Abstract

Failure of fast adapting to this critical situation may adversely affect their academic performance. The current study aims to identify the needs of the late arriving international students towards the academic support, and to evaluate the current academic support provided to them. A total of seventy one late arriving international students and twenty eight academic staff from two Private universities were involved in this study. It is concluded that the majority of late arriving students was satisfiedwith academic support provided in all the two universities. However, based on the findings, only a small group of the International students managed to overcome the academic dilemma of late arriving.
