Advisement at JCC
New to JCC? Join us for a virtual Get Connected Fall 2021 session!
The academic advising process at Jamestown Community College assists students in developing and implementing educational plans that are compatible with their life goals and which lead to student success and completion. Advisement provides a connecting and caring experience for students while emphasizing the importance of student responsibility in the process.
Your career community
At JCC, every student is part of a career community. Career communities are clusters of academic majors that share similar coursework or career opportunities, where you’ll have the opportunity to interact with faculty from multiple academic areas, connect with like-minded peers, and engage in organized events. Events may include speakers, employer panels, on-campus activities, and engagement opportunities within the local community.
Your advisors
Advisors assist students with academic, career, and transfer planning, and are available to all JCC students.
- Students with declared majors are assigned to faculty advisors from those academic disciplines, and are also connected to a community advisor for additional support.
- Undeclared students work with community advisors, who assist them in exploring and choosing a career pathway.
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.
