Higher Education SmartZone © Administration’s perspective.. The Administration department will start implementing the SmartZone setup for the university configurations. The steps will be as: Building the university hierarchy. Distributing the credit hours for each program over different requirements Building the university constants. Identification, description, and classification of the studying courses in the system. Building the study plan for the each academic program.
