Student Problem Resolution
Which administrative office should I talk to? This guide briefly attempts to help clarify the roles of the Center for Medical Education in English, the Bursary Office, the University’s Dormitory Administration, and the new Residential Advisor’s (RA) system in resolving student problems.
Center for Medical Education in English (Dean's Office)
Center for Medical Education in English can help students in all matters concerning grades, documentation such as transcripts, letters of enrollment and fees paid, indexes, information about courses, medical check-ups, and other academic matters. Importantly, the CMEE is also responsible for the disciplining of students that fall out of line with either university or dormitory regulations.
