The Academic Advising Programme
The convenor of the Academic Advising Programme (AAP) is Dr. Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw. Several full-time and
part-time members of staff are involved in this dynamic programme. The programme is relatively new, having started in
1997, and it is of great interest and benefit to students and lecturers alike.
The aim of the AAP is to create an environment outside of the classroom where student and lecturer can work together
to effectively manage the student's degree programme. In such an environment, the student would receive the necessary
support needed to achieve goals, identify problems and recover quickly from those problems. Contact outside the
classroom would help instil confidence in the student, track the student's performance and help produce a student not
only with academic skills, but also with the analytical skills to work through and manage personal and career
challenges.
In order to make the most of the programme, students should therefore see their Advisors within the first four weeks
of the semester, and again in the 10th and 11th weeks (before the beginning of the Examination period).
In general, timing is essential to the Advising process. As students enter the University - within the first week of
the first semester - they need to be informed of the Academic Advising Programme by their respective Section. Throughout
the rest of the semester, a structured timetable should be followed in order to gain maximum benefit. Sessions can be
arranged for both one-on-one or group meetings with Advisors, depending on the students' needs and interests.
