Student Support
Registration
To register for an upcoming semester, students may use Self-Service Scheduling or meet with an Academic Advisor to select courses. All students must receive financial clearance each semester from both the Financial Aid and Student Accounts Departments. Once classes begin, Academic Advisors monitor students' progress to encourage the achievement of their educational goals. Students may also use My Academic Plan to track progress towards graduation.
Students enrolled in the Medical Assistant, Patient Care Technician, Practical Nurse, Surgical Processing Technician, and Surgical Technology programs have their schedules created for them and must print them directly from Engage.
Academic Advisement
Berkeley College recognizes academic advising to be an integral component of the educational experience of its students. Academic advising is a collaborative relationship for which Academic Advisors and students share responsibility and through which students create sound educational plans consistent with their academic, career, and personal goals.
In keeping with Berkeley College's mission, the Academic Advisement Department is committed to providing students with a comprehensive and supportive educational experience.
It is important for students to meet regularly with an Academic Advisor, minimally once per term, to register for courses and develop an individualized academic plan that will help students stay on track for graduation. The Academic Advisement Department will assist students with making connections to support services that will enhance the learning experience. Academic Advisement reserves the right to adjust students' schedules based on their degree requirements.
Students experiencing academic difficulties should contact the Academic Advisement Department as soon as possible.
In an effort to facilitate academic success, Berkeley College has implemented an early warning, midterm progress report, and late warning monitoring system designed to identify students experiencing academic difficulties. Those students then are referred to the Academic Advisement Department for appropriate intervention, which may include counseling, tutoring, and other referrals.
Online programs are subject to regulation by New Jersey and/or New York, as well as by the state of each student's residence. It is, therefore, essential that online students intending to change their state of residence notify their Academic Advisor as soon as possible in advance, since such change may affect their eligibility to remain enrolled in the College.
College Transfer Academic Advisement
The Academic Advisement Department provides transfer students with academic counseling that includes a review of the courses that have been accepted and degree requirements that are outstanding. Students are also provided with an overview of services offered by the Academic Advisement Department to help make sure the transfer experience is smooth and seamless.
