It's not just your college; it's your community!
During any given semester, Joliet Junior College has more than 13,000 students enrolled in classes at its various campus sites. In order to maintain a respectful and safe learning environment, students are expected to acquaint themselves with the Student Code of Conduct. The code was designed to protect the integrity of the campus climate and has been constructed upon several values important to JJC. In general, students are expected to:

Respect each other
Be responsible for their actions
Be fair
Act with honesty
Trust each other
Demonstrate civility

The choices we make reflect who we are. College is a time for learning, both inside and outside the classroom. Each member of the campus community, instructors, staff and students alike, contribute to the uniqueness of our campus.

The Preamble of the college's Student Code of Conduct says it best:

All students enrolled at Joliet Junior College are expected to demonstrate qualities of integrity, honesty, civility and respect. The values are important to the learning environment and are expected to be exhibited in conduct of the entire college community, both in and out of the classroom setting.

JJC recognizes the rights of its students guaranteed by the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Illinois, which include a student's right within the institution to freedom of speech, inquiry assembly, peaceful pursuit of an education, and reasonable use of services and facilities of the College.

In the interest of maintaining order on campus and guaranteeing the broadest range of freedom, students must comply with the Code of Conduct, which reasonably limits some activities and prohibits certain behaviors which could interfere with the classroom setting, the orderly operation of the college, and the pursuit of the college's goals and values. In addition to the code, students must also recognize and comply with the standards of classroom behavior as stated in their individual course syllabi.

Students must understand that threats of violence are considered a serious infringement upon the learning environment and will be acted upon accordingly. Each student is responsible for reading and complying with the Code of Conduct, which is printed in the college catalog and the student handbook.

Behavior found to be in violation of the code may become part of the student's educational record.

The Responsible Student Should:

  • arrive on time to class
  • read the course syllabus
  • demonstrate respect in expressing opinions and listening to others
  • silence cell phone and pagers
  • attend every class session
  • come to class prepared. Expect an average of 2 hours homework for every hour in class
  • participate in classroom activities
  • understand and demonstrate the instructor's behavior expectations
  • complete all assignments in a timely manner
  • remain in class until dismissed
  • give the instructor your full attention
  • communicate with the instructor according to his or her instructions (phone, e-mail, etc.); and
  • notify the instructor regarding problems with any of the above
