Advisement

All undergraduates please visit the following link for advisement; wpunj.edu/advisement-center

    Students in the Honors College

    Students in the Honors College are advised by the Honors College in their freshman year.

    Departmental Advisement (students with more than 30 credits)

    Students who have earned more than 30 credits are assigned a faculty advisor from the Department of Speech Language Pathology. The advisor serves as faculty representative to the student, primarily to assist in academic planning. Students must meet with their advisors at least once during each academic semester. During these meetings, the advisor and student will create a plan of study that will meet both the University's Core Curriculum requirements and the department's specific requirements. Advisors will also talk with their student advisees about their general progress in keeping their Grade Point Averages (GPAs) in line with expectations for the university and graduate school admission.
