Academic Advising

Academic Advising
Academic advising at PolyU aims to help students to 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.
Academic Advising System
- All BRE students admitted to the new 4-year curriculum will be assigned a Departmental Academic Advisor.
- Academic Advisors and their student advisees are expected to keep in contact regularly (e.g., via emails or other means), and to have at least one face-to-face meeting with them, either individually or in small groups, during the academic year.
- The student advisees will prepare a brief report after meeting with the Academic Advisor each time. (Attachments: Meeting Report (Group), Meeting Report (Individual))
- The student advisees should complete the Consent Form (Attachment: Consent Form) during the first meeting with the Academic Advisor.
- The original brief report will be kept by the Academic Advisor for record and a copy of the report will be uploaded to student record system for access of students and relevant parties.
