Learn More About the Advising Process

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.

Advising sessions have concluded for the Fall 2021 semester.

Drop-in Advising

Drop-ins are for students who have already attended an Academic Advising Session this semester and have follow-up questions about their plan of study. Drop-ins are not for future course planning. 

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU JOIN THE QUEUE OUTSIDE OF DROP-IN TIMES, YOUR SIGN-IN WILL BE CANCELED.
