Since we started remote learning in Spring 2020, we have created and cultivated a variety of resources for students and faculty. Here is a collection of videos and materials that members of the TCNJ community can use as they access TCNJ resources from home. You can find all videos on our YouTube account as well.
Students can make an appointment with any of our advisors through our booking links on our Contact Us page. If you’re not sure who to make an appointment with, you can fill out this survey to be matched with an advisor. You will receive a confirmation email detailing how to connect with your advisor (either via Google Meet or Zoom).
Faculty members can sign up for an individualized advising workshops/best practice session by clicking here (select last option).
Students, faculty, and staff can register to attend our academic success workshops here.
