Who is my advisor? Each student is assigned an academic advisor depending on your year, academic standing, day or evening status, and/or major. You can determine who your advisor is by logging onto WebAdvisor and clicking on your profile.
Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies
Probation and Dismissal are based upon the student’s cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). For more detailed information please refer to page 232 of the 2007 catalog.
Grade Appeal Policy If you think you have received a final grade you did not deserve than you may appeal that grade within the first two weeks of the next semester. For more detailed information on the steps of the appeal process please see page 240 of the 2007 Catalog.
Petition Process
A student may petition the Faculty Committee on Academic Standards for the following reasons: grade appeal (only after previous steps of the appeal process have been exhausted), permission to repeat a course for a third time, permission to exceed 18 credits in one semester, and to take courses at another college (when it would otherwise not be permitted). Please fill out the petition form and submit it to the Registrar’s office for processing.
Withdrawal Process
A student may officially withdraw from the College prior to the end of classes in a given semester. W-grades will be recorded if the voluntary withdrawal is made between the beginning of the third week of classes and the last day to withdraw without the permission of the Faculty Committee on Academic Standards (see Academic Calendar). After that date, a "WF" will be recorded.
Students who feel that there are mitigating circumstances may file an appeal with the Faculty committee on Academic Standards. In order to withdraw, the student must complete a withdrawal form available in the Office of Advising and Registration. Failure to withdraw officially will lead to failing grades and may limit chances of reinstatement at a later date. Students who have withdrawn and who wish to be considered for reinstatement must complete the reinstatement application available in the Admissions Office.
To withdraw from a course, a student must see their advisor or an advisor in the Advising office to fill out the appropriate form. Please note: students will receive a W-grade only if the withdrawal takes place after the start of the third week of class and before the last date to withdraw without permission of the Faculty Committee on Academic Standards (see Academic Calendar). Course withdrawals after that date will result in a "WF" grade.
Undeclared Students
Each student must declare a major or area of concentration formally prior to registering for the 17th course. The Career Services office is available for assistance selecting a major.
Transfer Students
The courses you are transferring will be evaluated by an advisor once you have been accepted to the College. If there are courses that need further evaluation you must take a description of those courses to the department chairperson for possible use in your major.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I change my name?
You must bring a copy of the official papers (e.g. marriage certificate, court order) changing your name to the Registrar’s office. The change will be recorded in the system and a copy of the paper placed in your permanent file. If a mistake has been made in the spelling of your name, report the error and the change will be made. - How do I change my address?
You may obtain a copy of the form to change your address and/or phone number in the Registrar’s Office. The form is also on the web under FORMS. The form should be printed out, completed and mailed or faxed (973-748-2767) to the Registrar’s office for processing. - How do I report a change in my Social Security Number?
You must bring your social security card to the Registrar’s office where a copy will be taken and the change recorded in the system. - How do I get a copy of my grades?
At the end of each semester, grades are mailed to all students officially registered for that semester. Grades are mailed to the address listed in the system. In addition, students may request a student copy of their transcript in the Registrar’s office at no cost or simply log onto WebAdvisor to view all grades. - Where do I pay my bill?
Each semester a student must clear his/her bill in the Bursar’s Office. Even if a bill is completely covered by financial aid or paid by an employer, the student must contact the Bursar’s Office to that the funds can be accessed or a deferment activated. For more information on paying your bill please view the Bursar webpage. - How do I get a copy of my schedule?
Students receive a copy of the courses selected when they register with their advisor. Also, a copy of the student’s course schedule and classroom assignments can be obtained by logging onto WebAdvisor. - How do I change my major?
To change your major, pick up a Declaration of Major form in the Advising Office. The form should be completed and left in the Division Office of the major you are changing to so that the Chairperson can sign the form. Once the form is signed, it is sent to the Registrar’s Office where the change is recorded. When a current student declares or changes a major or concentration, the student becomes subject to the current major requirements at the time of declaration.
