Unit for Academic Counselling and Development (UACD)

The team comprise educational psychologists, a psychometrist, a registered counsellor and intern psychologists. Support is provided to students on study methods, coping with test and examination stress, time management and the optimisation of their potential through individual consultations, work sessions and self-help material. Career counselling for registered students is also available. Please be sure to send an e?mail to studysuccess@sun.ac.za for an individual appointment or to enquire about our work sessions.?

Unit for Psychotherapeutic and Support Services (UPSS)

The Unit offers individual, group therapy and work sessions. Confidential and professional services are provided by psychologists and registered counsellors. The Unit offers psychotherapy for a broad spectrum of problems experienced by students, for instance depression, high stress levels, adjustment problems, substance abuse, and relationship or family problems.

The Unit has implemented screening sessions as part of the evaluation process for students who experience psychological challenges. The aim of the screening session is to determine the nature and urgency of the student's problem and to do a relevant allocation to the next level of care. An after hours psychological emergency service is also available to registered students from 16:00 to 08:00, including weekends (the ER24 crisis line number is 010 205 3032).

Social workers provide a service in the interest of student welfare. During the academic year, these workers render comprehensive professional psychosocial services to students regarding social issues, including support, guidance and counselling. Social workers manage the food security programme and students who apply for assistance are assessed holistically and receive the appropriate support if indicated.

Students who wish to enquire about the services or request any of these are reminded to send an e?mail to supportus@sun.ac.za for an appointment. The appointments for all services are conducted in a hybrid manner, which means they are either face-to-face or online.

Disability Unit (DU)

The Disability Unit offers a range of services to students with disabilities, from advice on appropriate academic support solutions, to accessible tailored study materials. The Disability Access Policy of Stellenbosch 肆客足球 (SU) informs the Unit's activities. We advise prospective students with disabilities about any available support when they arrive at SU. We also discuss appropriate academic support solutions and ensure that academic material is accessible for study, test and exam purposes. The DU also offers students and staff various training opportunities. These include a Lead with Disability programme for students and arrangements for staff training through the Siyakhula training sessions. Please come chat to us about any disability-related uncertainties and do contact us at disability@sun.ac.za.

Unit for Graduand Career S??ervices (UGCS)

The Unit supports students with the transition from education to employment. This could include individual sessions about your career, group sessions on CV writing, interview skills, your online LinkedIn profile and exposure to network opportunities with companies via career fairs and advising on methods to search for jobs. All our core services are offered online.

The Unit manages an online career services management system called MatiesCareers (bit.ly/MatiesCareers) that gives students easy access to search for and apply for permanent jobs, internships, part-time jobs and volunteer jobs. All SU students are strongly encouraged to register on the system. It is important for students to start preparing for their transition to the world of work as early as their first year. MatiesCareers provides information about the Unit's services and interesting activities happening on campus. This also affords students the opportunity to register online for the Unit's services. As several employers are registered on the platform, students can also upload their CVs to potential employers and search for employer's information and work opportunities. MatiesCareers allows students to stay abreast of the Unit's operations and the world of work 24/7. Contact us via e?mail at careerservices@sun.ac.za.?
