Welcome
to the website of the Deanship for Academic Support Services at the University
of Sharjah (UOS). Established in 2006 to supervise, the deanship oversees,
strives to develop, and continuously improve the performance of five academic
support units. These units include: nine libraries distributed over the
different campuses of the University of Sharjah; the Central Educational & Research
Laboratories; the Admission & Registration Departments; CASTO; and the Student Records, Documents and Archiving Office.
In many occasions, the deanship has been described by top management as the
“central nerve” of the university simply because of the fact that every member
of the UOS community is affected in one way or another by the services we
provide. From providing simple IT technical support, to preparing academic
accreditation documents, to running the admission & registration processes
and developing admission and registration policies & procedures, to
providing comprehensive library resources, to running the well-equipped
educational as well as research laboratories, to providing customized IT
solutions, to upgrading the UOS infrastructure … our team of over 200 highly
qualified, motivated and enthusiastic individuals work very hard to make sure
that students, academic and administrative staff are provided with high quality
support services needed to help them execute their daily tasks and duties. To
learn more about the five departments/centers and the service they provide, I
encourage you to visit the websites of each these units.
Our goal is very clear and simple: “provide high quality services in timely
fashion to the UOS community (individual and units) to support them to achieve
their objectives”, which ultimately contribute to achieving the objectives
outlined in the UOS strategic plan.
We trust that you will find the information on our website very useful and we
invite you to visit it frequently for updates. We also welcome any comments and
recommendation.
