Jefferson Community and Technical College Advisement
Mission Statement

The mission of academic advising at Jefferson Community and Technical College is to enable students to become full participants in the learning environment of the college and to take charge of their individual educational planning. This mission is fulfilled through the fostering of a relationship between advisor and student which will help the student to clarify goals for career and life, to utilize his or her personal strengths and the strengths of the college, to explore career options, educational opportunities and resources, to select courses to reach goals effectively, to make informed decisions and to navigate the college to solve problems. Students, although they have vastly differing needs and goals, can and should be responsible for their own decisions but with access to the counsel of advisors. Advisors assist students by providing them with reliable information regarding degree requirements, curricular options, academic policies and procedures, and with out-of-class opportunities for interaction advantageous to their educational, vocational, and personal development.
