Academic counseling

Academic counseling is provided through a college-based representative from the Deanery of Student Activities and Welfare. For example, they orient new admission cohorts to the study system and provide guidance and direction to academically struggling students to improve their academic status. Additionally, each student is assigned to a faculty member to guide them on educational matters. The e-advisor system also helps students and academic advisors monitor and track students’ academic status online.
