In order to help first-year students successfully adjust to their new academic and social environments, the University implements the Mentorship Programme which assigns each new student to a faculty member who acts as a mentor and guides the student throughout the year. The University also implements the Peer Support Programme where senior students provide support and guidance to new students of the same major or from the same faculty. The University also has the Mental Health Ambassador Programme where a selected group of students are trained to become mental health ambassadors who in turn organize activities that enhance their fellow students' awareness of psychological health and provide effective emotional support to their peers in the University.

In order to increase students' skills and competitiveness, the University organizes the Students Development Workshop Series, including University Learning Skills Workshop, Super Memory Workshop, Dating Relationships Workshop, Building a Professional Image Workshop and Winning Job Interview Skills Workshop.  These workshops have effectively improved students' learning, socializing, and career development skills.
