This Study aims to present a Proposed Vision for the Development of Student Activities in Saudi Universities, in light of the important and influential role of student activity programs in building students' personalities, enriching their knowledge, and sponsoring their talents. This Study followed the Descriptive Documentary Approach, as its Developmental Vision focused on seven axes: student activity objectives, student activity content, student activity plans, student activity supervisors, student activity supply and requirements, evaluation of student activity programs, and students. The Study concluded a number of results, most notably: (1) Student activity objectives must be clear, precisely defined, and related to University general objectives; (2) Student activity content must be balanced including - in similar proportions - all areas of student activity, taking into account individual differences among students; (3) Student activity plans must be realistic and achievable, in addition to the importance of engaging students in preparing the general plan of the student activity; (4) To provide the necessary number of student activity supervisors for each field of student activity, commensurate with the numbers of University students, as well as the general plan of the student activity; (5) To adopt a suitable engineering model for University buildings, including the necessary premises for student activity programs, such as theatres, laboratories, closed gyms, and outdoor playgrounds; (6) To evaluate student activity programs under progress scientifically, based on scientific evaluation tools and methods in the light of specific criteria, standards and models.
