Welcome Pioneer family members, We are so glad that your student has joined the William Paterson community. Our job is to make their college years a successful and enriching experience. A student’s transition to college is often times as challenging for parents. Helping your student make the transition to a university setting raises many questions, and striking a balance between guiding your student and supporting their independence may be difficult. As partners in your student’s education, we ask that you encourage them to develop relationships with their academic advisors. Academic advising is one of the most important services that William Paterson offers, since it helps students navigate through college, and offers important guidance as it relates to program/curriculum requirements, academic policies/procedures, and charting their way to graduation.
