The Academic Advisory Committee consists of deans from the colleges, chaired by the Vice-Chancellor.
Responsibilities of Advisors
The Commission's responsibilities include making recommendations that ensure an effective system for training faculty to serve as counselors and generally improving the quality of counseling at RAK University of Medical and Health Sciences. The primary purpose of academic advising is to provide effective guidance so that students can maximize the educational opportunities available at RAKMHSU and make critical decisions regarding education, career, and life goals. Successful academic advising depends on the ability of the advisor and the advisee to recognize the nature of the academic advising process and to be jointly accountable in the advising process.
As such, counseling can be seen as a way of connecting students to the campus and making them feel that someone, who is their benefactor, is caring for them as an educator, teacher, role model, and critic.
