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 programmemes in 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 decisions with 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.

Alumni Affairs

Business Administration Department is considered one of the most

popular departments in the college as it is highly demanded by students.

It is the biggest department in the college due to the various programmess

offered to the students (i.e. accounting, marketing and secretarial and

office management). Notably, 30% of the graduates are already

employees in governmental and private sectors, especially in the

governorates of AlKharj and Riyadh. This is a clear indication of the

contribution that the department helps develop the human resources

members in the public and private sectors. It is worth mentioning that

almost 75% of the graduates are already employed by the public and the

private sectors. This gives strong evidence that those graduates enjoy a

high level of competence and commitment. The department has never

hesitated to exert any efforts in building channels of communication with

those graduates through many workshops and alumni meetings.

Department of English at (KCC), Salman Bin Abdulaziz

University offers an Associate Diploma programme in English Language

that aims at providing students with specialist knowledge in English.

Throughout the courses of the programme, the Department aims at

enhancing the student's competence in the language skills, critical

thinking and literature. The Department realizes the crucial role that

translation plays in developing the linguistic competence of the students.

Hence, it offers the students a number of basic courses in translation to

enable them to acquire the necessary principles and techniques of

translation.

Being keenly aware of the University mission and goals, the

Department, in cooperation with the Community Service and Continuing

Education centre, has already prepared several different courses to meet

the needs of the local community. In order to accomplish these goals, the

Department employs a number of competitively selected and highly

qualified faculty. The Department also uses two language labs for

teaching its computer-based language courses.

About the Department:Department of English was established in 1423 (2002)as a part of

Department offers an Associate Diploma in English language. Besides, it

provides language skill courses and other courses in business English and

technical English to support the other two departments in the College and

help their students successfully cope with their fields.

writing. The intensive course aims to improve the students' ability in

these skills and to prepare them to join the English Department.

Upon successful completion of the intensive course, the students

join the actual academic English programme. Over the course of two

years, they are exposed to skill courses and linguistics courses. In

addition to the advanced courses that they study in language skills, they

study courses in linguistics, literature and translation. In more specific

The club enhances the cooperation between the students and the staff members in a relaxed atmosphere. The club

includes ten members. Four are instructors appointed by the Department council every two years. The other members are students who represent the different levels of the English department and the other two departments of the college.

Objectives and Activities English Language Club aims to accomplish the following objectives:

Club Philosophy The philosophy of the English Club is to find auspicious opportunities for students to practice English in a relaxed atmosphere. It tries to open all the channels of learning English which must not be limited to the classroom environment. Students must effectively get involved in English and use it as a medium of communication as much as they can. The

English Language Club offers some techniques and activities that cannot be applied within the classroom environment. The Club invites students to enjoy learning English. It is a modest attempt to develop students’ English proficiency.
