Here at EIBT we understand that the transition to University level study can be difficult for some students. To assist students to develop the study skills necessary to successfully complete their program of study, EIBT offers a variety of study and learning support services, including:

Lecturer/Student Consultation

All EIBT lecturers and tutors are available for face-to-face student consultation on campus for approximately one [1] hour per week per class. If, while undertaking studies at EIBT, you experience difficulties with a particular course you are strongly encouraged to meet with your lecturer/tutor in the first instance during their consultation time.

Study Skills Sessions

Students who lack confidence in areas such as note-taking, reading skills and exam techniques are invited to make a booking through the Administrative Assistant in order to take part in the study skills sessions available at EIBT. During these sessions, students can also access help with assignment drafts, researching and structuring assignments and help with writing and referencing.

The Counsellor is able to assist with general learning issues rather than those related to specific courses. Support and advice is available in relation to issues such as memory and how to get the best out of yours, coping with stress and anxiety as well as assisting you to create a personalized study plan to cover all the demands of study as well as those of your daily life.

English Language Support

Free language support is offered to students who need to improve their English language skills and further develop their reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammatical skills within an academic context. During these sessions students will be provided with individual assistance and feedback on their specific area of concern. Students who feel that they need extra assistance with language should notify EIBT of this at enrolment.

In addition, students may attend the weekly scheduled consultation with each of their lecturers to receive assistance with assignments or on understanding the concepts taught in class or encountered in their textbooks or other readings.

Attendance

All students enrolled at EIBT are expected to maintain an attendance rate of at least 80% per semester of their studies; this is a minimum that will ensure the best chance of success in your studies.
Academic Performance Monitoring

The performance of individual students will be monitored over the period of their studies and those whose performance is of serious concern may be asked to meet with the Director or others to see if the student requires assistance.

EIBT Computer Support

The IT Manager is able to provide students with assistance with serious computer-related problems involving, software applications, network and related resources and navigation of the EIBT portal.

Advice and refining your plans for university or other tertiary pathways

Students are invited to see the Counsellor to review their plans for university or other study beyond EIBT. This process can motivate the student to move steadily towards his or her goal for study at EIBT as well as checking the very best program from those available to the particular student.
