Dear colleagues and community members, 

As you are aware, the campus, schools and facilities are operating normally and KAUST remains a safe place to live, work, and study.  

A select group of the leadership team continues to meet and monitor the situation, and our security team continues to coordinate with the relevant national authorities. 

I have spoken with colleagues across security and leadership this morning. We have reviewed our arrangements and there are no changes to operations. If anything changes, you will hear it from me directly.  

If you are travelling in the coming days, please check your flight status with your airline before you leave for the airport. Flights continue to operate to and from Jeddah as normal. 

There is no change to the remote work policy. Information and guidance continues to be available at emergency.kaust.edu.sa.

Human Resources is available via email at hrhelpdesk@kaust.edu.sa or by phone at +966 (0) 12 808 2055 or mobile at +966 (0) 544 700 277. 

The Student Helpdesk is available via email at schelpdesk@kaust.edu.sa or by phone at +966 (0) 12 808 3412. 

Thank you for the trust you place in this institution.  

Sir Edward Byrne AC FMedSci
President, KAUST
