Announcements
Attention Fall 2011 Freshman: If you have questions concerning academic advising or your Fall 2011 class schedule, please contact the academic department. A listing of schools and academic departments can be found at http://tcnj.pages.tcnj.edu/academics/
Welcome to TCNJ’s Academic Advising Resources page. This Web site has been created to provide faculty and students with helpful links and information necessary to guide students toward successful academic progress. Read our definition of Academic Advising.
All TCNJ students are assigned a Faculty Advisor. While we hope this page will provide you with helpful resources it is not meant to take the place of personal academic advising. You should meet regularly with your advisor and always consult your advisor prior to registering for courses. Your Faculty Advisor’s name and email address can be accessed through your PAWS account.
Read the Advising Planning Council's recommendations on Characteristics of Advising at The College of New Jersey.
We are interested in your comments and suggestions to enhance our website. Please complete our Site Survey to assist us in providing exemplary advising resources at The College of New Jersey.
Special Note – How the Option A, second (or double) major works:
Students with a second major need only to complete two courses each in the three broad sectors of human inquiry: Arts and Humanities, Social Science and History, and Natural Science and Quantitative Reasoning.
Here are the possible scenarios:
- Where a given sector includes, from either or both majors, at least two courses in either domain, that sector is generally satisfied (see below for exception). Domains are the sub-divisions of each sector, e.g., ‘world views and ways of knowing’ and ‘literary, visual and performing arts.’
- When an additional course must be added to a sector, that course must have a different prefix from the existing one.
- When two courses need to be added, they need to be of two different prefixes.
- It is not necessary to include a course from each domain except in the case of Natural Science and Quantitative Reasoning. All students, no matter how they satisfy the breadth requirement, must have at least one course in Natural Science with lab, and one approved course in Quantitative Reasoning.
