MAJOR SPECIFIC ADVISING: Faculty Advisors Guided Academic Pathway (GAP) Advisors | Faculty & GAP Advisors are assigned to students who have declared a particular major or degree. These are individuals who either teach in the field of concentration or have received specialized training in the requirements of a particular program. Once you have a solid academic plan, Faculty & GAP Advisors will help you map out all the academic requirements you need to complete. Faculty Advisors are experts in specific career and major areas and are available for most JJC programs. They provide assistance with major-specific educational planning, transfer advising, and specific career-related guidance. Before scheduling an appointment with a Faculty Advisor, students should be able to clearly answer the following questions. - Have you committed to a major of study?
- Do you know which career path you are pursuing within your major of study?
- Are you planning to transfer to another college or university after JJC?
- What school do you plan to transfer, if applicable?
When students can confidently answer these questions, they are ready to transition to major-specific advising. Please review the FACULTY ADVISOR list and use their contact information to schedule an appointment for major-specific educational planning and transfer advising. If students are still undecided or need assistance answering these questions, please contact the Student Advising Center for an appointment. |
