Objective and Purpose

• The Objective of the Student Academic Success (SAS) is to create a pathway to a systemized communication for students to receive guidance and advice in understanding the different concepts and systems used by the University. This provides a systematic channel for students to seek advice on academic and non-academic matters.
• Upon enrolment, each student will be assigned to an academic advisor who will serve as the student's advisor for the entire duration of the student's study at the University.
