The Office of the Dean of students provides students space to self-actualize in both academic and extracurricular activities for holistic development. Among other things, the office will be responsible for your welfare in the areas of academic, residential, social matters and offer counseling information services when needed.
As students’ interest is close to our hearts, their welfare and development is of great concern to the Madina Institute of Science and Technology. Hence the formation of a strong Students’ Representative Council (SRC) to act as the mouthpiece to articulate the different concerns of students will be of paramount interest to the Dean. This set up will obviously bring the views of students to bear on non-academic programme development, especially recreational, sporting, club activities, and other events.Students will be supervised to put in place transparent electoral processes towards the achievement of this objective.
As part of development of students the Office will encourage and oversee the formation of various groups and associations at MIST to promote freedom of association and also supervise the production of the Campus Newsletter by students to enable students not only access to information, but sharpen the writing and communication skills.
Our foreign students will be assisted to acquire requisite visas and relevant permits to stay in Ghana and experience the hospitality associated with the Ghanaian people. As part of their stay our foreign students will be introduced to the different cultures of the land as they travel across the length and breadth of the country.
I believe after these experiences they may not wish to go back to their respective countries of origin. But more importantly our ultra modern language Centre will enhance the English language skills of those who wish to be proficient in English.Please note that excellence as our hall mark can only be achieved through disciple and moral guidance.
MIST wishes to maintain a high academic and moarl standards. It is therefore highly recommended that students are guided by the Ethical Code and Conduct for students as contained in the MIST handbook.
Welcome and May God Bless
