Students are urged to select their program in consultation with an academic adviser. The Office of Academic Services at Rutgers College provides academic advising by faculty members selected from various disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and science/mathematics areas. The board of general advisers in the Office of Academic Services serves students with undeclared majors and addresses questions regarding the college general education requirements (see Degree Requirement chapter). Students with declared majors are advised in the department of their major. Each student is responsible for fulfilling major, minor, and general education requirements of the college. First-year students receive academic advising and select their fall term courses during academic orientation in May.
