Question:
Can I register online without speaking or meeting with an advisor?

Answer:
Students are strongly encouraged to talk with an advisor before registering online.  You may do this in person, via email or telephone.  You should carefully review your course selections to ensure that you have chosen the correct time and the correct campus.  Make sure you are aware of the schedule adjustment (dropping and adding of courses) period for each semester.   

If you have declared a major, your advisor will be located in the division under which your major falls.  A list of advising locations and majors are available from Online Advising. http://www.jeffstateonline.com/advising_center/advising_online/welcome_advising.htm

Question:
Is there a specific advisor for Distance Education?

Answer:
Distance Learning students receive the same advising services that on-campus students receive.  Advising is available via e-mail advising@jeffstateonline.com and telephone (1-800-239-5900, ext. 7775).

Note: Although some information can only be released to students in person, many of your questions and concerns can be addressed through e-mail and/or by telephone.

Advisors can answer your questions about distance learning courses and how they can fit your academic program. They can also assist with information and procedures regarding admissions, registration and course and degree requirements. Advisors can also provide additional information about campus resources and services.
