The Tertiary Support (TS) programme provides the following four categories of holistic support to tertiary students : 1. Administrative support: Students from lower-income backgrounds must complete more administrative procedures than their better-resourced peers, particularly when they require financial aid and closer accommodation to their studies. These students typically have little to no support from their home environments for navigating these processes. 2. Targeted student support: These student-centred support services ensure that students don’t fall through the cracks in the higher education system due to both academic and non-academic challenges. Each student’s progress is monitored, individual meetings are scheduled, and students are referred to specialist support services where needed. 3. Personal and professional development: This intervention helps students to integrate into the academic and social community and includes a programme orientation and end of year social, a graduation lunch and quarterly campus visits. Regular hikes are arranged for all students, so that they can experience the natural environment away from the stresses of home and studies. 4. Mentorship: Students are matched with appropriate mentors based on a mentee assessment and a mentor screening process. SAEP matches students with professional individuals who are willing to offer academic support, share their knowledge of success and possibly assist in creating job shadowing opportunities.
