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.Honors Living-Learning Community (HLLC) are advised by the staff at HLLC.
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' professional schools are advised by general advisers in
their respective schools: Rutgers Business School, 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.
