How Advising Operates

Advisors are assigned by the Head of Department on a rotation basis under the Departmental Academic Advising Directive.
The list of assignments and weekly office hours is published on this page at the start of each semester.
An advisor–student meeting is held at the beginning of each semester and its minutes are archived.
The minutes are reviewed at meetings of the Academic Advisors Board, which takes decisions on advising practice where necessary.
