Let’s hear from

        our faculty, staff, and students





                                 The Academic Success Center (ASC) is equipped with world-class facilities that
                                 complement the excellence of the University’s academic endeavors. In line with ADU’s
                                 Students First Approach, the ASC was created with students’ learning and study needs
                                 in mind. From the spatial design to the use of technology and resources, everything has
                                 been developed with the explicit purpose of enhancing learning and driving academic
                                 excellence. We plan to utilize the space hosting events, workshops, and mentoring
                                 sessions, focusing on developing soft skills not taught in the classroom.

                                 Did you know that over %25 of students who enter university do not complete their
                                 degree? What makes some students succeed in achieving their degree, while others
                                 face challenges? Some of the leading indicators of student success are student
                                 academic success and engagement in their educational journey in both co-curricular
                                 and extra-curricular activities. Retention and student engagement play an integral part
                                 in academic success in all universities.
                                 Student retention is closely tied to student learning and involvement - these factors
                                 contribute to the institution’s performance.  At Abu Dhabi University, we pride
                                 ourselves on providing students with not only quality education but also opportunities
                                 for students to become engaged in the overall campus community.  Part of this critical
                                 process is the ASC that provides opportunities to enhance the education outcome of
               Ms. Beena Vijayan
               Coordinator       all students.
                                 The ASC uses various learning models and support systems as catalysts for academic
                                 success. These include peer tutorials, workshops, and competitions that aim to
                                 empower all ADU students. So the next time you think about your life as a student
                                 at ADU, also keep in mind that university life is more than the academic side of your
                                 journey – it is a holistic experience to propel you into a rewarding future as a global
                                 citizen.
