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 the current semester.
Academic Advising Sessions have concluded for Spring 2022. Students who attended an Advising Session and have follow-up questions may attend Drop-in Advising, either in-person or virtually.
Drop-in Advising
Drop-ins are for questions about your current schedule, swapping or dropping classes, personal issues, military obligations, or if you have follow-up questions after you attended an Academic Advising Session, etc. Drop-ins are not for future course planning.
Week of May 23rd:
No Drop-In Advising. If you need to speak with your advisor and she doesn't have any individual appointments available, sent her an email and ask to set up an appointment. Be sure to let her know what you need to talk about!
If you sign in more than 5 minutes early or during a time when there are no drop-ins, your sign in will be canceled. You'll have to sign in again during the posted times.
