Advising
Students on Choice of Minor Programmes –
Resource Pack for
Academic Counsellors
A survey commissioned
by the Learning and Teaching Committee in the
2006/07 academic year with the aim of reviewing
the provision of Major / Minor Studies to PolyU
eligible students has identified a need for
supporting Academic Counsellors or other colleagues
concerned in giving advice to students. In
response to this need, a resource
pack has
been developed and distributed in an EDC seminar
mounted in the
2007/08 academic year for Academic Counsellors.
The resource
pack contains the following information to
assist Academic Counsellors with their work:
- Factors that would most likely
to influence students’ decision to take
/ not to take Minor programmes
- PolyU’s Major / Minor
offering model and its associated regulations
- List of Minor programmes
available and the enrolment procedures
- Clarification of Major /
Minor GPA values
