Academic Advisement
Students can receive help in choosing their major, selecting courses to fulfill requirements for their chosen major, and tailor their college education to prepare them for the career of their choosing.
FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE
The First Year Experience at Russell Sage College is designed to provide a caring and responsive environment in which women students may learn to cope with the challenges and adjustment that confront them during their academic and personal transition.
Approximately 20 first-year students are assigned to a faculty mentor and a student mentor. The mentor teams work extensively with first-year students during the First Year Welcome Day and throughout the summer prior to Fall Start up, and they continue to meet once a week throughout the first semester in FYE 101.
Rising sophomores, juniors and seniors are invited to apply to become FYE Student Mentors for Fall 2009. Please contact the Advising Office (244-2272) for more information. Click on the links below to obtain the necessary forms that should be submitted to the Director of Academic Advising by March 20, 2009.

UNDECIDED PROGRAM
In an effort to assist those students who would like more time to explore possible academic and career paths, the Undecided Program was created to optimize a student's choice of major and work while meeting degree requirements. The program incorporates five components: advising, information gathering, experiential learning, career preparation, and placement. By working with academic and career counselors, and faculty from all divisions, our goal is for students to explore the curriculum, investigate career choices, take advantage of diagnostic assessments, prepare for the world of work, and find placement in their chosen field.
