In 2019, the Office of Student Persistence was created to benefit the NJIT community. We recognize there are times in a student’s academic career where additional support and specialized individual assistance is required.
The Office of Student Persistence pledges to provide a professional, friendly and safe environment to address whatever those individual needs may be. We strive to identify and assist in resolving key issues that may impede and/or impact the ability to complete one’s degree.
NJIT’s greatest strength is our students; we are committed to provide a premier higher educational experience to ensure your individual success. The Office of Student Persistence welcomes opportunities to create relationships with our community and highlight the academic, personal and social resources available to all NJIT students to cultivate student success.
