 Prior to Dean [[Austin Quigley]]'s appointment in [[1995]], students at [[Columbia College]] had individual faculty advisers. The system was incredibly dysfunctional, with faculty members lacking the expertise necessary to aiding students in navigating Columbia's bureaucratic labyrinth. Also, there may have been issues of general disinterest. Quigley scrapped the system and brought and moved to create a dedicated advising system.
-Until the fall of [[1998]], central advising was administered though a house-system, where deans were assigned to each dormitory. In September of 1998, Columbia created the [[Division of Student Affairs]] and with it the Class Center system, where teams of deans were created to advise each class.<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/newrec/2402/story.3.html A New Role: Chris Colombo, Dean of Students], Columbia Record, September 11, 1998</ref>

 In [[2002]], Student Affairs decided that the assembly line approach to advising wasn't working and announced that the class centers would be merged to create two two-year centers, creating [[FYSAAC]] (pronounced fye-sack) in 2002, and [[JSAC]] (pronounced j-sack) in [[2003]].<ref>[http://columbiaspectator.com/?q=node/10327 Student Affairs Reorganizes Advising], Columbia Spectator, September 12, 2002</ref><ref>[http://columbiaspectator.com/?q=node/12605 Jr/Sr Center Provides Continuity in Advising], Columbia Spectator, Septemeber 11, 2003</ref>
