The ELD & WebCT

Improve your English!

That's the big message coming from the University this year.

For some time now, concern has been expressed about the declining standard of English among KFUPM graduates.

The university is taking action to remedy this state of affairs. Some measures might even cause a delay in your graduation if your English communication skills are not good enough.

Treat your English as a serious matter and do what you can to improve it!
