Policies & Procedures

With the evolution of its vision, mission, and strategic objectives, Dar Al-Uloom University (DAU) has revised and enhanced its policies and procedures to create a framework that encompasses its educational philosophy, curriculum, rules, and regulations, as well as to ensure their effectiveness.

Academic and administrative matters are covered in these updated policies and procedures, including management and governance, quality assurance, education, faculty and staff, students, learning resources, information technology, finance and risk management, scientific research, and community engagement. DAU’s policies and procedures comply with the regulations and systems established by relevant authorities, as well as the standards set by academic accreditation bodies.

To ensure that the policy and procedure manual is transparent and inclusive, the General Directorate of Planning, Development, and Quality Assurance has implemented a collaborative review process by involving the Policy Development Committee, Policy Review Committee, Quality Assurance Directorate, and various  DAU’s stakeholders. A wide dissemination of the manual is conducted through various communication channels to raise awareness among all DAU stakeholders.
