The Division of Academic Development and Support 

The Division of Academic Development and Support (ADS), under the leadership of the Operational Director, Professor Jenny Clarence-Fincham, has established itself as a vibrant and coherent structure within Academic Development and Support at UJ. It consists of four centres that are committed to offering students, and also staff, a holistic and integrated service which facilitates both their academic success and their psycho-social well-being.

The four centres that constitute the Division are:

• The Academic Development Centre (ADC), which offers developmental academic support to students and staff
   
• The Centre for Technology-Assisted Learning (CenTAL) which manages the Learning Management System (Edulink) and supports the integration of technologies into student learning
  
  
• The Centre for Professional Academic Staff Development (CPASD), which coordinates the professional development of the full spectrum of academic staff
   
• The Centre for Psychological Services and Career Development (PsyCaD), which focuses on the psycho-social well-being of students and staff.
