Student Success provides a foundation for academic success to students when they enter the university. In addition to providing academic support services, Student Success houses the University Academic Advisement Center (UAAC).

University Academic Advisement Center

Jackson State University is committed to providing quality academic advising to all students utilizing a proactive and appreciative approach. The mission of the University Academic Advisement Center (UAAC) is to provide students with resources to take ownership of their academic careers and to assist students in attaining their educational goals. Most students should utilize the UAAC to receive advising services, but those who are student-athletes and JSUOnline enrollees should visit advisors in the Tiger Center for Student-Athlete Development and the JSUOnline academic advisors respectively. Students are encouraged to visit the UAAC on the 2nd floor of the H.T. Sampson Library. The Tiger Center for Student-Athlete Development is located on the 1st floor of H.T. Sampson Library, and the JSUOnline academic advisors are located in the 101 Capitol Building at the downtown JSU location. Each student is required to obtain academic advisement prior to each registration period in addition to scheduling periodic conferences during the semester to discuss academic program planning and progress. A student must follow the curriculum of the catalog under which they entered the University.

Student Academic Advisement Responsibilities:

• Familiarize yourself with degree requirements
• Check JSU email often
• Comply with deadlines and policies
• Utilize tools and resources made available to you
• Seek advisement frequently to avoid experiencing academic difficulties
• Maintain your own personal academic records, including transcripts, audits, evaluation of transfer work, and notes from previous advising sessions.

Note: Students who at any time are confused about academic requirements or their progress toward a degree are strongly encouraged to meet with their advisor.
