Recruitment of Student Academic Advisers 2025-26 
Application deadline: March 19, 2025
Since 2018-19, the Faculty has been appointing Student Academic Advisers as an academic advising source for Arts UG students to consult.
How is chatting with Student Academic Advisers different from chatting with ordinary students?
Current Year 1 - 3 students who are willing to help others deal with study problems can apply for being Student Academic Advisers in 2025-26. The Faculty will consider their academic and interview performance, and will arrange a training session in collaboration with the Academic Advising and Scholarships Office (AASO) and CEDARS-COPE for successful candidates. Only those who completed the training will be recognized as Student Academic Advisers. Hence, advice from Student Academic Advisers can be more precise.
What "study problems" can Student Academic Advisers advise on?
Possible areas for advising include: how to adapt to university life, course selection, major/minor options, exchanges and experiential learning opportunities, time management, etc.
Depending on the enquiries, Student Academic Advisers can advise students to consult other available sources, e.g. Faculty Academic Advisers, UG Coordinators, the course-offering teaching units, the Faculty Office, Residential Student Advisers, CEDARS, AASO. Student Academic Advisers can also refer some complicated cases to the Faculty Office for follow-up.
How can students consult Student Academic Advisers?
The Faculty will introduce Student Academic Advisers to new students during the Faculty orientation activities in August 2025. During the add/drop periods, we will arrange activities for Student Academic Advisers to chat with students about course selection and other study-related matters. In addition, we will post the list of Student Academic Advisers, including a brief profile, on the Faculty website, so students can contact Student Academic Advisers via email throughout an academic year.
