Canadian University Dubai is a smoke-free establishment. In order to promote and maintain a healthy environment at Canadian University Dubai, and to promote the prevention of illness and encourage students, staff and faculty to lead a healthy lifestyle, a smoke-free campus environment policy has been created to reduce the use of tobacco products on campus. The objectives are to reduce the number of smokers on campus and to support those who wish to stop smoking; through raising awareness on the dangers of smoking and educating young adults with an aim to ensure they do not pick up the habit. To create awareness amongst the university community about the dangers of smoking regular no-smoking campaigns are showcased throughout the year, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health.

Tobacco products include – but are not limited to – any lighted cigarette, cigar, pipe, midwakh, dokha, bidi, electronic cigarette or any other smoking device, along with any form of smokeless or spit tobacco such as dip, chew, or snuff.

Each and every member of the University community is responsible for maintaining this policy.

Second time violation: should the student be caught violating the policy a second time, he or she will be given a first official warning letter (Student Affairs Division), which will be placed in his/her file.
Third time violation: a third violation will lead to a final warning letter (Student Affairs Division) or possibly putting the student on registration hold for one semester. The case will be sent to the disciplinary committee.

Disciplinary committee decision will be taken, and student will be informed accordingly. Students have the right to appeal the committee’s decision (in writing) to the President’s Office.

Students will be provided with all the assistance they need and, if necessary, will be referred to outside medical professionals to ensure they get the appropriate help.

Community Involvement

Canadian University Dubai encourages the cultivation of a positive relationship with the surrounding community in Dubai, and one way in which students can give back to the community is by participating in fundraising activities.

Canadian University Dubai’s Cycling Team Participate in Dubai Ride

Dubai Ride is the largest annual bicycle race event in the United Arab Emirates – which took place on Sunday, November 6, 2022. The busiest road in Dubai transforms into a giant cycling track with over 20,000 cyclist enthusiasts. The event caters for all levels of cyclists, from beginner to expert – some participated as an individual, or family unit, and others joined within an educational or organizational team.

“Cycling is such great therapy. There are so many mental and physical benefits.” Dr. Ahmed Al-Gindy provided CUD students with a safety orientation, bike rentals and team meeting points.

A group of Canadian University Dubai (CUD) students, led by Dr. Ahmed Al-Gindy enjoyed Dubai Ride as a team – CUD students cycled between 16-30 kms along Sheikh Zayed Road.

“Dubai Ride was so much fun. The sunrise was amazing. It was a view for everyone.” Noora Khan, CUD Cyclist Student

“The most I had cycled before was about 3 kms. I so enjoyed Dubai Ride – cycling 16 kms from 5:30 am – 7:30 am! It was easy for me because the event was well organized – we could regularly stop for photos or refreshments.” Noora Khan, CUD Cyclist Student

The event is a festive celebration between cycling fanatics – enjoyed by many sport teams, friends, family, and colleagues. CUD’s cycling team began at Dubai’s Coca Cola Dome and joined the other 20,000 cyclists on the track.

“The roads were empty, there was just a mass of cyclists enjoying the spectacular sunrise. The track took us along amazing sight seeing landmarks: Burj Khalifa and Museum of the Future. Dubai Ride was my first cycling race – CUD opened the cycling race opportunity to me. On Sunday I did about 55 kms, including Dubai Ride and my cycle home.” Abdulrhman Ashraf, CUD Cyclist Student

Connect with the Canadian University Dubai Cycling club to enjoy weekly rides throughout the city, and similar events. “Al Meydan is the closest cycling track to CUD. Our CUD Cycling Club often meets at the track to do a practice cycle. A bike can be rented from just AED 55 for two hours. Our fun Cycling Team is growing.” Dr. Ahmed Al-Gindy, CUD Professor

“Sometimes the most spontaneous trip turns out to be the best one.” Manal Muhammad Tahir, CUD Cyclist Student.

Dubai Canadian community unites in fitness drive

‘Try with Canada’ event marks finale of fifth annual wellness challenge

Tuesday, December 14, 2021: Canadian University Dubai (CUD), the Canadian Business Council of Dubai and the Northern Emirates, and the Consulate General of Canada in Dubai, have joined together to mark the conclusion of the fifth annual Dubai 30X30 Fitness Challenge with a community participation event under the banner ‘Try with Canada’.

In collaboration with the Community Events Section of Dubai Sports Council, the Canadian partners invited people of any age and ability to get involved to mark the finale of this year’s initiative by joining in an early morning yoga session, led by a professional instructor from Lululemon, at the Dubai 30X30 Fitness Village, Kite Beach.

The yoga session was a continuation of another ‘Try with Canada’ challenge staged earlier in Dubai’s month-long celebration of fitness and wellbeing. The previous gathering brought together participants of all ages from across the city to take part in a family walk and run at the Sports Village beach. These events gathered over 100 participants to join in the physical fitness challenges.

Among the participants was Mr. Brian Banford, Executive Director of Corporate Relationships at CUD, who remarked: “It’s a wonderful experience, to be doing yoga on a beach with a group of Canadians in November.”

Also in attendance at ‘Try with Canada’ events were Jean-Philippe Linteau, Consul General of Canada in Dubai; Tansel Kilicarslan, Chief Transformation Officer at Al-Futtaim; Ahmad Ibrahim Busherin, Head of Community Events Section, Sports Events Department, Dubai Sports Council; and Alison McLaughlin, RD, MPH, Nutrition and Yoga Professional and Lululemon Ambassador.

Reflecting on the events, H.E. Jean-Philippe Linteau, Consul General of Canada in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, said: “I am pleased to see that the Canadian community and partners in Dubai have come together to contribute to the success of the Dubai 30X30 Fitness Challenge 2021. We share with the Dubai Government, the conviction that fitness is an essential element of wellness, especially in the context of the pandemic. With more than 40,000 Canadians that call the UAE home, I look forward to more collaboration with the Dubai Sports Council.”

CUD Teams Narrowly Miss Out on Top Prize at DMC Sports Day

March 7, 2018, Dubai Men’s College Sports Day: CUD’s men’s football and volleyball teams both made it on the podium at the DMC Sports Day event, but missed the top spot. The teams brought home silver and bronze respectively, and valuable experience for next year. Eight teams took part in both sports. They were organized in a round-robin format, with four teams in each section followed by the semi-final and the final.

Our football team finished in second place as the runner-up behind Hamdan University. Full time ended in a 2-2 draw. Unfortunately, we lost 5-4 in the penalty shoot-out.

Our volleyball team finished in third place, beating Sharjah Men’s College in the third-place play-off.

Ahmed Omar, football team captain said, “Although we played well and should have avoided the draw, we were just unlucky and couldn’t manage to clinch it on penalties.”

Rawad Yamout, captain of the volleyball team, said, “It was a great experience and we learned a lot.”

Summarizing the competition, John Sherratt, CUD Sports Manager, said, “Both teams played extremely well as this was their first appearance in the competition. We just lacked the ability to see the games to the end. We are happy to have had this experience and will use it to do better next year.”

CUD participates in Dubai Fitness Challenge

Over 50 Canadian University Dubai students supported the Dubai Fitness Challenge by taking part in the record-breaking Dubai Run on the city’s iconic Sheikh Zayed Road. The students joined 70,000 participants to run on Dubai’s main highway section, which was open for a public run for the first time.

The main goal was to promote active lifestyle among CUD students by encouraging them to participate in the 5km or 10km run.

Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) is an annual event that challenges everyone in the city to complete 30 minutes of activity a day for 30 days. It not only cultivates fitness-focused mindsets but also inspires Dubai’s residents to work towards a common goal of maintaining healthier, active lifestyles in the long run.

Dubai Fitness Challenge was packed with over 13,000 classes and activities, from community runs to mass yoga gatherings to triathlons in the Hatta hills and on the Palm Jumeirah. No matter the age or ability, there were events catering to everyone in the city. Fitness star Joe Wicks led the region’s largest ever HIIT class at Skydive Dubai, while WWE® Superstar Becky Lynch® led a session at the Al Jalila Children’s Specialty Hospital.

(I’m not sure if needed, but I added the below paragraph)

After the successful completion of the challenge, CUD Alumna, Riham Omar, commented, “This was the first time ever when the city’s biggest highway was open for a public run and that’s what makes this event so special. Going there as a team was an amazing idea, it felt great to see the CUD family running together and motivating each other”.

An Exceptional Showdown at Dubai Sports World! Bump, set, spike!

Success for CUD Sports Teams at Gmu Festival

March 13th, 2017: Teams from Canadian University Dubai (CUD) have scored more successes in the latest inter-university sports festival, hosted recently by Gulf Medical University (GMU).

The CUD men’s basketball team fought through to the finals of their event, ultimately finishing as runners up against the University of Sharjah. The men’s tennis team, meanwhile, emerged as champions in their own event during the six-day festival. The latest successes come on the back of a recent competition win by the men’s football team.

It was the CUD duo of Patrick Saba and Shahmir Gill that beat Manipal University in the semi-finals of the tennis competition to reach the grand finale of the event. Both players went on to win their games against opponents from BITS Pilani to lift the tournament trophy.

The two triumphant teams returned to the University campus to share their success with President, Pr. Karim Chelli, and Sports, Manager, Mr. John Sherratt, before adding the two cups to the ever-growing collection in the CUD trophy cabinet.

The annual GMU Sports Festival is the largest inter-university festival of its kind in the region. The CUD team members were among more than 2000 students from 28 different colleges and universities, competing in 226 events across 10 categories.

CUD-sponsored Team Reaches Final Stages of Nas Sports Tournament

June 27th, 2016: Local futsal side, Fuhood Jumeira, has reached the knockout stages of the annual Nad Al Sheba (NAS) Ramadan Sports Tournament, with the support of team sponsor, Canadian University Dubai (CUD).

Fuhood Jumeira, which includes one of the tournament’s leading goal scorers, Jefferson Luis Correa, won every one of their group stage matches to progress to a quarter final tie with Al Theyaba. Having secured a 6-3 victory in that match, the team will now take on Al Jokar for a place in the finals of the competition.

In sponsoring Fuhood Jumeira, CUD is showing its support for the philosophy behind the NAS Ramadan Tournament, which seeks to test the physical and mental strength of individuals while celebrating the spirit of the Holy Month.

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of DSC, this year’s tournament is held under the theme ‘Limitless Abilities’, reflecting the growing movement in sports and sporting events for special needs athletes.

The entire tournament began on June 7th, with a series of competitions going on throughout the month, which have incorporated seven different disciplines, including cycling, archery, volleyball and wheelchair basketball. If Fuhood Jumeira makes it to the finals in the futsal event, they will feature in the grand finale of the competition on June 28th.

The semi-final match will take place at 11:15pm on Monday June 27th at NAS Sports Complex.

CUD Visits Children at Dubai Hospital with Friends of Cancer Patients

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: In collaboration with Friends of Cancer Patients (FoCP) moral support program, Canadian University Dubai (CUD) visited children with cancer and other diseases to help improve their lives. Taking place at the Dubai Hospital, the activity was intended to spread happiness and positivity among the hospital’s young patients.

A main part of the visit was a live professional balloon twister presented by the UAE entertainment organization ‘Kiducation Parties’, with their imaginative creation of animals, hats, and cartoon characters; bringing smiles and laughter to children’s faces and to the faces of their parents. The uplifting performance was followed by a stack of different presents where children had the choice of choosing one or more toys to keep.

The entire visit was full of smiles and laughter, interacting with every child to ensure they are entertained and happy.

Student Volunteers Join Cancer Awareness Campaign

A team of students from Canadian University Dubai (CUD) recently joined forces with local charity, Friends of Cancer Patients (FoCP), to help launch a new initiative to raise awareness of male cancers.

The ‘Shanab’ (‘moustache’ in Arabic) Campaign is part of FoCP’s early detection program, which aims to promote a culture of open dialogue around male-specific cancers, and to build awareness about its early signs and symptoms.

The team of CUD students took part in a public engagement event at this year’s DP World European Golf Tournament at Jumeirah Golf Estate, meeting members of the public attending the event and encouraging them to find out more about the campaign.

Student volunteer Dino Skikic said, “Our mission on the day was to engage as many people as possible in the crowd, making sure they received and read the leaflets, and encouraging them to routinely examine themselves.

“Thanks to all the materials I read from FoCP, I was able to get really well acquainted with the symptoms and provide more information to the public about early detection.”

Fellow volunteer, Ache Hamid Moussa, stressed the importance of targeting women as well as men in the campaign. She said, “Male cancer was something I knew little about before volunteering to help out with this initiative. I learnt a great deal myself and so I made sure that I spoke to a lot of women during the event as well as men.”

The collaboration with FoCP was facilitated by CUD’s Student Services team, which organizes a range of employment, internship and volunteering opportunities for students across the University.

Speaking about the opportunity, Dino continued, “The experience I gained goes much deeper than just work experience, it has helped me to understand a disease that could potentially influence my life, and now I know what to look for. I also saw that people really took notice, wanted to know more and took away our message.”

Ache concluded, “I feel that as responsible citizens it’s important that we give something back. I enjoy meeting new people and this experience allowed me to do this, while learning a lot in the process.”

Students Visit Al Quoz Labour Camp As Part of “good Deed Project”

Thirty-four Canadian University Dubai students recently made multiple visits to a labour camp in Al Quoz as part of their “Good Deed Project” for their ‘Ethical Reasoning for Today’s World’ course. The students visited the camp several times to distribute boxes of clothes, toiletries and food supplies to the men who live at the camp. They were assisted in their efforts by an organization called ‘Royati’.

“We started handing out boxes, but before we knew, the line of people waiting to receive them grew more than we had accounted for,” said student Fatma Ali of their first visit to the camp. “At that point we decided to open the boxes and give out smaller amounts to each laborer, trying our best to ensure that each one of them went home with something. Unfortunately, the line grew longer with time and we were not able to cater for everyone. It was difficult for all of us to turn the rest of them down and announce that we had run out of goods.”

Following their first visit the students reflected on the lessons learned and changed how they handed out the goods on their subsequent visits. Some of the other students also reflected on the experience.

“What I loved the most was the way they all came around us, smiling and calling the others to come,” said student Olamiji Fisayomi Deborah. “It was great to see how welcoming and appreciative they were, it melted my heart. Deep within me I felt so proud and kind of accomplished, as it feels good to make people happy. I will definitely take other friends there to do this again.

Dr. Louise Lambert, Professor at Canadian University Dubai, said the volunteer component to the class brought many of the theories and philosophies of what it means to be a good person alive for the students. At first, they were not enthusiastic to give up some of their personal time, but after the first visit, they were the ones who insisted on collecting more donations and going back a second and third time. “Youth want to do good, but they can’t always find the avenues to do so; once they find a path, they rise to their better selves and know exactly what to do.” This initiative parallels the Year of Giving being promoted by H.H Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and will be repeated again this Ramadan where students will hand out Iftar packages as part of their Good Deed component in the community.

“Our main aim was to provide enough supplies in order to fulfill the daily needs of a human being and to bring a smile on the workers face by showing them there is still someone who cares,” said Lubna Moosa Sodagar. “The whole experience of collection and distribution made me realize that every single thing that we have is such a blessing from God. It also made me more thankful for everything that we have in life.”

Said Lilas Ammouni, “I had a mixture of emotions. I was really excited to go, and it felt really good when we started giving stuff out to the workers and seeing their happy faces, but soon my emotions started to shift, since we had hundreds of working men lining up and just a few boxes left. Regardless of everything, it was a great experience that I would gladly and proudly do again because although there are so many good deeds to do out there, some just feel better than the others, feel free to nominate me to help in anything like that for the coming semesters !”

Charity Bazaar

CUD is taking part in a Charity Bazaar and we need donations of items that can be sold at the Bazaar taking place on November 8th. Items should be lightly used and all proceeds will be going to a charity. Please drop any items off to Mary-Alison in B1-14 previous to November 3rd, 2010.
