Students with individual problems or concerns are advised to avail themselves of these services. All matters presented on a personal level to the Guidance and Counseling Office are treated in strict confidence.


Most of our students are needy. We strive to identify donors and well-wishers whom we can partner with to offer these students financial support that can enable them pursue and complete their education on time. We also liaise with various government agencies to offer loans and grants to such students who meet the requirements to benefit from such financial aids. The Dean of Students Office encourages such students to apply for work study programme to earn something to supplement their upkeep.


With the establishment of Chaplaincy, the Dean of Students Office encourages students to acquire spiritual knowledge, and respect each other’s denomination
