish the "Industrial Advisory Board" at the College of Pharmacy.

Concluding Recommendation:

"Based on the above, the Dean directed the Heads of Departments and Coordinators to follow up on the implementation of these recommendations immediately and to work as one team to raise the scientific and administrative level of the college. We wish our dear students continued success."
