Undergraduate Academic Advising
Your academic advisor provides resources, guidance, and support along your academic journey. Our professionals will help you explore, define, and develop an educational plan so you can achieve your goals.
Academic Advising Sessions
All CJS Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors must attend an Academic Advising Session each semester. The session you register for depends on the number of credit hours you have completed - so you'll go by the number of hours you completed at the end of last semester, not including classes for this semester.
Drop-in Advising
Drop-ins are for questions about your fall schedule, swapping or dropping classes, personal issues, military obligations, etc. Drop-ins are not for future course planning.
