Incorporation
Incorporation concerns the legal aspects of operation of AUM as a university. AUM is incorporated in both the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and in the United States of America.
AUM was incorporated in Jordan by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research on 27 December 2005. This approval gave AUM the authority to operate as a private, non-profit university in Jordan.
AUM received New Hampshire Higher Education Commission (HEC) approval for incorporation in the state of New Hampshire, United States. By filing HEC approved Articles of Agreement with the New Hampshire Secretary, AUM became incorporated in the state of New Hampshire. Following incorporation, AUM sought and received institutional degree granting authority from the New Hampshire Legislature and Governor, subject to New Hampshire Higher Education Commission approval of individual degree programs, which AUM has received.The following is the legislative act that gave AUM institutional degree granting authority:
Accreditation
Accreditation is not a legal permission but, rather, deals with the qualitative nature of the educational system. AUM is a private, not-for-profit University, and has been accredited in Jordan since 2011 by the Higher Education Accreditation Commission (HEAC), which operates independently of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, thus providing an independent evaluation of the university. AUM also intends to seek accreditation in the United States.
The Higher Education Council has decided in its twenty forth meeting held on Thursday, December 15th 2016, the appointment of Dr. Victor Billeh, as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the American University of Madaba, and the reformation of the Board for four years, appointing the following members:

The Deans Council may, upon the recommendation of the Faculty Council, approve the distribution of grades in another method for special courses.
The percentages of the theoretical and practical parts are determined out of 100%, taking into consideration the number of credit hours allotted to the theoretical part and that

Number of credit hours allotted to the theoretical part
Grade X ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The grade for the practical part shall be calculated in the way agreed upon by the department.
The department council concerned shall clearly describe the method of grade distribution in these courses, provided that they get the approval of the faculty council.

The Library
The permanent and full-sized AUM Library will be constructed in Phase II of campus construction in accordance with the University Master Plan. However, we planned interim arrangements in Phase I to have sufficient space for library holdings, including books, reference materials, and journals in addition to several reading rooms distributed in the academic buildings that are operational in Phase I. According to this interim arrangement for library space, we designed and constructed two large rooms to hold all library materials: one for science-related subjects, and the other for the humanities. Currently, the building of the Faculty of Business and Finance houses the two sets of materials. Each of these rooms has an area of 100 square meters (1230 square feet) and is fully furnished with shelves and stacks.
The library provides a collection of print and electronic resources. The book collection contains over 40,000 prints and a number of databases for e-journals and e-books. The library also accommodates both wired and wireless computer access.
The library organizes knowledge resources through technical methods of cataloging, classification, and indexing by using the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rule 2, the Dewey Decimal Classification, and the International Standard Bibliographic Description. Computers are used in all of the library’s services and activities, in addition to using a full integrated library system called Koha to support those services.
The interim arrangement also provides 8 reading rooms, 100 square meters each, fully furnished with reading tables, computers, and chairs for library users.
The permanent AUM Library is currently being designed and construction of the library is expected to be completed by end of 2016.
Standard library services provided to students include, but are not limited to, the following:
