Adviser Information

Student adviser

The President's Cabinet agrees to allow administrators to serve as club advisers for not more than five contact hours per week. Any such advising must be approved in writing by the supervisor. Administrators who have a teaching contract during a period when they also seek to work as club adviser may not exceed the five-hour per week limit in total. Thus, if the administrator were teaching a three-hour course, the limit on advising a club would be two hours.

Serving as a club adviser during the day would fall under the provision for administrators who ask to teach during the daytime. The President's Cabinet agrees to allow administrators to serve as club advisers during the day with the advanced written permission of the supervisor. The administrator should indicate how the time would be made up. Support & clerical staff need to make arrangements for club activities during work hours with their immediate supervisor. All adviser positions must be approved by the person's supervisor.

Any club adviser position that is vacant will be posted for all JJC employees to apply for.

  • Lend experience and knowledge to club.
  • Act as a resource person.
  • Encourage students to attend officer trainings and/or Student Leadership Series.
  • Attend all club meetings and special events/activities.
  • Accompany students on any field trips/conventions they attend.

  • Monitor usage of copy machine and postage expenses by club. If color copies or posters are being created, all materials must be approved and submitted through OSA. Your allocated account will be charged for these copies.
