Advice For Distance Learners

Distance Learning students receive the same advising services that our on-campus students receive. Many of your advising questions may be answered by visiting the Online Advisor from our homepage www.jeffstateonline.com. However, we strongly encourage all students to speak with an advisor each semester.

Advising is available via e-mail advising@jeffstateonline.com and telephone (1-800-239-5900, ext. 7775 (Jefferson), 5911 (Shelby) and 2712 (Pell City). (Note: Although some information can only be released to students in person, many of your questions and concerns can be addressed via email.)

Advisors can answer your questions about distance learning courses and how they can fit your academic program. They can also assist with information and procedures regarding admissions, registration and course and degree requirements. Advisors can also provide additional information on campus recourses and services.

Online courses require assignments, papers and exams. Distance Learning is more convenient for students who cannot physically come to campus for classes; however, these courses require as much study time and effort as on-campus courses.

Please contact an advisor today. For more information about distance learning courses, follow this link to the Distance Education Department
