Advisement for New Students

Your responsibilities

While your advisors are responsible to support and guide you through your academic journey, you are in the driver’s seat! At JCC, students are responsible to become self-sufficient in academic and career planning through consultation with faculty advisors. The Advisement Syllabus further explains responsibilities and expectations.

Create academic and career plans
Based on plans, select and self-register for courses
Continually monitor progress toward plans using Banner and Degree Works
Connect to educational resources which support achieving plans
If plans need to be adjusted, seek assistance from appropriate resources
Plan early and on an ongoing basis for a smooth transition to a transfer institution or the workforce

Your career community

At JCC, every student is part of a career community. Career communities are clusters of academic majors that share similar coursework or career opportunities, where you’ll have the opportunity to interact with faculty from multiple academic areas, connect with like-minded peers, and engage in organized events. Events may include speakers, employer panels, on-campus activities, and engagement opportunities within the local community.

Advisors assist students with academic, career, and transfer planning, and are available to all JCC students. Success Navigators assist students in the transition to college and connect them to advisors and other resources.
