A student with degree-seeking status (matriculation) may be eligible for financial aid, is able to plan a course of study that meets academic needs and interests, and will be assigned a faculty advisor. A first time freshman student who is uncertain of their major will be matriculated as an Academic Exploration student.
Students are bound by the programs and regulations set forth in the Catalog at the time they begin their degree studies (first day of the term) at Russell Sage College. Upon re-enrolling, students are newly matriculated under the current or latest Catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment.
