Student Life

The Students’ Affairs Committee headed by the Dean of Student’s Affairs deals with all matters relating to student’s life while at the University. The students may organize an association of their own to look after their welfare and organize events and activities. This student body may make recommendations to the Students’ Affairs Committee.

Academic Life and Counseling

UITS underscores the importance of character building and good education. An integral component of education in the UITS is excellent advisory services to promote the development of good character and quality education among students. The University is aware that although this is a time of ‘liberal democratic’ values there is a lack of principle and responsible behavior both in public and private life. The University’s response to this is to create shared values among students where they can make their own ethical choices. The University will prepare students to develop democratic values, respect for human rights, tolerance and quest for lifelong learning and good citizenship.

To progress through a degree program each student will have academic and moral advisement tailored to meet the educational and ethical needs of students. This advisement process is initiated with a student’s first selection of courses at the UITS. The faculty and staff affirm their responsibility to assist students in interpreting the benefits and value of higher education, course evaluation and plan for successful completion of higher education while enrolled at the UITS. The University will encourage students to make academic and personal decisions with responsibility and dignity.

Faculty Role in Advisement

There is academic counseling throughout the entire period of student life at UITS. The students choose their major field of studies right at admission. At this point an academic adviser is assigned to all students. Students assigned under the same adviser form quasi tutorial group that grows to share common concern on most things at this period of life. The adviser counsels, supervises and monitors student performance in both curricular and extra curricular activities.

Student’s Role in Advisement

All students are expected to be responsible in their academic and cultural progress as long as they remain students of the University. For this, each student will:

i Know and abide by the rules and regulations of the University and specific dates and times and schedule of classes;

ii Know the standard of workload required by the University;

iii Participate in curricula and extra-curricular activities to develop critical appreciation of their intellectual, aesthetic, and moral heritage and maintain physical well being;

iv Establish timely contact with the concerned advisor and continue counseling throughout one’s stay at the University;

v Recognize that the responsibility of meeting all the requirements of the program belong to the student. He/she must consult the appropriate rules and procedures for meeting his/her learning objectives;

vi Inform the Office of the Registrar of any change of address;

vii Notify the appropriate departmental head/Director of the School concerned for any change of intended major or any problem experienced on advisement and counseling;

viii Meet the concerned advisor after being placed on academic probation

Career Guidance

Students will be encouraged to use the UITS Career Advisory Service which gives professional advise to help students focus on the future career options and employment opportunities. The earlier a student makes use of this service, the sooner his/her career aims will be achieved. A student is welcome to discuss any ideas with a professional advisor to help focus on the future.

Each year, leaders of industry, commerce, social sciences and environmental development are invited to a job-forum organized by UITS to recruit final years students. Statistics will be kept to monitor the progress of alumni in their careers.
