Advising

Jefferson State is switching from Blackboard to Canvas for 2024 fall semester courses. Please review the following!

• Fall semester students will use the myJSCC link on the JSCC homepage and their rapid identity account credentials to access Canvas. Any fall semester student who has not claimed their A#@alabama.edu rapid identity account should do so immediately.
• To claim your account, search for an email from noreply@rapididentity.com in the personal e-mail address you have on file in Banner. Please follow the instructions in the e-mail to claim your A#@alabama.edu account. If you need any help or have any questions please contact the helpdesk at helpdesk@jeffersonstate.edu or by calling (205) 856-6088. The noreply@rapididentity.com address is NOT spam or phishing, it is ACCS contacting you with instructions.

• Please email advising@jeffersonstate.edu and include your full name, student A#, and question.

• Degree Works is a list of the classes needed to earn your degree. Login to myJSCC and click on Degree Works to view the list of courses. Degree Works is a great tool to use along with Alabama Transfers and an academic advisor to keep you on track to earning your degree!  

• Associate in Science degree programs for students who plan to earn an associate degree at Jefferson State and then transfer to a 4-year institution to earn a bachelor's degree.
• Jefferson State uses the Alabama Transfers agreement with 4-year institutions to guide students enrolled in these programs to take courses that are guaranteed to transfer to public institutions in Alabama.

• Associate in Applied Science degree programs for students who plan to complete an associate degree and go directly into the workforce rather than transfer to a 4-year institution.
• Courses in these programs may not transfer to a 4-year institution as they are designed for employment rather than transferability. Each of these programs have a faculty advisor available to discuss their program in detail. 

• Alabama Transfers is a website where students can review fields of study in Alabama, browse transfer guides by major or university, and obtain an official transfer guide for your intended major. The official transfer guide will help you navigate through the first two years of coursework and prevent the loss of credit hours upon transfer to your selected public 4-year institution in Alabama.
