Undergraduate Student Advisory System
The Undergraduate Student Advisory System is guided by the following principles:
- Adoption of clear, guiding principles for Advising
- Advising systems to be built around programmes of study and for students to be advised by staff from their intended areas of study
- Decrease the adviser:advisee ratio to 1:25
- Acknowledge the role of Adviser of Studies as an integral part of a member of staff’s workload, not as an additional role
- Enhanced role for training and support for Advisers of Studies
The Colleges have adopted these and implemented systems as appropriate to their structures.
For the attention of: All staff with advising responsibilities, Heads of School, Deans (Learning & Teaching), Heads of College
