The Academic Advising Office (AAO) offers advising services and learning resources to assist undergraduate students to pursue academic success. As the unit responsible for the implementation of the University academic advising network, AAO endeavors to help students, especially first-year students, make a smooth transition to the University, set achievable study goals and develop meaningful study plans through a wide range of services and activities. One-on-one Advising with AAO Adviser AAO provides personalized academic advice which complements those offered by teachers in Faculties. All undergraduate students are welcome to meet with AAO advisers to discuss study matters, such as university regulations, development of study plans, academic progress, major/minor selection, exchange/ internship/ postgraduate study planning, etc. Appointments for face-to-face, Zoom or phone consultation can be made via https://booking.aao.hku.hk/. In addition, students can also use AAO’s “WhatsApp an Adviser” service to ask questions. A Hub of Study Resources and Academic Planning Tools AAO’s website serves as a hub for students searching for information and resources to guide their studies. Students can find comprehensive information on areas ranging from curriculum structure, regulations, major/ minor options across Faculties, semester dates to course enrollment. Online resources, such as Academic Roadmap, GPA calculator, discussion forum@Moodle, study tips and sharing by senior students on various academic topics are available for students’ use to map out their learning journeys and chart their progress.
AAO organizes a range of activities and workshops throughout the academic year to cater for the needs of students in different years of study. These include the new student workshop on adaptation to university studies; the Major-Minor week; AAO friends party (an informal gathering for mingling with senior year students); study sources exchange and workshops on scholarship application, postgraduate studies planning etc. For details of AAO activities, please check out AAO’s website, Facebook, Instagram or Weibo.
