Student Support

Academic planning

Academic planning is valuable in that it will not only increase the student’s understanding of the journey he/she is about to embark on, but also help him/her to set realistic goals in terms of his/her studies.  Academic planning is done on an individual basis – it is a joint effort between the ICP and each potential student.  Some of the issues in academic planning include:

• Choosing an appropriate course
• Exposition of the courses
• Subject choices (if applicable)
• Impact on family life
• Time factor
• Commitment
• Career possibilities

Prospective students interested in academic planning are advised to contact Mrs. Retha Beselaar at the ICP.

Tutoring service

The ICP offers a personal tutoring service to students who experience difficulty with the academic material, the study for exams and the answering of questions in exams and assignments.  This service takes the form of personal one-on-one tutoring and tutoring via phone or e-mail.
