Academic Advising

University College-Newark endeavors to ensure that all students receive sound academic advice and guidance during their undergraduate years. First-year students, other students who have not declared a major, and all students who are on academic probation are advised by a special group of academic advisers working through the Office of Academic Services. In addition to an assigned academic adviser in the Office of Academic Services, Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) students are also advised by the counselors at the Academic Foundations Center. Honors College students are also advised by the staff of the Honors College.

Once students have declared a major, they receive advisement toward their major requirements from a faculty member within that department. Simultaneously, academic deans and advisers are also available to all undergraduate students for guidance on academic matters, and students should regularly consult with them regarding college requirements, academic regulations, or their program of study. 

Students in the campus's professional schools are advised by general advisers in their respective schools: Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick, the School of Criminal Justice, or the School of Public Affairs and Administration. The Career Development Center is another useful resource for students seeking information or guidance in selecting a major. At the latest, a student must declare a major by the completion of 60 credits.
