The Academic Advising Program is designed to guide you through your university journey, from your initial application to finding your unique path to academic success. The Student Academic Development and Support Unit appoints dedicated Peer Advisors across all four faculties on both our Bloemfontein and Welkom campuses to help you achieve this goal.
