E. Student Academic Counseling and Support
Arrangements for availability of faculty and teaching staff for individual student
consultations and academic advice :
Academic advising and counseling of students is an important component of teaching; student
5
academic advising is a mandatory requirement of College of Computers and Information
Technology (CCIT). Appropriate student advising provides support needed for the student
during times of difficulty. In addition, it helps the student to build a close relationship with
his/her advisor and to provide student motivation and involvement with the institution.
In addition, since faculty are usually the first to recognize that a student is having difficulty,
faculty members play a key role in developing solutions for the students or referring them to
appropriate services. Faculty members also participate in the formal student-mentoring program.
Additional counseling is provided by course directors, who provide students with academic
reinforcement and assistance and refer “at risk” students to the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs
and the Vice Dean for female section.
