The Student Success Centre was established in the year 2007, with a two-member team. Later in the year, an Educational Counselor joined in to handle cases which required professional help. At present the center has four full-time members who pool in their knowledge, skills and experience to bolster students towards success.
Over the past two years the Student Success Centre evolved into a proactive entity providing preventive measures and practicing innovative problem solving approaches. Benchmarking Student Success Centre services against those of Universities such as the Curtin University of Technology, Perth and the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia provided the stimulus for new initiatives and the refinement of its overall mission and objectives.
Objectives of the unit are:
- Design, develop and implement innovative student friendly programmes aimed at improving the academic performance of students who are lagging behind.
- Prepare and provide supportive learning material to such students and to conduct special coaching sessions.
- Facilitate, organize and provide tutorial support to students with learning difficulties and disabilities with the active participation of all members of the faculty.
- Monitor student progress.
- Intensify and strengthen Academic Advising in partnership with the Academic Advising committee.
- Facilitate better understanding of college academic and other regulations, rules and procedures and to ensure student compliance with the same.
- Redress student grievances as appropriate.
- Provide career counselling and support placement initiatives.
- Help students joining the college to settle down easily by organising a comprehensive orientation programme.
- Conduct relevant surveys, analyze the data and act on the findings.
