Student Support Services provides a supportive environment for academic success, career planning and student wellbeing. We accomplish this by providing students with academic tutoring, counselling services, on-campus employment, and mentoring. All services are provided at no cost to eligible students.
Student Support Services offers workshops that deal with a wide range of topics such as: Study Skills and Study Strategies, Etiquette, Stress and Time Management, Career preparation, CV reviewing labs, and health as well as wellbeing related workshops.
Career Services
Students are encouraged to explore career choices and benefit from career guidance. Workshops are held to assist in career preparation. The career and internship fair is organised once a year, usually in November, allowing students and graduates to explore internship and job opportunities.
For assistance, contact us at careerservices@gutech.edu.om
Peer-to-Peer Tutoring
Free tutoring is available for eligible participants upon request for selected courses. Tutors are carefully selected based on academic performance and the recommendation of the subject lecturer.
Students are encouraged to make full use of tutoring services for regularly scheduled tutoring and studying for exams.

Studying with a disability is challenging but possible. We provide different forms of special arrangement or extra support for students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism or mental/chronic illness that can make studying more difficult.
A variety of arrangements can be made for students with special requirements. These include:
- Extra time for written exams
- Changes to the assessment format
- Dedicated exam room
- Assistance with typing exam answers
If you require special arrangements, please contact counsellors@gutech.edu.om to learn about the medical and mental health evidence we require for special considerations.

Financial aid decisions are subject to availability of resources and student academic status. Financial aid is not offered to new applicants.
