Student accountability

Students receiving this bursary are to be accountable to the bursary and be assisted in the monitoring of their academic process.

1. You must provide the bursary with test and examination results at the end of the first mid-term break (March/April), the start of the second semester (July/August) and at year end.
2. You must provide the bursary of any changes in your circumstances, difficulties you may be experiencing, or milestones achieved. 

Referrals to existing institutional support services

Adaptation to university life is a well-known challenge.  Universities provide many support services to assist students.

1. You are encouraged to find out about available services and make use of these services.
2. It is suggested that you attend one or two core student development workshops each semester provided by the student support services at the university.
3. Time management, study skills and examination preparation are recommended for first year students.
4. Senior students are required to attend CV writing and career preparation workshops and provide feedback to bursary.

Social engagement

You are encouraged to participate in the social life of the university through active membership of a club of your interest.  Networking is a vital skill for future employment and success.

Performance monitoring

Performance monitoring will enable you to identify challenges in order that you can address this early.  Students need to identify their problems as early as possible and seek help.  Engagement, monitoring and support are proven ways to improve undergraduate academic success for students.

Reflection

A bi-annual reflective feedback report (approximately two pages – June/July and November/December) on experiences, lessons learnt must be provided by the student.  This will also enhance the student’s holistic development through reflection on performance, wellbeing, and cause and effect.
