Designated CAP advisors (this includes most full-time faculty) are expected to conduct at least 20 mentoring meetings with students each semester.
CAP mentoring needs to be logged on SAIS.Â
CAP records are to be entered ONLY for BBA students, not for graduate students.
Each professor can see their list of advisees in the SolDream+ platform. (See the guide below.)
Advisee appointments are handled by SolBridge's academic advisor, Prof. Ines Mzali.
Starting in the spring 2025 semester, faculty can find a list of their advisees and additional information about them on the SolDream+ platform. (Information about SolDream+ below.)
SolDream+ is Woosong University's career mentoring platform.
Each professor can see information about their current advisees, including
A list of your advisees
Each advisee's contact information
Each advisee's past courses and grades, and their current courses
A quick guide is available here.
Additionally, the academic affairs team has prepared a detailed guide about using the platform for faculty.
Please note that the SolDream platform is still being developed. Some functionality is only available in Korean; some menu items are placeholders while the underlying system to worked on.
SolBridge runs an "Open House Week" in the third or fourth week of each regular semester. During this week, all section advisors, track advisors, specialization coordinators and graduate program directors and encouraged to arrange meetings with their advisees.
Sending a group email to all of your advisees can be a little impersonal. Mail Merge tools can help you send individualized emails and also track if your receivers opened the email, if they clicked on any links within the email (such as a meeting scheduler link you provide), etc. (Sample screenshot included)
If you're interested in using one, then Yet Another Mail Merge is worth checking out to learn the basics of how they work. (As a freemium tool, it is limited to 50 emails per day.) A slightly more complicated but entirely free option is available from Google.
Many thanks to Prof. Edwin Sanusi for the suggestion.
If one of your CAP advisees wishes to take a leave of absence (LOA) or drop out, please ask them to contact the Academic Affairs (AA) team first. The AA team will guide the students and explain the process to them.
For your information, an outline of this process is here:
Step 1: Meet the CAP advisor (you)
Step 2: Meet the Academic Advisor (Prof. Ines Mzali)
Step 3: Meet the Counselor
Step 4: Meet the Program Director and/or the Dean
For students requesting a leave of absence:
Ask for the main reason why they want to apply for LOA
Fill out a detailed counseling log with relevant information
E.g.: About the situation the student is currently facing
For students who want to drop out:
Ask for the main reason why they want to drop out
Ask about their plan after dropping out
Specifically, if a student plans to transfer to another school, ask if they will transfer to a Korean university or go abroad.
This information is needed for the annual report to the Korean education administration
Fill out a detailed counseling log with relevant information
E.g.: About the situation the student is currently facing
The process is sequential. The meeting with you must happen first before any of the other meetings can take place.
The dean will have the final say in approving the requests. At the final step of the dean's review, insufficient documentation (such as a sparse consultation log) can result in the process needing to be restarted.
Often, these applications from students are time sensitive. Please treat requests for leave of absence or dropping out with high importance and urgency.
