Counseling Services
The Student Success Office also provides an essential service to students through the available counseling services. Counseling services at the Khalifa University of Science and Technology are designed to help students cope with their everyday challenges to ensure they reach their full potential and succeed. It is important that students deal with their challenges before they become overwhelmed. The University counseling team help students develop the skills necessary to overcome any challenges they may face while studying at the University. They are devoted to aiding in the academic, emotional, social, and intellectual development of our students. The goal is to empower students and support them in creating a lifelong change that will stay with them to fulfill their dreams and reach their full potential. Counselors are available to support students with social issues, life adjustments and offer encouragement. The support is offered through one-on-one sessions, group counseling, campaigns, and workshops covering various topics catered to the needs of the students. Counseling services also assist students with special needs by offering special accommodation to ensure they are not disadvantaged because of their disability. The guiding principle of counseling is built on trust; hence all counseling sessions are held to high level of confidentiality.
In addition to the above, the Student Success Office is responsible for approving students' excused absences and official business absences per the established policy and procedures.
