A clear understanding of the academic program and contacts with faculty inside and outside the classroom are essential for successful graduate study. At The New School for Social Research, academic advising takes place in both formal and informal ways: written materials, orientations, individual appointments, informal conversations, and such non-classroom academic forums as student conferences, workshops, and seminars. Faculty advisors serve as academic mentors and are complemented by a peer advising system of departmental student advisors. Student advisors, who are advanced students, assist students in planning their programs of study, offer advice on program requirements, provide information, and meet with prospective students. They also act as liaisons between students and faculty and participate in orientation activities. Students are expected to consult faculty and student advisors at least once during each semester. Forms are available from student advisors to record the advising sessions and to be placed in the student’s file.
Academic
Review
Academic review of students’ progress toward the degree is probably the most important aspect of advising. The academic review affects whether students are able to register, whether they are eligible for institutional or federal financial aid, and whether they are allowed to continue in their program of study. Academic review is also an important and direct mechanism of communication between the department and the student to inform students of the quality of their academic performance in their department or committee.
All students should note that New School for Social Research programs will warn students who fail to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress and will place students on probation based on the policy stated under “Academic Standing and Progress” in this catalog. Students who fail to resolve their probationary status will be dismissed and may choose to appeal a dismissal through the school’s Academic Affairs Committee.
