This paper presents a research study that investigated and analyzed the status of social media policies at Saudi Arabian higher education institutions (HEIs). This study is the first attempt to review social media policies in 68 Saudi universities and colleges. Social media policies published on the institutions websites were collected. This study focuses on the readability, accessibility, and content coverage of these policies. In addition, the study identified potential gaps concerning learning and teaching with social media policies, as well as how well these policies meet student and faculty needs. A summary of the current status of social media policies at Saudi HEIs and recommendations for improving the current status were presented as the result of this study.
