Dear Student,

Welcome to NJIT!  We of Academic and Student Services have a mission:
 
To enroll highly qualified students, establish a highly positive and supportive university climate, and provide academic services for the development and retention of students in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs.

Along with the academic departments, we have recruited and enrolled you to NJIT because we believe you have the interest and ability to succeed at NJIT, and you typically want a rewarding college experience. We know from conversations with students that came before you as well as those currently enrolled that you will experience many opportunities and possibly some challenges to your success while at NJIT, some of these may be personal, financial, or academic.

To help you engage the opportunities and meet those challenges and to enrich your "NJIT Experience," we have assembled a group of very talented professionals who provide services and programs for you and with you.  Working closely with the NJIT faculty, staff, student leaders and organizations such as the Student Senate and Graduate Student Association, we continuously seek to improve the "NJIT Experience" for you.
