Advising Services

Welcome to Advising Services!  

We are here to help you on your journey.  Advising Services utilizes a one-stop shop foundation in order to assist students with academic advising, registration, financial aid, transfer assistance, and career guidance.  

We developed pathways and assigned an Advising Specialist to each pathway.

Advising Specialists will assist you to develop your academic plan, register for classes, direct you to resources on campus, provide financial aid guidance, and discuss transfer and career opportunities.  Meeting with the Advising Specialist in your preferred pathway is critical to ensuring that you choose the right program for your educational and career goals, and accomplishing your goal of graduation and/or transfer.  

To make an appointment to speak with your Advising Specialist, please use the Advisor Scheduling App on the Student tab in your MyJeffCo portal.  You can select the program or pathway you are interested in, and you will be able to schedule with the appropriate specialist.

If you do not have a login, please contact the Admissions Office for assistance applying to the college.  If you are already a student and do not know your login information, please contact the Help Desk at (636) 481-3234.

Have a quick question? You can contact your Advising Specialist directly via email, or phone at 636-481-3000, using the extensions listed below.  You can also send an email to advisor@jeffco.edu for assistance.  This is monitored daily, Monday – Friday, and questions are answered as quickly as possible, with no response taking over 24 hours during the week.  Questions submitted outside of designated hours will be answered during regular business hours.
