What is Academic Advising?
Academic advising is an on-going process that assists students to develop and pursue educational and career goals and to achieve academic success. Academic advisors inform, support, and encourage students to become self-directed in their educational planning.
What is the Advising Center?
All first year and transfer students receive academic advising from professional advisors in the Advising Center, located in Founders Building, room 10. Once a first year student has chosen a major, he or she is assigned a faculty adviser in that major. JU encourages students to establish and maintain close, personal contacts with their academic advisors throughout their college careers.
The Advising Center provides special services to help students achieve academic success including long-term planning, educational planning major checksheets outlining degree requirements and specific course prerequisites, career advising for undecided and change of major students, the Early Alert System for identifying specific areas impeding student success in a particular class, special advising programs for students experiencing academic difficulty, and mid-semester progress reports.
Who is my advisor?
If you are a new first year student or transfer student at JU, you are assigned to a professional academic advisor in the Advising Center to register you for your first semester courses. If you have declared a major, you will be assigned to a faculty advisor in the area of your major during your registration meeting with your professional advisor. All undecided and pre-nursing majors are assigned to a professional advisor in the Advising Center.
