Mentoring
The Academic Mentoring Scheme has been implemented across all NTU Colleges and Schools with all students admitted to CCDS being assigned an academic mentor. Specifically, the objectives of the Academic Mentoring Scheme are:
- To establish rapport and promote interaction between students and academic staff
- To provide a channel of feedback from students especially on academic matters
- To keep students informed about University matters and other pertinent developments and
- To help students with subject choices, registration of subjects and career guidance
The Academic Mentoring Scheme is coordinated by the Associate Dean (Student Affairs and Alumni Engagement) Assoc Prof Chan Syin and assisted by the CCDS Student Affairs team.
The Scheme complements the services provided by hall counsellors and the professional counsellors at NTU's University Wellbeing Office (UWO). The University Wellbeing Office (UWO) provides confidential and professional mental health services to all NTU students. More details can be found here.
NOTES TO NEW STUDENTS
Every new student will be assigned an academic staff as your academic mentor throughout your course of study. You will be informed of your mentor via your official NTU email account at the beginning of the semester. You can also login to Student Intranet to view your mentor’s information. Your mentor is here to give you advice on academic related matters.
You should provide your contact and next-of-kin contact information to your mentor at the first meeting for subsequent communication and should the need arises in emergencies. Please check and maintain your email account regularly as many important announcements are made through your NTU email account.
