Academic Advising
Conveying the purposes of PolyU - includes advice and consultation with regards to the aims of higher education, the reasons for the academic requirements, expected standards of achievement, etc.
Information giving - includes advice and consultation about registration, course offerings, areas of staff interest and expertise, educational opportunities, degree programmes and requirements, educational policies and regulations, as well as administrative procedures.
Short-range programme planning - includes advice and consultation on scheduling sequences and course planning, registration and schedule adjustments, etc.
Long-range planning - includes advice and consultation about educational and professional objectives consistent with the student’s demonstrated academic abilities and interests, as well as identification of the relationship between courses, programmes, majors, and occupations.
Student referral - since advisors cannot possibly meet the needs of all students, specialized campus services at the Student Affairs Office and Office of Undergraduate Studies are available for advice and consultation that are complementary to the knowledge and skills of the advisors.
Facilitating student development - includes interest in the student’s goals and problems, establishment of rapport, development of the student’s self-awareness, etc.
It is believed that the current academic advising system provides students with the opportunity to plan, discuss, and review academic progress, as well as enhances student satisfaction with their academic experience, better self-understanding and a sense of success in the achievement of personal and academic goals. To achieve these aspects, the terms of the academic advising system is outlined below.
a. The First Year - Each student will have an Academic Advisor throughout his/her entire study at SFT to strengthen his/her connection to the School and the University. Students are required to meet with his/her Academic Advisor once every semester to discuss different academic issues. Academic Advisors can use one or more of a variety of delivery options, e.g. face-to-face, small groups, email, telephone, Blackboard, social media, etc. so as to maintain a suitable connection with students.
