The Online Division at Saint Joseph’s College understands the many challenges that face distance learners. With that in mind, a very effective and comprehensive student support system has been developed with the working adult in mind. A major component of this support system is the Academic Advising Office. Every distance education student is automatically assigned an academic advisor upon enrollment. The advisor is there as their personal online connection to guide them through each course during their entire program of study. They provide academic advising on course content, degree and online program requirements, give direction on administrative policies and procedures, and provide motivational support through proactive contact via email, phone, and/or written communication. These full-time professional advisors work closely with online students in order to help them achieve their personal and professional educational goals.
