Your academic advisor One of your most important relationships at JMU will be with your academic advisor. Your academic advisor will assist you through your transition to JMU, help you understand your curriculum and connect you to resources that will help you be successful. Developing a good relationship with your advisor is a great way to stay well-informed and to start off your time at JMU strong. Incoming students are assigned a first year academic advisor who is specif- ically trained to support you through your first year. In February, you will transition to a major specific advisor. What you do: ◆ Know who your academic advisor is and how to reach out for assistance. ◆ Ask your advisor questions about things you don’t know. ◆ Know how to fulfill degree, major and general education requirements. What academic advisors do: ◆ Discuss academic choices with regards to long-term academic and career goals. ◆ Address questions and concerns regarding General Education, major and degree requirements. ◆ Help with academic planning, decision-making and with identification of other campus resources.
