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. 

Through the advisement process, you will learn to:
  • 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
