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 programmesPolyU’s Major / Minor offering model and its associated regulationsList of Minor programmes available and the enrolment procedures
- Clarification of Major / Minor GPA values
