The Impact of Academic Support Services on Student’s Recruitment and Development

Abstract

Students consistently strive to attain higher grades in their respective courses, as they are obligated to complete these courses in order to obtain their graduation degree. There are various methods to enhance one's GPA, including intensifying study efforts, dedicating more time to studying, engaging in group study sessions, and utilizing university-provided services. I would like to inquire about the effectiveness of these services in attaining improved academic performance.  This study, conducted in the UAE, aims to examine the relationship between several variables (additional courses, advisor help, library support, and contractual services) and student achievement, which is the dependent variable. The research aims to determine the efficacy of these interventions in enhancing students' academic performance, using CGPA as an intermediary variable. With a sample size of 50 students, this study has the potential to inform universities on how to enhance their teaching methods and enable students to attain higher grades in their courses. The university should implement more effective strategies to support students or enhance the already established methods outlined and evaluated in this descriptive study. Students should be more cognizant of the services offered by CU Ajman university in order to maximize their academic success.
