Abstract:
A sample of 187 university students (53, 41 and 93 first, second
and third year respectively) participated in this study. No
significant relationship (r = 0.138) was found between the rate at
which students seek academic advising a
nd their perception on the
programme. The findings showed that the perception on academic
advising of students in different years of study is significantly (P <
0.05) different. The perception on academic advising of male and
female students was not statis
tically significant (P > 0.5). A
positive and significant (r = 0.256; P < 0.01) relationship was
reported between academic performance and students’ perception
on academic advising. It was concluded that ways of sustaining
and improving students image on
academic advising be put in
place.
