The descriptive analytical approach was used and secondary data was obtained through a survey list consisting of (81) items that were distributed to the research community using stratified random sample according to the university. (250) survey lists were distributed and (216) were recovered with a recovery rate of (86.4%). The study found a set of results, the most important of which are: The existence of a positive statistically significant relationship between decision support systems and information technology used in the application of re-engineering of academic and administrative systems in Palestinian higher education institutions. The results showed that there are statistically significant differences between the average answers of the respondents attributed to "university, gender, job title". The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the respondents ’average answers due to (age group, academic degree, and number of years of service).
