Overview

Academic Advising is an ongoing, intentional, and collaborative T&L practice that empowers, guides, develops and supports students to achieve their academic goals through the use of a full range of student academic development and support (SADS) and other institutional resources.

Students seeking to develop their learning strategies, revision techniques, time management skills, memory rehearsal strategies, note-taking/making techniques, reading techniques and critical thinking and problem-solving skills, may make an appointment with an academic adviser of their own accord, or be referred by campus role players. Academic advisers also assist students with test and exam planning and preparation.
