What is a Student Success Advisor?

When you study online at JCU Online, you can be sure that you will receive the best possible guidance and assistance to help you achieve your goals.

In addition to the academic and student networks you’ll develop, you will be introduced to your Student Success Advisor upon enrolment. They provide access to useful resources, dedicated guidance and motivation throughout your study journey.

Meet Claire from the JCU Success team. She explains the role and benefits of having a dedicated Student Success Advisor.

The role of a SSA

Study one subject at a time, across a seven-week study period

Instead of juggling multiple topics at once, JCU Online lets you focus your time and energy on just one subject at a time. No more juggling priorities or meeting multiple assessment deadlines.
