Student Support
Since student well-being and success are central aims of the University, it is important to have effective and structured systems in place to ensure its realisation.
The success of students is “not a random occurrence… it is the result of an intentional, structured course of action that is systematic and coordinated in nature, involving many people across campus” (Tinto, 2014).
The Faculty Teaching and Learning Unit Student Support division provides multiple forms of support to students: the routine support that students require in order to succeed; and the new forms of support that arise in response to changing teaching and learning contexts and disruptions.
