Advising Center Educational decisions are an important part of each student's responsibility. Students are encouraged to utilize their academic departments and academic advisors as well as technology in their educational planning. The Advising Office assists students in developing sound educational plans to suit their short and long term goals. We endeavor to assist students in obtaining accurate information about academic programs that will meet their educational needs. This begins with our comprehensive New Student Orientation Program and is continued with individual and group advising sessions throughout the academic year. Staff is available to provide each student with the opportunity to pursue self-exploration in an atmosphere of support and understanding. Students are actively encouraged to utilize online resources to gather information. We encourage students to become self-directed in researching four-year colleges/universities, graduate and professional schools. NJ Transfer Career, Employment and Counseling Services Educational
