ABSTRACT
Advising has always played an important role in the learning experience of students at Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Advising has assisted students in their adjustment to the
rigours of a tertiary education, has supported them in their choice of an
academic career path, and more recently supported students in their develop-
ment and progress as English language learners. This vignette is a description
of the advising program and its associated tracking tool which are being
developed at Zayed University for use on its men’s campus.
