 Enhancing the academic level of students
Dhofar University has completed all necessary measures, including the registration of new students and conducting placement tests to measure their levels in the English language, mathematics, and information technology. The University has a specialized center for IELTS that was inaugurated last year and it has established at the beginning of this academic year A Leaning Support Center for students that help them in different areas of their studies, most importantly learning English and computers and the Center has ambitious plans to extend its services to all other courses at the university. A guide was distributed to the new students showing the steps in the University registration system, which made student registration simple and easily.   The University adopted new methods of organization for welcoming new students and answering their questions that eliminated any congestion or confusion.
