The electronics workshop is concerned with the maintenance of all electronic devices. A form for service request need should be filled to perform the maintenance for any device.

In general, funding for research is achieved in the Mathematics Department through one of the resources presented in the following Table

Table : Sources for research funding and approximate funding

Sources	Department	Funding in Riyals	No. of projects Funded	Date
Majmaah University	Mathematics	125000	5	1431-1434H
	Physics	50000	2	1431-1434H
	Computer Science	25000	1	1431-1434H

In spite of all the above, research infrastructure needs more improvement in the College especially in terms of supporting staff. Jobs for researchers, research assistants, and lab technologists have been secured.
