Academic and student advising are essential components of a university student’s success. Academic advising helps students understand their study plans, select appropriate courses, avoid academic difficulties and delays in graduation, and guides them toward achieving their academic and professional goals. Student advising, on the other hand, focuses on providing psychological and social support, addressing any issues that may affect performance, and helping students adapt to the university environment while developing their personal skills. Together, both types of advising contribute to creating a supportive educational environment that enhances achievement, stability, and excellence.
The Academic Advising Unit at the College is responsible for providing approved academic advising tools sourced from the University and distributing them to academic advisors and students. This ensures the organization of the advising process and facilitates access to information that supports students throughout their academic journey.
The academic pathway is experiencing rapid development and increasing diversity in its requirements, which calls for the adoption of unified academic advising models that ensure fairness and consistency in delivering advising services. Accordingly, the College’s Academic Advising Unit works to provide approved advising tools issued by the University and make them available to academic advisors and students. This enhances the efficiency of the advising process, supports the quality of academic guidance, and contributes to improving beneficiaries’ experience while enabling them to achieve their academic goals with clarity and effectiveness.
The Academic Advising Platform is an effective digital tool that enhances continuous communication between students and academic advisors and facilitates access to advising services and information related to study plans and academic regulations. The platform also helps organize advising processes, document meetings, and systematically monitor students’ academic progress. In addition, it provides support and guidance with flexibility and efficiency, aligning with digital transformation requirements and enhancing the quality of the educational experience within the university environment.
