Academic Support
Orientation
Orientation for new students is provided at the beginning
of each Fall Semester at which time they are given a copy of the
student regulations in Arabic. A detailed explanation of the academic
program and a tour of the campus are included.
Advising
During the first semester students are assigned to
an academic advisor to assist them in selecting the proper courses
for their chosen program of studies. Students however, must assume
responsibility for understanding their own academic program and
for meeting all requirements.
Counseling Services
Bethlehem University provides professional counseling
to assist students who are facing psychological problems resulting
from individual, family, social or academic difficulties. Counseling
services, available on both an individual and small group basis,
include providing personal assistance, intervening in crisis situations,
referring students to community agencies, and acting as a preventive
service for special need groups. The counselor-student relationship
is one of total confidentiality based on trust, understanding and
sensitivity.
Office of Campus Concerns
The Office of Campus Concerns, Al-Waha (the Oasis),
has as its goal the enrichment of the Bethlehem University community.
This office will also encourage and organize activities which foster
the development of the University Community. To strengthen the sense
of community among students, faculty and administration is also
a goal of campus concerns.
The Director of Campus Concerns will act as a resource
person for groups in the community. The Director will also encourage
and help organize programs among the various segments of the educational
community. These programs will foster the aims of Bethlehem University
and address the interests and needs of faculty and students.
Al-Waha is available to both teachers and students
for discussions and activities.
Conferring of Degrees and Diplomas

in early summer to all students who fulfill requirements for graduation
during the preceding year. Students who complete requirements in

at that time from the Registrar's Office, and participate in the
summer ceremony if they wish.

Transcripts may be requested from the Office of the
Registrar for a fee. Upon fulfilling all requirements for graduation,
students are given one transcript free of charge.
