Abstract: The focus of this study is to (1) determine the level of mobile technologies’ utilization and competency and (2) report separately the level of basic operation, communication and collaboration, information Seeking, digital citizenship and creativity and innovation skills in mobile technologies among first year undergraduate students in College of Computer Science and Information Technology at Hadhramout University. The sample size consists of 148 freshmen students. Using the descriptive statistical analysis, the results of this study reveal that undergraduates in College of Computer Science and Information Technology have highly utilized mobile technologies. It was also figured out that they were extremely capable to use these devices. Moreover, it was revealed that undergraduates’ competency and utilization levels were so high in communication purpose due to certain social and educational reasons. Due to the results of the study, wider and greater implication of this method in College of Computer Science and Information Technology and other colleges at Hadhramout University is recommended along with the activation of the university apps.
