In order to ensure that every individual who comes to KIU receives all the support they require the Student Centre was established. Our Student Services Centre at the Registrar’s office is the focal point of contact for your administrative dealings with us; including questions relating to finance, immigration, student ID cards, library memberships, textbooks, exams or graduation. Through this center we wish to provide our students with the best possible supportive and hassle-free environment within KIU premises.
The Student Counselling Unit at KIU aims to offer confidential and professional help to the students to adapt to the university culture and experience minimal stress, as the phase of transferring from school life to university life can be stressful for the majority of individuals who are enrolled on undergraduate programs.
Student Counselling is the process of assisting, guiding and empowering students to resolve their academic, personal, social or psychological problems/difficulties and foster success in meeting their academic/ life goals.
Students can reach out to the Student Counselling Unit through the referrals made by the mentors, or they can self-refer themselves to the counselling Services through an appointment. Also, the students are given a hotline number to call in case of an emergency. We recognise the need to promote our students’ mental health and well-being.
