Advising, Services + Resources

Trinity IDP provides advising and services geared to adult learners, together with full access to all of Trinity’s academic resources.


Advising

Because entering IDP students are transitioning to academic life at Trinity, we have created a comprehensive advising system. Each new student is assigned a faculty adviser who is a member of the IDP Council, which makes all IDP admissions decisions. Your faculty adviser will be familiar with your background from the admissions process and will help you identify the resources you need to succeed at Trinity. Your adviser will oversee your academic progress until you choose a major, when you will have an adviser from your major department. In addition, you will have a current IDP student as a peer mentor.

I don’t think there possibly could have been a better immersion than the IDP Transitional Seminar. The course was designed with great efficiency and economy to ensure that those of us just re-starting our educations (in my case, after 36 years!) would have an awareness of all the intellectual, practical, and technical skills Trinity would call for as we went forward in our program. Knowing there is a community of people at Trinity with whom I have in common years of adult experience and all the complications and rewards that go with them is a gigantic plus. Returning to school as a 56-year-old would have seemed much more daunting without the support system that the IDP program provides.
