Welcome
You, our student, are important to us. As a Faculty of Commerce and Administration student, you are encouraged to take advantage of our services in whatever area you feel you may need assistance and/or advice. In your first year, you may have questions and concerns that you hesitate to bring to anyone's attention - however, nothing related to your studies at Victoria is too small or too big for us to help you with.
It may be something we can solve for you, or we may need to refer you to one of our Schools, or one of the Central Services. Whatever it is, it is important to us that we guide you effectively.
As you advance in your studies, your questions and concerns may become more complicated. Some of you will progress from undergraduate to graduate studies. Those questions and concerns, whatever they are, and whenever they arise, are important to us. Together with you, we are looking forward to that day when you walk across the stage of the Michael Fowler Centre to receive your certificate. We aim to guide you on your journey.
The Student and Academic Services team looks forward to welcoming your call, your email and your visit. Take a few minutes to have a look at the services offered and described in the following pages. Your feedback is welcome at any time, as we are always working towards a better service.
