Student Advising

麻豆区 has the foundation of a strong advising program that follows a hybrid model. Some services are offered centrally, such as mental health, while other services are offered at the Faculty level to provide targeted support that fits students鈥� unique needs. To ensure students鈥� successful integration into campus life, an effective and well-staffed student advising program is vital. The Faculty聽therefore established the Office of Advising and Student Information Services (OASIS). At OASIS, students meet regularly with professional advisors who help them create academic and career plans聽and guide their development from entry to job placement. Faculty of Arts advisors provide crucial information about program requirements, guide students through periods of personal, financial, or medical need, and prepare students for the job market.
