The purpose of the TSS is to engage students new to Rutgers University and the School of Environmental & Biological Sciences in learning about the processes by which individuals learn in class and ultimately, achieve academic success. The course is geared towards transfer students in a semi-individualized, small discussion/seminar format. The goal of TSS is that students will gain a clear understanding of SEBS EOF and Rutgers University program policies; stay connected to the SEBS EOF office and be more aware of resources offered, find and create peer support networks within the EOF community and benefit from a smoother transition into Rutgers developing into EOF scholars within SEBS.
