• Electives
Three-pronged approach to academic advising
• “Student Handbook” (web version only)
• Student IT system (CUSIS)
• Academic advisory system (people)
Student Handbook
• Regulatory issues– exemptions, prerequisite, co-
requisite, mutual exclusion, equivalence
• Advisory statements– for major students only, not for major
students– to be taken in final year
• Course outlines
Student IT System
• Academic advisement– review academic progress for graduation– facilitate student’s academic planning
• Three online reports– Advisement Report
• courses taken and requirements fulfilled
– In-progress Report• courses enrolled and requirements to be fulfilled
– What-if Report• courses planning to take and requirements that can be
fulfilled in scenario
Academic Advisory System
• Programme directors
• Academic advisory coordinators– Department, Faculty, College
• Learning Enhancement Officers
