Curriculum Advising Planning Programme (CAPP)
To manage and execute the student advising process more efficiently, the Office of the Campus Registrar, through the Registry Information Systems unit, rolled out the Curriculum Advising Planning Programme ( CAPP ) tool in the Faculty of Science & Technology (FST). CAPP was piloted in the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) in the previous year and proved to be an effective tool in monitoring and reporting on student progression throughout their course of study. Further it enables the Faculties to provide academic advice and declare degrees more easily.
