About the College

          On 11/10/1402 (1982), his Excellency the University director issued a circular No. 2/8517 that a Community Service Center be established to correlate King Saud University with Saudi social strata: official departments, private sectors and individuals alike. This correlation is to be maintained through varied planned programs and other training courses designed to meet the Saudi social needs.

        In 1402/1403, a female department was founded to supervise, plan, and execute training courses that would improve the Saudi woman educational status.

        Due to the remarkable success achieved during the initial years in both the male and female sections, King Saud University Director issued on 27/11/1404 a circular No. 2/13435 to the effect that the official name of the center should change to Community Service and Continuous Learning Deanship. Consequently and on 29/4/1405, the Higher University Council approved this change. Since then the deanship of the center has been achieving continuous successes in the form of rapid qualitative strides resulted in a second change of the Centers title to become The College of Applied Sciences and Community Services. The new title was approved by the Custodian of the Two Holly Mosques who is also the Head of the Higher Education Council and the circular No. 8/225 dated 17/3/1421 was issued and consequently approved by the University Higher Education Council circular No /19/ dated 18/1421.
