Advising Services

The Academic Success Center serves as the primary first-year academic advising resource for Jefferson students on the East Falls campus.

Advisors are familiar with campus resources, courses, and academic policies, and are trained teaching faculty who will answer your questions, monitor your progress, and guide you through your academic career. 

Students can find their assigned advisor in Degreeworks (accessed in BannerWeb).

  • New students can schedule appointments with their assigned advisor
