Risks are defined as something or somebody impacting adversely upon organizational objectives. Plans must be available to anticipate and manage such an occurrence. Risk management will, therefore, include identification, analysis, prioritizing and remedying such problems. The risk management also identifies opportunities that may exist. The risk management of Al-Ain University of Science & Technology, Al-Ain, UAE, is provided with collaboration between the colleges and university administration. We have developed a risk management model for Al-Ain University in conjunction with the development of new programs and in co-ordination with the Deans’ Council and other administrative units through Deans and/or colleges’ committees in line with the standards set by UAE Commission of Academic Accreditation. It is expected to have risks such as failure of Information Technology, loss of key personnel, budget deficit, shortage of faculty members, co-ordination risk and local and International Accreditation risk. We will restrict our study to these risks only, leaving thereby the scope of further studies. The paper also include some recommendations for the implementation of the plan. Al-Jundi, S., & Ahmed, R.
