3. 2 PROBLEMS
You might encounter some problems of both academic and
non academic nature during the course of your study in the college.
We can assure you that you will receive all the support and help
that you need.
I. Problems related to academic matters/studies
1. If you face a problem in learning of a particular subject, you are
advised to consult your subject lecturer first.
2. If the problem cannot be resolved, you should seek the help of your
academic advisor before going to Head of Section (HoS), and
finally to Head of the Department (HoD).
II. Other problems
You must seek the help of your academic advisor first, and then of the
HoD, if necessary.
If HoD cannot solve your problem, he/she will personally take it up with the
Assistant Deans or Dean of the College.
You must clearly understand that you should try as much as possible NOT to approach anyone
outside the department directly on any matter whatsoever unless strongly advised by the HoD.
