Policies and Procedures
The AAU “Policies and Procedures”, through which the University functions as an institution, are composed based on the requirements of the “Standards for Licensure and Accreditation 2011” - Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) - UAE Ministry of Education (MoE) and grouped according to the CAA 11 Standards.
The “Policies and Procedures”, does not represent a contract between AAU and any employee, student, or other person. However, these policies, along with the University Catalog and all Handbooks, constitute a good-faith effort to outline normal policies including rules, regulations, and procedures currently in force at the AAU.
