Highlights of Academic Advising

 

Dummy

Students are required to meet in person with their Academic Adviser at least once a term, with one meeting scheduled before the course registration exercise each year. Otherwise, their access to the registration system will be denied.  Flexibility is allowed when students are not in Hong Kong or under special circumstances and therefore unable to meet with the Academic Advisers in person.  The students may seek advice from their Academic Adviser through other means.  Details of Academic Advising can be found as follows:-

  • Before meeting the Academic Adviser for revision of the study plan, each student should input and save the study plan in Degree Works*. The user guidelines of Degree Works* are available HERE.
  • If any amendment is required, the student should revise the study plan accordingly in Degree Works* and notify his / her Academic Adviser after amendments.
  • If there is no amendment, the Academic Adviser can approve and lock the study plan.

* Important Notes: According to Regulations Governing Undergraduate Studies, a student should take courses specified in the curriculum concerned. As Degree Works may not fully reflect all the programme requirements due to technical limitations, students and Academic Advisers should refer to the curricular requirements set out in the Programme Structures of the intake year concerned (https://www.ln.edu.hk/reg/undergraduate-programmes/programme-of-studies/programme-structure) for the checking of fulfilment of the requirements of Majors/ Minors/Discipline Concentrations.
