via Zoom appointment, Monday–Thursday

The mission of academic advising is to assist each student in developing and implementing their own academic plan designed for your educational, career and personal goals. The advising process is a shared responsibility between students and advisers.

To make the most of your advising experience, we suggest that you:

• come prepared with a general idea of majors/minors that you would be interested in, including WGSS;
• come prepared with a general idea of career paths you may be interested in pursuing or areas of interest;
• consider what types of courses or subjects you may be interested in within the WGSS department;
• have a copy of your transcript available, and have a sense of when you are hoping to graduate.

Our Undergraduate Director can assist you directly or point you in the right direction, regardless of the type of advice you need or questions you have.

• The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, commonly referred to as FERPA or the Buckley amendment, is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student’s educational record. FERPA applies to all educational agencies or institutions that receive federal funding for any program administered by the Secretary of Education. FERPA also applies to private entities that contract to perform services for the University that it would otherwise undertake to perform on its own; in such cases, the private entity must observe the same FERPA protections applicable to the University.
• At Rutgers University, records, including progress, deficiencies, and grades may be released to parents only if they have been given access by the student, regardless of the age or tax status of the student. Students who wish to waive parts of this policy and allow their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to have more access to their information may do so via myGuest.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a requirement for all students receiving federal, state, or university financial assistance while enrolled at Rutgers. 

SAP requires maintaining a minimum GPA, completing a certain percentage of attempted credits, and completing a degree within a specified time frame.   

• Keep in mind: Your financial aid eligibility is based not only on your grades, but also on the number of credits you attempt and successfully complete each semester. 

• Important: Failing or withdrawing from courses MAY affect your ability to receive financial aid in the future.   

Work with an academic advisor to develop a balanced schedule each semester. Be sure to use Academic Support resources for strategies to successfully complete course requirements.  

If you do not meet the minimum SAP standards, you have the opportunity to appeal for continued eligibility for financial aid.
