Advising for Engineering Students

Advising

The School of Engineering (SoE) offers comprehensive academic advising for its students. Each class is assigned one dean that works with them throughout their time at Rutgers in order to provide consistent support and personalized advice. 

First-year students have additional access to drop-in advising with both a general advisor and the first-year dean. 

Students can choose between virtual or in-person advising appointments at the Office of Academic Services.
