E-Participation Policy

1. Introduction

Qassim University has given e-participation its highest priority, as it allows the beneficiary to express freedom of expression, put forward proposals, and share opinions on topics that fall under the university's missions, as well as ensure the privacy of the beneficiary's information.

The university works to follow up and review all posts before publishing them, in compliance with the relevant official laws, in addition to raising the university's level of dialog, taking into account the complete freedom of participation and giving everyone the opportunity to communicate their voices to officials.

The University has the full right to publish or delete what it deems contrary to its policy, or the laws applicable in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in interaction and participation with the official websites, without any obligation to do so, and the University - or through its employees or representatives - is not legally responsible for the consequences of posting comments or remarks through its electronic means.
