We have a range of programs, resources and services to help you thrive at New College, from assistance with academic and career planning, to your health and well-being on campus.
What is a comprehensive support philosophy?
From your first mini-classes to your baccalaureate exam to your first job interview, you can turn to faculty and staff members to help you plan your path to graduation and beyond. A team of advisers, mentors and coaches will collaborate with you as you choose classes, explore areas of concentration, seek internships, conduct research, enhance academic skills, and pursue international opportunities. Just as importantly, you’ll find many resources on campus to support your physical, mental and emotional well being.
