Admitted Student Steps

  1. MyJJC is where students view information that pertains to them including class schedule, important dates & deadlines and so much more. Your account is created 24-72 hours after applying to JJC. 

    Do you have a username & password for MyJJC? If not, then look up your MyJJC username and create your MyJJC password.

  2. Complete the New Student Presentation located in MyJJC (requires MyJJC username and password) so you can learn how to become a successful JJC student.

  3. Do we have your most current official high school transcript or equivalency record (GED, HiSET, or TASC)? If not, please contact your high school and have transcripts sent to the Admissions Office (1215 Houbolt Rd, Joliet IL, 60431 or admissions@jjc.edu). If you are still in high school, a current copy of your transcript will be accepted.

    * These must be on file for appropriate math and science placement.

  4. Did you earn credit from another college or university? If so, be sure to submit official college transcripts to the Registrar's Office and complete a Transfer Credit Evaluation Form.

  5. Have you completed placement testing and/or submitted your eligible scores to the Admissions Office? ACT and SAT scores must be submitted directly from the testing company. Visit Testing Services for additional information regarding JJC placement exams and eligible scores.  

  6. Now that you are admitted, how will you pay for your classes? Be sure to review Cost and Payment Options. Also, consider applying for Financial Aid and Scholarships. 

  7. Log into MyJJC to complete your remaining steps. Remember to complete the New Student Presentation and sign up for an Advising Session (requires MyJJC username and password)! Here you will meet with an Advisor to plan and register for your first semester schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • FAQ's

    Can I take a tour of the campus?

    There are many ways to Schedule A Visit to JJC. We encourage new students to visit us and learn more about our campus.

    How do I submit my eligible ACT or SAT scores? 

    Visit the ACT website and request that ACT scores be sent to Joliet Junior College Admissions Office (1215 Houbolt Rd. Joliet, IL 60431).

    Visit the College Board website and request that SAT scores be sent to Joliet Junior College Admissions Office (1215 Houbolt Rd. Joliet, IL 60431).

    I took Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school. How can I use my AP credit at JJC?

    Request that official AP scores be sent by the CollegeBoard to the JJC Registrar's Office and submit a Transcript Evaluation Form. Your AP credit will be evaluated and posted to your JJC transcript within 4-6 weeks. If you have AP credit that has not posted yet or you are awaiting exam scores, please inform your Advisor during your first semester advising session. Pending AP credit will likely impact first semester classes that your Advisor recommends.

    Can I use accommodations on the placement test?

    Placement testing is not timed and can be taken at different times and days. If you feel you may need additional accommodations on the placement test, please contact Disability Services to discuss what accommodations are needed.”
