Academic Mentors assist first-year students in academic planning, course selection, and offer relevant academic guidance. Their primary goal is to facilitate a smooth transition for freshmen to university learning and to equip them with effective study methods. Academic Mentors also continue to offer academic support to students in their second year if needed.
