7.0 Student Advisory System

7.1 IntroductionAll foundation and undergraduate students will be assigned to Academic Advisors.

The objective of the Student Advisory System (SAS) is to create a pathway to a systemizedcommunication for students to receive guidance and advice in understanding the different concepts

and systems used by the University. The system generates a systematic channel for students to seekadvice on academic and non-academic matters.

Upon enrolment, each student will be allocated to with an academic advisor who will serve as thestudent's advisor for the entire duration of the student's study at the University.

7.2 Roles of an Academic Advisori. To be a friend, motivator, reference person, coach and progress monitoring.ii. To plan and schedule meetings with students (minimum of two meetings; one at the

beginning and one at the end of semester).iii. To keep, maintain and update a meeting record to monitor student s progress. iv. Guide students in their study plan, selection of courses, where necessary; ensuring pre-

requisites are met before signing up for a course and appropriate credit hours are registered.

v. To offer advice on non-academic matters; offering appropriate assistance or referring them tocounselors for special cases.

vi. Assist students on university matters; giving correct information and advice on organization,administration and rules and regulation of the University.

7.3 Roles of a StudentThe SAS may not achieve its desired outcomes if students are reluctant to see their appointedadvisors.

Students need to discuss academic or non-academic matters which require the recommendations oftheir academic advisors. Therefore students must:

i. Meet the academic advisors regularly; minimum two times per semester.ii. Seek advice and opinion from advisors regarding academic and non-academic matters during

the meetings.iii. Feel free to discuss and seek advice on academic, non academic or even personal mattersiv. For international students (in addition) may also liaise with the International Students Office

on matters pertaining to international student welfare, activities and services.

The focus of this programme is to help students who are placed under the status ofAcademic Probation , Academic Probation and Warning and Academic Dismissal (reinstatedafter appeal) in a particular semester, to improve their academic performance through regular

meeting/discussion with their appointed Mentor.Under this programme, a Mentee will be placed under the supervision of a Mentor, who will monitorthe academic progress and provide motivation for Mentee to excel in their studies.

8.2 Purpose and ObjectivesThe purpose of MMP is to assist students who are placed under Academic Probation (GPA or CGPAless than 2.0/4.0) during a particular semester.

The objectives of this programme are:i. To assistMentee (students) in improving their academic performance.ii. To monitor the progress of a M entees academic performance. iii. To ensure that the Mentee achieves the desired academic performance at the end of the

semester.

8.3 Roles of a Mentori. To establish a caring, genuine and open relationship that encourages learning.ii. To monitor Mentees progress towards academic performance. iii. To find/suggest solutions to overcome the Mentees problem in learning, i.e. - time

management, smart learning, registration of courses and etc (to assist students in obtainingthe desired semester results).

8.4 Roles of a Mentee i. To be responsible for their academic performance and to cooperate with their Mentor to

improve their academic performance.ii. To attend talks or workshops organised for them by the University.iii. To meet the Mentor fortnightly according to the pre-arranged schedule.iv. To seek advice and opinion of the Mentor regarding their academic matters.
