A Message from the Dean
Community colleges represent one of the educational institutions that prepare students who have completed high school to join the labor market. They also pave the way for distinguished students to pursue their university studies immediately after graduation. The Cabinet's decree No. 73, dated 5/3/1422 was issued to approve the Decree of the Supreme Economic Council No. 4/22, dated 4/3/1422 H that stated the inauguration of thirteen community colleges, which will be affiliated to the Ministry of Higher Education. AlKharj Community College (KCC) was one of those colleges.
First, AlKharj was affiliated with Al-Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University. Then, the was affiliated with King Saud University according to a cabinet decree issued on 5/7/1429. Last, it has been affiliated with Alkharj University (Salman Bin Abdulaziz University) since 1430. On the basis of the recommendations of the working committees, which discussed the bylaws of these colleges, the administrators of Salman Bin Abdulaziz University, including its rector, seek to implement comprehensive and flexible programmemesin the College in order to meet the needs of the local community and provide development plans with qualified graduates.
This guide includes an introduction about (KCC), its vision, mission and objectives. It also includes the prospective employment classifications of graduates in the labor market. In addition, it presents the departments, majors, the study programmes and all the information and guidance the students require in order to make thoughtful decisionswith regards to their future.
Finally, I urge all students to have serious keen motivation and hard work throughout their studies. They should regularly attend all classes and have the benefits of all the facilities in the College.
