FIS Academic Mentorship
The FIS Mentors seek to:
- Create an atmosphere of openness, caring, and concern
- Assist students in planning a program consistent with students’ abilities and interests
- Help students clarify values and goals
- Direct students to resources at the Florham Campus
- Know FDU’s academic standards, policies and procedures in sufficient detail to provide students with accurate and usable information
- Teach students how to use Self-Service to search and register for courses
In turn, FIS students are expected to do the following:
- Recognize personal responsibility for continuous evaluation of their academic progress and ultimate responsibility for their academic choices.
- Clarify personal goals and values
- Become familiar with FDU’s academic policies, procedures, and requirements
- Know graduation requirements for their chosen field of study and maintain accurate, current records of progress toward those requirements
- Initiate contact with an FIS mentor and seek help on a regular basis
FIS Advising for a Summer Course at the End of Freshman Year:
Students seeking to take courses at FDU (Florham or Metropolitan Campus) during Summer Session will be advised through FIS.
The Summer Advising Workshop will take place in conjunction with the Spring Advising Information Sessions.
Becton College students taking classes off-campus at a community college or other four-year institutions should read the Off-Campus Course Authorization policy and receive appropriate sign-offs from the Becton Advising Center.
