Guide to First Year Students

At BracU every freshman student is provided with a faculty advisor. The advisor teams up with a mentor who is a senior student of the university to inform and support new students, monitor academic performance and guide academic planning during the first year. The Academic Advisers thus seek to complement the existing structure of departmental advising and registration by providing guidance in general areas of academic and campus life at BracU.
