The staff of your residential college is your central advising resource throughout your time at Princeton. Your dean, assistant dean, and director of student life work together as team to help you address academic and nonacademic issues.
Your dean and and assistant dean will oversee your academic progress during all four years here. As a general rule, the residential college assistant deans work closely with first-year students and sophomores, in collaboration with students' A.B./B.S.E. faculty advisers, and the residential college deans work more closely with juniors and seniors.
The third member of the college advising team is your director of student life, who can counsel you on a wide range of personal issues and is a member of the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students. Your director of student life will assist you if you find yourself having a medical crisis or family emergency, or need help navigating University Health Services. Your director of student life also supports your personal, social and cultural development.
In Princeton’s “advising community” model, students have several kinds of advisers — faculty, peer and professional staff — who collaborate to help with everything from planning your courses to managing the inevitable periods of stress. If you are uncertain about which adviser to consult, simply ask and you will be referred to the correct person.
