Welcome to the family of the School of Accounting and Finance.


Each student of our 4-year BBA Programs has been assigned with a School Academic Advisor. Your Advisor will assist, listen to and guide you throughout the four years of your study. The School Academic Advisor will work together with your Academic Counselor from the University's Office of General University Requirements (OGUR) as an integral advising system to enhance your learning experience at PolyU.

Your School Academic Advisor guides you in academic matters related to your study by which you achieve your goals, realize your potentials and become aware of your weaknesses. S/he serves as your mentor in the development of your professional career – student exchange, internship and Work Integrated Education (WIE), extracurricular activities, and job interviews. Furthermore, your School Academic Advisor is your liaison and referral to various School, Faculty and University activities and services. She will assist you to explore solutions when you encounter problems.

You are expected to meet with your School Academic Advisor at least once each academic year. It is your responsibility to email or call your Academic Advisor to make appointments for your regular visits. Your Advisor is a full time teaching staff. S/he has a full teaching and administrative schedule, and you are always expected to make an appointment with your Advisor prior to your planned visit, except in cases of urgency. If you are unable to keep your appointment, you are expected to email or call your Advisor to cancel the appointment. The School will contact you for an explanation if you fail to meet your Advisor in any one semester during your study.

The School and your Advisor will keep a record of each meeting between you and your Advisor. The record and the discussion details in each meeting with your Academic Advisor are kept in strict confidentiality, except under circumstances in which matters arising from the advising session require follow up procedures with Program Leaders, Student Affairs Office, and other pertinent parties in the School and the University.



The Academic Advising System is applied to all BBA students admitted to the new 4-year programmes, i.e. Year 1 students admitted via HKDSE, JEE students from the Chinese mainland and those non-JUPAS applicants whose education is equivalent to the sixth year of secondary school education.

The Academic Advising System “aims to help students make informed and intelligent academic decisions / choices about their study at PolyU that suit their intellectual, professional and personal goals. It is instrumental to promoting student success, and plays a vital role in enhancing students’ overall learning experience at PolyU” (Learning and Teaching Committee Paper LTC/42/A4).
