Center for Student Success

Virtual Services Update for Academic Advisement (COVID-19)

Following the guidelines for social distancing to curb the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the Center for Student Success has modified its delivery of services to continue to help students. For first-year students with advisement holds, appointments with Student Success Advisors can be set up online using Connect. You may continue to schedule meetings with your Student Success Advisor, but know that all meetings will take place via Google Meet or phone conference. At the present time, Student Success Advisors are not available for walk-in appointments, but we launched a new chat feature on our website that will be available during business hours (Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm). If you are a new transfer student or sixth semester (Junior) continuing student with an advisement hold, please email your faculty advisor (contact info found in your Connect Success Network) for info on how to meet with them for remote advisement.

The Center for Student’s Success’ Advisement Team is still committed to helping you develop your academic potential. Let’s work together to #flattenthecurve. Should you have any questions, feel free to email success@ramapo.edu.
