  • Providing information about transfer requirements
  • Selecting the right courses for your major
  • Information on registration procedures and class scheduling
  • Answering questions about college policies
  • Assisting with academic concerns and special needs
  • Listening carefully to your questions and concerns
  • We want you to succeed! You may be a new student or a student with previous college experience. You may be a currently enrolled, a returning student or you may be at Jeff State to take one class or complete a degree program. Whatever your status, an advisor is willing and waiting to meet with you to ensure that your academic experience at Jeff State is a successful one.
Why Should You See an Advisor?
  • "I am a freshman and have not decided on a major." - Don't worry! You have many options. A JSCC advisor can help you explore all of them!
  • "I know my major, but not quite sure what the requirements are." - An advisor can let you know what courses you need to take for your major and help you develop a realistic schedule.
  • "I am having some difficulties in my classes and not sure if I will pass them all." - Don't hesitate to see an advisor about this. He or she can discuss some options with you and tell you about the support programs on campus that can assist you.
  • "I stopped going to class, but I am not sure if the instructor dropped me from the class." - Professors generally do not assume that a student no longer wishes to be in their class. It is your responsibility to properly withdraw/drop. When in doubt, see your advisor.
  • "I have fallen below the required GPA and I received a letter stating that I am on academic probation." - A student is placed on probation for a semester when his or her cumulative GPA falls below the required GPA according to the number of hours attempted. Please contact your advisor immediately.
  • "I have been at Jeff State for 3 semesters and I need to know how many credit hours I need to graduate or transfer." - Although you may think you have met all the requirements, it is necessary to see your advisor to ensure that you stay on track.

Transfer Check Sheets

Transfer check sheets provide students and advisors an easy checklist of courses for a specific major. The courses listed for each major are identical to those listed on the STARS Guide. A student can use this sheet to see the classes needed for the Associate in Arts/Science degree. Once the courses are completed, the student can earn the Associate in Arts/Science degree and transfer to an Alabama public four-year college or university as a junior.
