STUDENT ACADEMIC SUPPORT PROGRAMME

The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Programme Development (CTLPD) provides from Admission to Graduation Student Academic Support (AGSAS) programme.

The AGSAS programme ensures that students have adequate information to make informed career choices from admissions, during registrations and while on-course to graduations.

To achieve the foregoing, the Centre runs the following programmes:

Furthermore, provide students with appropriate continuous academic support towards student success. 

Academic and Digital Literacy

Through academic literacy, the CTLPD supports students to be able to discuss and analyse formal academic texts and use subject-specific jargon/discipline specific discourse of knowledge to be able to productively contribute to ongoing conversations within specific academic fields.

Tutorship Support Programme

The tutorship support programme offered by the CTLPD aims to provide on-course student academic support. 

In so doing, the CTLPD creates one-to-one or small groups interactions facilitated by a tutor who acts as the more knowledgeable other (MKO) with expertise in a specific content area or discipline. 

Tutors assist students individually or in small groups and provide a variety of services from study skills, note-taking strategies and often help students review material from class.
