Academic advising occurs in two ways:
- Students meet with the Office of Academic Advising for transfer evaluation questions and general education questions. This office can help if you know your schedule and need only to register for classes. The Liberal Studies contact person is
Assistant Dean
Jennifer Thiel
(856) 225-6043
jjthiel@camden.rutgers.edu - Students meet with their program director for advising in their major. The contact person for Liberal Studies is
Dr. Ellen Ledoux, Director
(856) 225-2997
eledoux@rutgers.edu
Below is additional information about advising prepared by the Rutgers-Camden Office of Student Affairs.
Transcripts
Once you have been accepted and have decided to matriculate at Rutgers–Camden, your transcript evaluation will be completed and will be posted to your Rutgers University Transcript. You may view your unofficial transcript online.
Advising in Your Major
If you have completed all of your general education requirements, have no questions about your evaluation, you are ready to be advised by your major department. You can contact your academic department or program directly for an appointment. Liberal Studies majors should see Dr. Ellen Ledoux.
If you make an appointment, it is extremely important that you arrive on time and bring with you all material needed for the appointment which can be printed out from the following links:
- Your transcript and transfer evaluation
- Your general education and major requirement checklists
- A tentative schedule of courses taken from the online schedule of courses
You should use these sites to tentatively plan a schedule prior to your arrival. It will assist in making your registration smother and quicker.
Registering for Classes
Registering for classes is the next step in the process. You can register for classes online, by making an appointment with an advisor in your major or by making an appointment with an Assistant Dean in the Office of Student Affairs.
Web Registration
You may register online with your 9-digit student ID number; the personal access code is the month and day of your birth (four digits using zeros – mmdd). This link will also take you to the schedule of classes; choose Camden and the subject. Red classes are closed, green classes are open. Online registration allows students the opportunity to register at their convenience for courses.
Along with online registration comes student responsibility to register for the correct courses in the correct sequence necessary to meet graduation requirements in the time students have planned. Should you choose to register online without the assistance of an advisor, then you are solely responsible for your schedule and the Office of Academic Advising will not assume responsibility for incorrect, repeated or unnecessary courses. All students are welcome and encouraged to contact the Office of Academic Advising, even after you have registered, to review your schedule, review your transfer evaluation and ensure that you are making progress toward your degree.
