The Office of the Dean of Students is mandated to handle non-academic issues affecting students and the aim is to promote the holistic growth, development and wellbeing of students. The Office is keenly focusing on entrenching ‘CARE’ in its service delivery for students. The reason for this is because students are faced with different needs and challenges while on campus ranging from financial, physical to material needs depending on the background they come from.

In coming up with strategies to address the different needs of these students, the Dean of Students Office has to deliver services with ‘care’ so that the students feel that someone cares and is looking out for them.

To help address some of the challenges that the students face, the office launched the ‘Needy Students Fund’ in July 2020 to help support the different needs that students are facing during this Covid pandemic period. The Office of the Dean of Students however will continue running this fund even after the Covid period to continually have a kitty to support students facing various challenges to help them focus on their studies.
