Faculty Student Association

Jefferson Community College’s Faculty Student Association (FSA) is a separate not-for-profit auxiliary that operates many of the services that help students outside of the classroom. We operate independently, but work closely with the College to serve educational, social and dining needs on campus. The FSA also offers grants to support campus life activities and events, individuals and groups on campus.

FSA is a membership-based organization and all Jefferson students, faculty and staff are members. We actively look for students to get involved at the Board level and help be a voice for all students.

Interested in learning more? Call (315) 786-6583 or email us at fsa@sunyjefferson.edu.

The FSA manages various parts of college life, including:

• The JCC Bookstore, operated by Barnes & Noble College Management
• Courtyard Cafeteria (operated by American Dining Creations)
• Jefferson Campus Care (childcare center)
• Vending machines (please report any problems or refunds needed with vending machines by calling the FSA Office at (315) 786-6583)
• SUNYCard Services
• On campus catering services
• East Hall, the College's residence hall
