The current research aimed at detecting the effect of some methods and practices used in the academic supervision program at the College of Education; on achieving students’ satisfaction and helping them avoid the risk of falling under academic probation. To achieve this goal, two tools were used: the first one was student evaluation questionnaire of the academic supervisor, and the second was student interview form with the academic supervisor. The research tools were both applied, after finishing the spring semester 2018, on 61 mixed gender students who received the academic supervision program at the College of Education of Sultan Qaboos University in the Sultanate of Oman. The results of the qualitative analysis of students' responses to both tools have indicated a high level of students’ satisfaction with the academic supervision practices of the current program. The researcher recommends developing research tools and applying them more extensively and adding other criteria to further ensure that the academic supervision program achieves its full objectives.
