368 acres on the west side of Joliet for a new campus. In April 1969,
the Board voted to build interim facilities consisting of 17 temporary
buildings on the new site. The college began offering classes at its new
location in September 1969, serving 4,130 day and evening students.
The $50 million Main Campus was fully operational in the fall of 1974.
During 1973 and 1974, both the area and the population of the district
expanded with the addition of Peotone, Dwight, Odell, and the area of
Lemont that is in Cook County. Today, the 1,442-square-mile district
serves a population of more than 650,000 in Will, Grundy, Kendall,
LaSalle, Kankakee, Livingston, and Cook Counties. To better serve
people throughout the district, off-campus instructional sites have been
established at many high schools in the college district, as well as civic
centers, churches, libraries, and businesses.
In the fall of 1980, the college opened an instructional site at the Louis
Joliet Renaissance Center at 214 N. Ottawa Street in Joliet’s downtown
City Center. Today, that facility is known as the college’s City Center
Campus, which offers a variety of credit and noncredit classes. The City
Center Campus provides hands-on experience for JJC Culinary Arts
and Hospitality Management students who run the Renaissance Center
restaurant and banquet facilities. The City Center Campus also houses
the college’s Community and Economic Development (CED) division,
as well as the Division of Adult and Family Services (DAFS). Community and Economic Development is the headquarters for workforce
preparation, employee training, business development and technology
deployment for JJC’s district. The Division of Adult and Family Services
works to provide a range of education, job training, employment, and
support services for participants and their families. Most programs and
services are provided at no cost, and provide funds for tuition, books,
transportation and childcare.
In January 1993, JJC opened the Romeoville Campus at 1125 W.
135th Street in Romeoville, a 35,000-square-foot facility with 18 general
classrooms; biology, chemistry and computer skills labs; a library/learning
resource center; and offices for student services, faculty and administrative
support. Romeoville Campus offers a full range of credit and noncredit
classes, including accounting, advertising, biology, business, business
law, chemistry, computer information systems, culinary arts, economics, education, English, geography, history, management, mathematics,
philosophy, political science, psychology, real estate, sociology, speech
and word processing.
The Main Campus expanded in 1996 with the Arthur G. and Vera C.
Smith Business and Technology Center. The 90,000-square-foot facility houses several state-of-the-art microcomputer labs; the Business
and Computer Information and Office Systems departments; and the
Electronics Engineering Technology, Electrical/Electronic Automated
Systems Technology, Construction Technology and Computer-Aided
Drafting programs. The facility also is home to many of JJC’s Community
and Economic Development workforce services that assist business and
industry in adapting modern technologies directly into the workplace.
In 2000, the Main Campus opened the Veterinary Technology and
Industrial Training Building and Centennial Commons campus student
housing, which is run by an outside management group.
With significant growth in student population from Grundy County,
JJC opened the Morris Education Center at 1715 N. Division Street in
Morris in fall 2001.
In 2007, the John H. Weitendorf Sr. Agricultural Education Center
was opened to serve the needs of JJC agriculture and veterinary medical
technology students. The property is located on Laraway Road in Joliet
and was donated by JJC alumnus John H. Weitendorf.
In April 2008, the college’s Board of Trustees approved a $220 million
master plan, which will alter the look of the college while enhancing
and providing new services to students and the community. The board
approved a $9 capital assessment fee in May 2008, which will fund $70
are jointly committed to the advancement of scholarly endeavors. In turn,
the academic process at the college can only strengthen.

collegial well-being and self-rejuvenation. Joliet Junior College endorses a healthy environment where creativity, humor, and enjoyment
of work are encouraged. The Joliet Junior College community creates a

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
Joliet Junior College is the nation’s first public community college.
J. Stanley Brown, superintendent of Joliet Township High School, and
William Rainey Harper, president of the University of Chicago, founded
JJC in 1901 as an experimental postgraduate high school program. The
college’s initial enrollment was six students; today, JJC serves more than
38,000 students in credit and noncredit courses.
Brown and Harper’s innovation created a junior college that academically paralleled the first two years of a four-year college or university.
Within a few years, the concept of “community” had grown to include
students outside the existing high school district.
By December 1902, the Board of Trustees officially sanctioned the
program and made postgraduate high school courses available tuitionfree. In 1916, the Board of Trustees officially named the post-high school
program Joliet Junior College. The following year, the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools accredited the college, and the State
Examining Board approved selected courses for teacher certification.
Enrollment at the time numbered 82 students.
In the years that followed, JJC responded positively and creatively
to the pressures of a world war, depression and rapid social change.
The college met the challenge of a growing technological society in the
1920s and 1930s by expanding the curriculum to include programs in
business and industrial training. The return of war veterans in the 1940s
and 1950s prompted further curriculum development in the area of twoyear occupational programs. Both the transfer and occupational divisions
of the college grew at a steady pace.
In 1965, the Illinois Legislature enacted the Illinois Junior College
Act, creating specific districts served by various community colleges.
JJC was to serve people in parts of seven counties in northern Illinois.
By 1967, college enrollment approached 4,000 students. In February
of that year, the citizens of 12 high school districts in portions of Will,
Grundy, Kendall, LaSalle and Kankakee Counties voted to establish
Illinois Community College District 525—an area to be served by JJC.
For two years, the college rented facilities at the original Joliet Township
High School building. In February 1968, the Board of Trustees selected

ACcreditation, REcognition AND
INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY
INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITATION - Joliet Junior College is
accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the
North Central Association, one of six regional accrediting agencies in
the United States.
Accreditation is a voluntary process whereby colleges and universities
seek accreditation status from a nongovernmental body. According to the
Higher Learning Commission Overview, “accreditation by the Commission and by other nationally recognized agencies provides assurance to
the public, in particular to prospective students, that an organization has
been found to meet the agency’s clearly stated requirements and criteria
and that there are reasonable grounds for believing that it will continue
to meet them.” While accreditation is a voluntary process, colleges and
universities that are not accredited are ineligible to receive federal and
often state funding. Accreditation status could also affect other quality
assurance processes, like state recognition or the transfer of credits.
Colleges and universities can elect to participate in two routes in gaining accreditation: the Program to Advance Education Quality (PEAQ)
or the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). Since 2001,
Joliet Junior College has participated in the AQIP process. The goal of
participation in AQIP is to infuse the principles and benefits of continuous
improvement into the culture of the institution. According to the AQIP
Web site, “with AQIP, an institution demonstrates it meets accreditation standards and expectations through sequences of events that align
with those ongoing activities that characterize organizations striving to
improve their performance.”
More information about AQIP can be found online at www.aqip.org or
at the Joliet Junior College AQIP Web site: www.jjc.edu/aqip.
GOvernance
Illinois Community College District 525 is one of 39 community college districts governed by the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB)
under the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE). The ICCB was created by the General Assembly under the provisions of the Illinois Public
Junior College Act of 1965. Its primary responsibilities are to coordinate
the educational programs offered through the community college system,
to allocate state funding for capital expansion, and to act on curriculum
changes proposed by individual community colleges.
JJC is directly governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, all of
whom are elected from within the district for six-year terms. A student
representative, elected annually by the student body, is a non-voting
member of the Board. The officers of the Board are chair, vice chair and
secretary, all of whom are elected by their peers.
safety and emergency preparedness
Emergency Information - The JJC Campus Police Department is a fully sworn, armed and authorized police department.
Officers receive training on active shooter situations and lockdowns, as
well as room evacuations/clearing drills. The college has an all-hazards
emergency response plan and a plan that corresponds with the National
Incident Management System, established by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security.
Emergency Closings - In the event of severe weather or other
situations that may pose a threat to the safety or welfare of students or
staff, classes may be cancelled and/or the college may be closed. When
classes are cancelled or the college is closed due to weather or other situations, the college uses an emergency notification system to communicate
with students, faculty and staff.
Methods of communication may include: e-mail, web, phone/text
messaging, and/or local media outlets. More information is available at
www.jjc.edu/about/emergency-info.
SPECIALIZED ACCREDITATION - Specialized accreditation
refers to programmatic accreditation. Joliet Junior College receives
specialized accreditation from the following agencies:
• American Culinary Federation
• Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs
• National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation
• National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission
• National Association of Schools of Music
• American Veterinary Medical Association (approved as a
program for educating veterinary technicians)

TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS
Transcripts can be requested online, by toll-free number, in person,
or by mail providing all their financial obligations are fulfilled. There is
a charge for each transcript requested.
Validation of student demographic records is mandatory to request an
online transcript. If the criteria are not fully met, an e-mail authorization
form is sent to the student for written signature to be faxed to the online
provider. To order your official or unofficial transcript online visit www.
jjc.edu/info/request-transcripts.
Transcripts can also be requested in person at Romeoville Campus.
The transcript is processed and mailed from the transcript office at Main
Campus. If a student wishes to have someone else pick up their transcript,
he/she must request the transcript in writing authorizing the person to
pick up the transcript for him/her. The person picking up the transcript
must show a photo ID.
When requesting records prior to 1976, the Records Office needs
36 hours to locate the appropriate microfilm and process the transcript.
MILITARY PERSONNEL CALLED FOR ACTIVE DUTY - Any
student called up for active military duty during the semester will be
offered the following options:
1.) If the semester is near completion, the student and faculty members
may discuss possible methods for the student to earn the credit from the
class(es). Included in this discussion might be time extended; working
on an incomplete grade status; writing of papers or other such activities;
and other methods that are suitable for determination of a final grade.
Whatever method is determined to be the best option for the course will
be the course of action to be taken. Students may not come back after
the fact to ask for another method of completion. The faculty member(s)
must report the method chosen to the department chair, the registrar, and
the vice president of academic affairs.
2.) If the faculty member(s) deem that the best solution is to take
a withdrawal from the classes, the student may withdraw and receive
a refund of tuition and fees for the impacted course(s). The faculty
member(s) must report this recommendation on the add/drop form and
notify the department chair and the registrar of the decision. The refund
will be directed to the individual or agency that paid the tuition and fees
for the semester. (If the Illinois Veterans Grant paid, the refund will be
directed to IVG.)
To qualify for the option listed, the student must present a copy of
Acceptance of Transfer credit – Any student who wishes
to have transcripts from other colleges/universities evaluated for credit
at JJC must submit an official transcript from each college/university
attended. To ensure an evaluation is performed, the student must complete a transcript evaluation request form available on the Registration
and Records Web site under the Transcript Evaluation link at www.jjc.

ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION
FOR STUDENTS
The Registration and Records Office issues an enrollment verification letter, bearing the registrar’s seal, to verify academic record information to insurance companies or other student benefit organizations
or programs. Academic record information is available for verification
of prior and/or current enrollment and enrollment status.
The Registration and Records Office does not send enrollment
verifications via fax or e-mail. Each student is responsible for printing
the enrollment verifications letter off of eResources and bringing it to
the Registration and Records Office for verification (if needed). The
student will then be responsible for mailing their letter to the appropriate company/organization.

Chargebacks and Cooperative
Agreements
Incoming from other colleges - Residents of another
Illinois community college district that does not offer a program of study
available at Joliet Junior College should apply for a chargeback or cooperative agreement at their local community college. The chargeback
application must be made at least 30 days before the beginning of the
term. If the chargeback application is approved by the home district, the
student will be responsible for paying only the in-district tuition rate to
attend JJC. The in-district rate of tuition shall apply only to coursework
for currently approved programs of study between cooperating colleges
and those providing chargeback agreements. Students who change to
programs of study outside these existing agreements will be billed at the
out-of-district rate of tuition for all coursework.
OUTGOING TO OTHER COLLEGES - The college has arranged
cooperative agreements with neighboring community colleges to provide
opportunities for students to enroll in programs not offered at JJC at the
in-district tuition rates of the attending college. Under the provisions of
these cooperative agreements, students may not be approved to attend a
college for a program of study where a cooperative agreement has not
been arranged.
Joliet Junior College is part of a consortium of community colleges
that has overall cooperative agreements for any program that the home
community college does not offer. If a program is offered at any of
these cooperative colleges, a student will not be authorized to attend a
non-cooperating community college under a chargeback. The following
colleges are a part of this consortium:
Lists of the most common cooperative agreements from other community colleges not in this consortium can be found on the Joliet Junior
College Web site. Interested students can find the chargeback/cooperative
agreement request form on the JJC Web site as well.
Distance is not considered the basis for approving chargebacks/cooperative agreements. If a program is offered anywhere within District
525, it is judged to be available. The time of day, the day of the week, or
the particular semester or term of offering, the program or its component
parts are not considered as factors affecting approval.

• The student has completed all assignments, quizzes, exams, and
designated coursework at the times required by the instructor;
• The student presents an instructor-signed add/drop slip to the Registration and Records Office prior to the course midterm changing
from audit to credit (the form also will require the signature of the
registrar; and
• The student understands that the course cannot be changed back
to audit at any time.
A student working a minimum of 35 hours in the community college
district in which he/she would like to attend may be treated as an in-district
student. A letter from the employer may be required. As this may vary
in each college district, contact the admissions office of the attending
college to determine eligibility.
All requests for permission to attend another community college under a chargeback or cooperative agreement should be made at least 30
days prior to the required registration date. No chargeback/cooperative
agreement will be approved retroactively.
For more information about outgoing chargebacks and/or cooperative
agreements, contact the Academic Affairs Office at (815) 280-6629.
REPEATING COURSES - When a course is repeated, the grade
given at the end of the repeated course becomes the official grade. Both
grades will remain on the permanent record, but the second grade is used
to compute the GPA. Students are cautioned that some senior colleges/
universities average the two grades upon transfer.
ACADEMICS
GRADES
Grades are available to students at the end of each semester and are
entered on their permanent record. Final grade reports are available online
through eResources. Quality points are numerical values that indicate
the scholarship level of a letter grade and are accumulated on the basis
of the course credits earned. Quality points for each credit hour of the
following grades are:

INCOMPLETE GRADE - An incomplete (I) grade may be given
to a student who because of illness or other unique circumstances has
not been able to complete a course in the prescribed amount of time. A
student receiving an I grade from an instructor will have eight weeks into
the following semester (excluding summer) to complete the work. For
students receiving financial aid the I grade will be temporarily calculated
as an F grade until a final grade is assigned. For students who are not
receiving financial aid, the I grade will not be calculated in to the grade
point average until a final grade is assigned. If the work is not completed
within eight weeks from the assignment of the I grade, the I grade will be
changed to an F with the understanding that the instructor has the option
of issuing a change of grade at a later date.
A student who requests to complete the coursework must do the following:
1. Assume the responsibility of contacting the instructor. If the instructor grants the request, upon completion of the coursework,
the instructor will process a grade change through the Registration
and Records Office.
2. If unable to locate the instructor, the student must contact the
appropriate department chair.
3. In the event the department chair and student cannot resolve the
matter, the department chair will refer the student to the Final
Course Review Committee, which will have 30 days in which to
reach a decision. That decision shall be final and binding to all
parties.
4. Granting a request for additional time beyond the eight weeks is
at the discretion of the instructor.
TIME EXTENDED GRADES - Time extended (TE) grades may be
given in selected self-paced courses to students who will require more than
three weeks to complete the course requirements following the assignment
of the grade. Such students will be expected to re-enroll and pay tuition for
the course which they are seeking to complete. Normally, re-enrollment
to remove the TE grade should be in the semester immediately following the assignment of the grade; however, this is at the discretion of the
department. Students are encouraged to consult with their instructor for
a definite decision. Records of a student’s performance will be kept for
two years to facilitate re-enrollment of students who receive TE grades.
The TE will remain on the student’s transcript.

Note: No credit course may be taken on a pass/fail basis.
GRADE POINTS - Semester grade point averages (GPA) are computed
by multiplying the number of credits earned in a subject, times the number
of points the letter grade is worth. For example, an A in English 101,
which carries three credits, equals 12 quality points (A = four points); a
B would result in nine quality points, etc. To determine the GPA, add all
the quality points together and divide by the number of credits attempted.
If a student has a total of 44 quality points and attempted 14 credit hours,
his/her GPA would be 3.14. Grades are issued at the end of the semester
and are entered on the student’s permanent record.
AUDIT - A student who wishes to attend a class as an auditor may do
so by registering for the class and designating the enrollment as “audit” at
the time of registration. Enrollment as an auditor is permitted only after all
enrollment of credit has been honored. Full tuition and fees are assessed
for auditing. No grade will be assigned, but the course designated as an
audit (L) will appear on the student’s permanent record.
A student may change the course from an audit to grade-awarded credit
at any time prior to and up to the course midterm date if the following
criteria are met:
• The student will have complied with attendance, class participation, and all other syllabus requirements of the course;

who achieve above average grades in their studies by completing
six or more credit hours during the semester and earning a semester
GPA of 3.0-3.49.
Academic Standards Appeal Process:
Students who have been placed on probation, suspended, or dismissed
for not meeting the appropriate grade point average requirements may
appeal to the Academic Standards of Progress Appeal Committee.
The appeal committee shall review appeal requests on a case-by-case
basis and determine if a meeting with the student is warranted. Students
who choose to appeal must submit documentation to support extenuating
circumstances that resulted in failure to meet the appropriate grade point
average requirement. Examples of extenuating circumstances include:
death in the family, prolonged hospitalization or serious illness, and personal
crisis (such as divorce or illness of family members).
By the end of the third week following the issuance of the probation,
suspension or dismissal notification letters, the student must complete
and submit an academic standards appeal form and include appropriate
documentation of reason for appeal. The registrar will serve as the
committee facilitator to coordinate paperwork and committee meeting
schedules. The appeal committee will review the appeal form within 30
days from the issuance of the notification letters. The committee may
ask the student to attend a hearing.
The decision of the appeal committee is final.

STUDENT GRADE APPEAL PROCEDURE
The student has a right to a final course grade review if he/she feels the
instructor’s criteria for determining the final course grade has not been
fairly or accurately applied in the calculation of the final course grade.
17
ACADEMICS
Students should use the following procedure:
Step 1: The appeals procedure mandates that the student shall consult
with the instructor if there is a question concerning the calculation of a
final course grade given by the instructor. If the instructor is unavailable
within a three-week period, the student may pursue the appeal unilaterally
by contacting the department chair (see Step 2).
Step 2: The appeals process allows that by the end of the third week
following the issuance of the grade in question, the student shall contact
the responsible academic department chair and present to them a written
statement requesting appeal, including the reasons or basis for the appeal.
If the department chair is unavailable, the student should contact the vice
president for academic affairs who will be responsible for notifying the
department chair.
Upon receipt of the written statement, the department chair shall
schedule and conduct a meeting with the student, the instructor and the
vice president or his/her designee. At the meeting:
a. the student shall set forth his/her contentions;
b. the instructor shall have an opportunity to answer the concerns
presented by the student; and
c. the student and instructor shall be excused and the department
chair and the vice president shall consult and shall, within five
school days, make a written recommendation to the instructor. If
all three parties (instructor, department chair and vice president)
concur in the recommendation, the appeal procedure is exhausted
and the grade will stand or be changed as recommended.
Step 3: In the event that an agreement is not reached following the
procedures in Step 2, the matter will be referred immediately to a committee composed of five full-time faculty members to be elected by the
faculty at the first fall faculty meeting.
The faculty committee shall schedule a hearing to be conducted in the
same manner as the meeting described in Step 2. The decision of the committee shall be made by majority vote within 30 days after the hearing.
The decision of the committee shall be final and binding to all parties.

The requirements for graduation at Joliet Junior College are those specified in the official college catalog at the time a student enrolls. Unless a
student interrupts his/her enrollment for more than three consecutive years,
he/she may elect to abide by the graduation requirements specified in any
later catalog. If the student does interrupt his/her enrollment by more than
three years, he/she will be subject to the requirements stated in the current
catalog at the time of initial re-enrollment. Again, a student may elect to
abide by the graduation requirements set forth in any subsequent catalog.
To be awarded an associate degree at Joliet Junior College, each student
must meet the following requirements:
1.Satisfy all admission requirements.
2.Complete the courses required to earn the chosen degree, including the
completion of a minimum of 64 semester hours of credit. Students who
are transferring in course credits from other colleges and universities
must complete a minimum of 64 semester hours of credit, of which
either the last 15 semester hours or a total of 30 semester hours is
applicable towards the degree and must be earned within a two year
period upon enrolling at JJC. Proficiency test, CLEP and Advanced
Placement does not meet the academic residency requirement.
3.Earn a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0.
4.Discharge all financial obligations to the college; have no restrictions.

or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless?
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS - There are a number of federal
programs that can be determined by applying for aid by using the FAFSA
(Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
• Grants: Pell Grant eligibility is based on the expected family
contribution as indicated on the results of the aid application.
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is
awarded based on student need and availability. The Academic
Competitiveness Grant is awarded to those students who have had
the required high school preparation and need, as determined by
the FAFSA.
• Work: The Federal Work-Study program on campus is available to
students with aid eligibility. Students meeting the criteria for the
America Reads/America Counts program may work off campus
at elementary schools in the area. Students on academic probation
are not eligible for work study.
• Loans: Direct subsidized and direct unsubsidized loans are available to students. The federal direct plus loan may be used by parents
to assist dependent students with the cost of their education.
FINANCIAL AID STANDARDS OF PROGRESS - The Joliet
Junior College Financial Aid Standards of Progress policy statements
are designed to comply with Title IV Department of Education regulations. According to federal and state guidelines, students must maintain
satisfactory academic progress in order to be eligible to receive and
maintain financial assistance. Continuing students at JJC and students
who are transferring from other schools must meet all criteria of the
Financial Aid Standards of Progress policy each enrolled semester to be
eligible for financial aid. This policy applies to all students applying for
financial aid whether or not you received financial aid in the past. The
minimum standards of progress are as follows:
1. At the end of each semester, a student must have satisfactorily
completed 66.66 percent of cumulative attempted hours, including
transfer credits. Attempted hours include classes that a student
receives a grade of F (failed), W (withdrawal), I (incomplete), and
TE (time extended). If a student fails to meet the standards, he/she
will be placed on probation. During the probationary semester, a
student must attain the minimum standards or be terminated from
receiving financial aid until suitable progress is made. Also:
2. Students who have attempted credit hours that are in excess of
150 percent of their degree program’s required hours are immediately terminated and ineligible for Title IV aid. For example: for
a 64 credit hour associates degree, 96 credit hours attempted are
the maximum number of hours a student can take and maintain
eligibility for financial aid. Students will be evaluated at the end
of each semester to ensure progress toward a specified degree or
eligible certificate. Also:
3. A student must maintain an academic standing that is consistent
with the graduation requirements for his/her program and must
maintain a minimal grade point average as indicated in the following:
The state of Illinois also has assistance programs for students attending college. The Monetary Award Program and the Illinois Incentive for
Access Program are available for students in need.
Veterans who meet the Illinois residency requirements before and after
their military service may be eligible for the Illinois Veteran Grant. The
Financial Aid Office assists in processing other veteran grant programs.
Any student in good academic standing and enrolled in six or more
credits may apply for a student worker position on campus.
Student Status: Students are classified as dependent or independent
because federal student aid programs are based on the idea that students’
parents have the primary responsibility of paying for their children’s
education.
You are an independent student if you are able to answer yes to one
of the following:
• Are you at least 24 years old based on being born before January
1987?
• Are you married?
• Are you a graduate or professional student?
• Do you have children who receive more than half their support
from you?
• Do you have legal dependents who live with you and who receive
more than half their support from you?
• Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?
• Are you currently serving on active duty other than basic training?
• When you were age 13 or older, were both parents deceased, were
you in foster care or were you dependent/ward of the court?
• As of today, are you an emancipated minor as determined by a
court in your state of legal residence?
• As of today, are you in legal guardianship as determined by a court
in your state of legal residence?
• At any time on or after July 1, 2009, did your high school or school
district homeless liaison determine that you were an unaccompanied

student will receive aid for one semester and will be sent written notice
of his/her probationary status.
While on probation, if a student fails to comply with the standards
for a second consecutive semester, the student will be terminated from
financial aid. When terminated, a written notice of ineligibility will be
mailed to the student along with a copy of the appeal procedures. If
terminated, a student may appeal for reinstatement of his/her financial
aid (see procedures below).
DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES (0-LEVEL) are counted toward
the total number of hours permitted under financial aid.

REINSTATEMENT PROCEDURES:
1. A student must increase his/her GPA in accordance with the standards and must satisfactorily complete 66.66 percent of all credit
hours attempted, including those semesters in which the student
did not apply for and/or receive financial aid.
2. Students may appeal their termination status to the Standards of
Progress Appeal Committee in writing by the deadline noted in
his/her letter. The mitigating circumstances (i.e., personal, medical, death in the family, etc.) and documentation of these circumstances must be submitted with an appeal letter. The decision of
the Standards of Progress Appeal Committee will be final.
WITHDRAWAL AND RETURN OF FINANCIAL AID POLICY Any class/withdrawals, additions, and/or changes at any time during the
semester can affect students’ financial aid. Student should check with
the Financial Aid Office for further information before changing their
enrollment status.
Students not attending classes in which they have enrolled must be
withdrawn. It is the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from
his/her classes. The Registration and Records Office at the Main Campus
processes official withdrawals.
The Financial Aid Office is required to implement a Return of Title IV
Aid for students who withdraw to zero hours and/or receive all Fs due to
non-attendance after receiving Title IV aid. Title IV aid is comprised of
the following federal financial assistance programs: Pell Grant, Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Academic Competitiveness
Grant, and Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized and Plus loans. The return
formula is used to determine if the student and/or school must repay any
amount of federal assistance. The withdrawal date is used to calculate
aid eligibility. As a result of the return calculation, the student may owe
a balance to the college. The balance must be paid before the student
can register for future terms.
PROCEDURES FOR USE OF BENEFITS - It is each student’s
choice to use their Veterans Education Benefits each semester at JJC. After
registering, the student must notify the JJC Veterans’ Office to request
their benefits be processed. This can be done in person, by e-mail or by
phone. Failure to do so can result in delay of processing time for benefits.
MONTGOMERY/911 GI BILL RESTRICTIONS - The VA requires
students to transfer in all prior college credits to their current school
of attendance for evaluation. Students using MGIB must declare an
approved degree or certificate as their major and only classes that meet
the graduation requirements are certified for benefits. Additionally, if
a student withdraws, either officially or by cessation of attendance, this
must be reported to the VA and can result in an overpayment of benefits.
VETERANS’ EDUCATION BENEFITS - The JJC Veterans Program
was established in 1972. Its main objectives is to reach veterans, reservists/
guardsmen and dependents to make them aware of the educational benefits
available at JJC through the Illinois Veterans’ Grant, Illinois National
Guard Grant, MIA /POW Scholarship, and the Montgomery/911 GI Bill.
The office provides information on each program and assists students
with applying for and receiving their benefits. The term “veterans” refers
to students eligible for and receiving VA Education Benefits and/or state
of Illinois tuition assistance programs.
The office is located within the JJC Financial Aid Office, room J-1045.
For more information on veterans’ education benefits at JJC, visit the Veterans page on the JJC Web site, stop by the office, or call (815) 280-2623.
CAREER SERVICES
The Office of Career Services serves students and alumni by providing
resources to assist with career planning and employment needs.
Individualized career counseling appointments with professional
career counselors help students identify personal interests, work values,
skills, and personality traits that are valuable in the process of career
decision-making.
Assistance in identifying employers is available to students seeking job
shadowing, internship/co-op experiences or employment opportunities.
Support is provided to help in the job search process, including resume/
cover letter writing, interviewing skills, information on labor market

STUDENT SERVICES
has one semester to comply with the minimum academic standards of
progress listed above. If the student meets this, probation will be lifted.
If the student fails to comply with the set standards at the end of the
probationary semester, the student will be placed on termination status,
resulting in loss of eligibility for all state and federal benefits. A written
notice of the termination status is mailed to each student affected. This
notice includes a reminder of the on-campus support and counseling
services available, as well a copy of the Veterans Satisfactory Academic
Progress Policy.
When a student is placed on termination status, JJC is required to
notify the VA and suspend benefit certification until minimum standards
are reached. JJC is also not allowed to bill the state of Illinois for Illinois
Veterans Grant, Illinois National Guard Grant or MIA/POW Scholarship
for a student’s tuition until the termination status is lifted.
Termination from use of benefits does not, however, mean termination from JJC.
Appeal Procedure: Students may appeal their termination status
to the Standards of Progress Appeal Committee in writing. Forms are
available in the Financial Aid Office for the appeal process. Supporting
documentation must accompany the request.

college employment; (III) participation in activities sponsored by the college or organizations or groups related to the college, or (IV) opportunities
to benefit from other aspects of college life.
Students of JJC need not submit to sexual harassment. It is recommended
that victims do the following:
•
Try to stop the behavior by telling the offender clearly and
directly that it is unwelcome and offensive to you and that you
want it to stop at once.
•
Get help from others if you find it difficult to confront the
offender directly. Staff members in the Counseling Center or
Dean of Students Office can help you to analyze the situation
and determine the best way to say no.
•
Write down what happened, including time, place and the
names of possible witnesses.
•
Talk with others who may have been treated in a similar way.
Find out if they would be willing to support you in any action
you might take to get the behavior stopped.
•
Report the problem to the vice president of student development or the dean of students. You may report the problem at
any time after you believe that you are the victim of an act of
sexual harassment. Although doing so may be helpful, you
need not confront the alleged harasser, seek counseling or other
assistance, prepare a written statement, or identify witnesses
before reporting the problem to the vice president of student
development or the dean of students.
•
If you believe that the vice president of student development
committed an act of sexual harassment, you should report it
to the President’s Office, not to the vice president of student
development. Although JJC encourages students to take formal
action against sexual harassers, talking to college staff, including the vice president of student development or the dean of
students about harassment does not obligate you to file written
charges of sexual harassment or initiate a college investigation
of the charge.
Board policy forbids any retaliation against individuals who report sexual
harassment.

Transfer Programs
Joliet Junior College offers a wide range of transfer courses that are
designed to provide the first two years of education for students seeking
a baccalaureate degree from a four-year college or university. The key to
successful transfer is to plan early, seek advice from counselors/advisers
at both JJC and the prospective four-year institution, and use the most
updated information to ensure a smooth transition. Students who complete a prescribed set of courses from JJC can complete the Associate in
Arts (A.A.) degree, Associate in Science (A.S.) degree, or Associate of
Arts in Teaching Special Education (A.A.T.) degree prior to transfer to a
four-year institution. Note that the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.)
degree, although not primarily created for transfer, may be articulated
with specific four-year institutions to create a smooth transfer experience.
3. If you know the institution to which you plan to transfer and the
major program you plan to pursue, seek out the specific course
recommendations from that college/university. You will still follow
the transfer degree requirements at JJC, but you also may have
to select more carefully from the choices available. For example,
although there are many choices to fulfill your mathematics requirement, certain degree programs at certain universities will want
you to select specific courses from among the array of choices.
4. If you know which major you plan to pursue but are unsure about
which college or university you might attend after JJC, then you
should follow the major transfer recommendations listed on
itransfer.org. Also, the course applicability system, now u.select,
can help you to determine how specific courses will transfer for
specific majors at participating four-year universities and colleges.
Here are the steps to take that will make the transfer process easier.
1. Complete the requirements for either an Associate in Arts, an Associate in Science, or Associate of Arts in Teaching degree. The
course requirements for these three degrees are located in the next
few pages.
2. If you are not sure where you plan to transfer or what your intended major will be, follow the course requirements of the Illinois
Articulation Initiative (IAI). These requirements match the A.A.,
A.S., and A.A.T. degree program requirements at JJC. Familiarize
yourself with the IAI Web site (itransfer.org).

TRANSFER
5. Always use all of the resources available to you to make the best
possible decision. Seek out the help of a counselor or adviser. Use
itransfer.org. Seek advice from your intended college/university
(if you know that information), and finally use the vast array of
student services at JJC to help with career counseling, academic
advising and course selection, and tutorial services.
Associate in Arts Degree
General Education
The purpose of general education is to develop individuals who have
sensitivity for, and an understanding of, the world around them. A comprehensive general education will help students develop moral values,
critical thinking skills and investigative queries that will prepare them
well for a rapidly changing world. Generally educated students possess
the ability to communicate well, understand the scientific process and
scientific inquiry, reason mathematically, appreciate the diverse cultures
of the world, respect human history, and perceive the dynamics of human
ethics and morality. The transfer general education curriculum for the
Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate of Arts in Teaching
degrees at JJC encompasses the five categories of the IAI GECC (Illinois
Articulation Initiative General Education Core Curriculum). Courses
designated with an N indicate a course that will meet a non-Western
course requirement. Courses designated with a D indicate a course
that will meet a diversity requirement. To create a broader educational
background, students cannot use two courses with the same IAI number
to fulfill their general education requirement. An asterisk (*) indicates
that the course has a prerequisite or required placement score.
The following are JJC’s general education outcomes:
• Students will demonstrate organized and coherent communication,
both oral and written.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to accurately apply mathematical methods and techniques in various applications such as
applied sciences, theoretical mathematics, physics, natural sciences
and other applied sciences.
• Students will demonstrate an ability to understand the physical
world.
• Students will demonstrate competence in using academic technology including finding, evaluating and utilizing appropriate
information sources.
• Students will demonstrate an understanding of cultural issues.
• Students will demonstrate an ability to think critically and analytically.
The Associate in Arts degree is designed for students planning to pursue
a four-year degree program in majors like agriculture, anthropology, art,
business, communication/journalism, communication/public relations,
criminal justice, English, history, music, philosophy and religion, political science, psychology, sociology, speech communication and theater.
Students interested in elementary and early childhood education should
follow the A.A. program and use advising to select appropriate courses.
Students majoring in secondary education should follow an A.A. or A.S.
degree program and supplement it with appropriate education courses.
Students interested in special education should follow the A.A.T. program,
although there may be some colleges that will accept the A.A. program.
Associate in Science Degree
The Associate in Science degree is designed specifically for students
planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree in agriculture, biology, chemistry,
computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics. All pre-medical,
pre-dental, and pre-veterinary medicine degree programs follow the Associate in Science degree in either biology or chemistry.
Associate of Arts in Teaching Degree
The Associate of Arts in Teaching degree was designed as part of
the Illinois P-16 Collaborative to provide teachers in areas of high need.
There are four separate A.A.T. degrees emphasizing four different areas
of teaching concentration. Joliet Junior College offers only the A.A.T. in
special education. The degrees are aligned with the Illinois Professional
Teaching Standards and the National Council for the Accreditation of
Teacher Education Standards.
TRANSFER
Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI)
Joliet Junior College is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative
(IAI). The IAI is an agreement among Illinois colleges and universities to
make the transfer of credit as easy as possible. Currently, the IAI allows
for the smooth transfer of a set of courses, labeled the General Education Core Curriculum (GECC), among the more than 100 participating
public and private colleges and universities. Completion of the GECC at
any participating community college in Illinois guarantees that transferring students will be granted the equivalent credit for the entire general
education program of the receiving four-year college or university. In
some instances, the four-year college/university may have additional upper division (junior/senior) general education graduation requirements.
The approved general education requirements at JJC for the Associate
in Arts degree (37 credit hours - Categories I-V on page 38-39) and the
Associate in Science degree (41 credit hours - Categories I-V on page
38-39) will fulfill the IAI GECC. The A.A.T. degree is similar to the A.A.
If you transfer before completion of the IAI GECC at JJC, you will
have to satisfy the general education requirements of the transfer institution. Courses will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis to determine
transferability.
Transferring to another institution is a complex process. In order to
understand the process of course transferability, students should use two
sources of data. First, students should consult www.itransfer.org for specific
information about the GECC requirements and certain academic majors.
Second, students should have a meeting with a JJC counselor or adviser
to seek out information on how courses will be evaluated when transferring to another institution. Once a student narrows down the choices of
transfer institutions, he or she should consider how these courses will fit
with future degree requirements. While the approved IAI GECC allows
for completion of the transfer institutions’ lower level general education
requirements, specific course selections in general education, the major
and electives can enhance the transfer process.
Category I –
Communication
Communication is the process of exchanging ideas and expressing
one’s self in writing and speech. The complexities of today’s careers
and modern life demand that individuals have acquired mastery of the
basic skills in both of these areas. Completing all three courses listed
below satisfies the general education core requirement.
ENG 101*
Rhetoric (C1 900)
ENG 102*
Rhetoric (C1 901R)
SPCH 101 Principles of Speech (C2 900)
Category II Social and Behavioral Sciences
The study of social and behavioral sciences offers students an opportunity to gain insights into the complexities of humans. The social
and behavioral sciences prepare students to analyze social, political,
cultural, historical and economic institutions throughout the world. Students will develop an appreciation for human behavior and their place
in their society and the world. In order to satisfy the requirements of this
category, students must complete three courses from at least two subject
areas. Students may not count both GEOG 102 and GEOG 106.

Category IV Physical and Life Sciences
The study of science will enable students to develop an understanding
of the methods of scientific inquiry, familiarize them with selected scientific principles from both the physical and life sciences, and enable them
to make informed decisions about personal and social issues related to
science. The study of science will enable students to gain an appreciation
for the formation and testing of hypotheses and drawing conclusions from
observed data. Category IV requires students to complete seven to eight
credit hours with one course from the life sciences and one course from
the physical sciences. For the Associate in Arts and the Associate of Arts
in Teaching degree at JJC, students must complete at least one laboratory science within their seven to eight credit hours. For the Associate
in Science degree, students must complete a laboratory science in both
the life and physical sciences areas. Students may not count both BIO
104 and BIO 151. Students may not count both CHEM 101 and CHEM

The study of the humanities and fine arts focuses students on what it
means to be a human and the basic questions that confront all humans
in their lives. Issues of beauty, courage, love, truth, justice, and morality
are examined as intellectual and cultural expressions through the study of
literature, language, philosophy, history and the creative and performing
arts. Courses in this category reflect critical thinking through comparative
writing and critical oral discussion. This category will expose students
to the basic questions and substance of the humanities and fine arts and
the methods used to approach these questions. Category III requires that
students complete one course from the humanities grouping, one course
from the fine arts grouping, and one additional course from either grouping. A non-western literature course is highly recommended for those in
the A.A.T. in Special Education degree program. Students may not count
both FRCH 104 and SPAN 104. Students may not count both ART 116
and ART 117. Students may not count both MUS 102 and MUS 103.

I. TRANSFER DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Associate of Arts in Teaching
Special Education (A.A.T. SP.ED.) Degree
The Social and Behavioral Sciences Department offers various education courses so that students can begin their program of study to become
a teacher, but it offers an Associate of Arts in Teaching in Special Education (A.A.T. SP.ED.) degree for those students who want to transfer into
a special education teacher program at a four-year college or university.
The A.A.T. SP.ED. degree transfers as a package, but students should
work with the education advisers to make sure that their program of study
fits with the requirements of the transfer institution.
Students are admitted into the A.A.T. SP.ED. in both fall and spring
semesters and can begin their coursework in education before applying to
the program as long as they meet necessary prerequisites. The following
is the admission procedure for the A.A.T. SP.ED. degree.
1. All students must meet the following prerequisites prior to application:
• Complete the online admissions application for JJC.
PDF and paper versions are also available.
• Send a copy of high school or GED transcripts to the JJC
Admissions Office, Room J-1005.
• Take the COMPASS placement test.
• If indicated as necessary by the placement exam, a candidate
must complete all required developmental courses with a C
or better.
• Attend a special A.A.T. orientation session online. At this
orientation session, the candidate will be assigned an education adviser through the JJC Counseling Department or by
the education advisers.
2. Each semester, all A.A.T. SP.ED. candidates are required to receive
academic advising/counseling from a JJC counselor and/or adviser.
At-risk students are identified and monitored so that tutoring and
other support systems can be made available if required. Records
of student field experiences and service experiences are documented
and maintained through electronic portfolios, which the student
will use to demonstrate achieved learning and skills when they
transfer.
3. To facilitate transfer into competitive teacher education programs,
students will be required to achieve a GPA of 2.5 or higher to
graduate with an A.A.T. SP.ED. Because some baccalaureate
degree teacher education programs require a GPA higher than
2.5, candidates will be advised to determine the GPA required by
their chosen transfer institution.
4. A fingerprint background check is required of all teacher education candidates prior to beginning their field experiences. All
applicants must be 18 years of age or older to be fingerprinted.
During orientation, students will be informed of the process and
provided with the required forms. No observers may be allowed in
a K-12 school or other regulated setting unless they have passed a
background check. For additional information or forms, candidates
should contact an education adviser.
5. Candidates must successfully pass the Illinois Test of Basic Skills
(ITBS) to be granted an A.A.T. SP.ED. degree. Candidates will
be advised to take the ITBS after completing their English and
math courses, ideally before the end of a successful third semester.
ITBS registration bulletins and reference materials are available on the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department bulletin
board, J-Building, fourth floor. Materials with online resources,
workshops, and remedial assistance are available to all teacher
education candidates.

Articulation Agreements
Joliet Junior College has established a number of individual agreements with various universities to facilitate transfer. These articulation
agreements may be in the form of a dual admission agreement, a 2 + 2
agreement, or a unified agreement, but by whichever name it is called,
the agreement indicates a curriculum that students will take in the first
two years to be accepted for transfer. Of course, this is a benefit to the
student who will make a smooth, seamless transition from the two-year
community college to the university. Particularly for curriculum in the
career and technical areas, it is important to review these articulation
agreements if students plan to transfer rather than to enter the workforce
upon completion of their degree. The following table lists some of the
universities with which JJC has articulation agreements and the applicable
majors in the career and technical areas. Students should check with
individual departments at JJC to find out more information about what
agreements may be in place for a particular major. These articulation
agreements indicate a particular major that students can begin at JJC (the
courses to take are indicated in the agreement) and transfer into that major.
Also, as part of the articulation agreement, the courses students will take
as a junior and senior at the transfer college are indicated.

TRANSFER
Illinois Articulation Initiative Majors
Joliet Junior College participates in the IAI majors panels for the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees to help students transfer
major courses to an Illinois college or university that participates in IAI.
Transferability of major courses is still dependent upon the transfer
institution accepting the courses as major courses. An updated list of
courses is available at www.itransfer.org/iai/majors and www.itransfer.
org/iai/articulationTables. Students should also check the transferability
of courses through u.select (formerly known as CAS), which can be found
at www.itransfer.org/uselect. Always consult the four-year college or
university to which you plan to transfer and work with a counselor or an
adviser at JJC. Note that students do not graduate with a transfer major
from a community college but rather the community college prepares
students to have the flexibility to transfer and to choose a major from a
number of different areas. Students must be responsible to seek information to make good curriculum choices. Students should recognize that,
even though they may be admitted to a four-year transfer institution, they
may need to meet that institution’s separate requirements to be admitted
into a particular major.

Business - Business programs at community colleges and bachelor’s
degree schools include courses and majors in general business, accounting,
finance, marketing and management. The following recommendations
apply to programs in all of these fields. Community and junior college
students are strongly encouraged to complete an Associate in Arts (A.A.)
or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree prior to transfer. Further, students
should consult closely with an adviser early in their programs if they
intend to transfer as juniors into a bachelor’s degree program.
Biological Sciences - Baccalaureate biological science
programs are diverse. Some programs emphasize cell and molecular
biology, whereas others emphasize organismal, ecological and evolutionary biology. Research universities offer specific programs of study,
optional tracks or specializations within biology. Students should decide
the direction or specialization within the Biological Sciences major as
early as possible, preferably by the beginning of the sophomore year.
Community and junior college students are strongly encouraged to complete an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree prior to transfer. The advice
of both community college and university biology faculty members is
encouraged prior to selection of biology elective courses. To transfer as
a junior into a baccalaureate biological sciences program, students must
complete a minimum of 60 semester credits, including all of the prerequisite science courses listed. For maximum transferability, students are
encouraged to complete all general education, supporting science, and
biology core courses listed.
Students are advised to complete the entire two- or three-course introductory biological sciences sequence at one school before transferring.
Students who complete only one course may have to repeat that course,
since material may be arranged differently by another institution.
The following list of courses is designed for students choosing to begin
their college career at one Illinois school and later transfer to another,
and if they want to make sure that courses they take will count toward
a degree at the new school.

Chemistry - Bachelor’s programs in chemistry are built on an
in-depth foundation of sequential coursework in science and math, while
upper-division coursework provides the preparation necessary for graduate
studies and/or work in industry. Multiple tracks are often available. For
example, some institutions offer a specialty in biochemistry or certification for high school teaching. To transfer as a junior into a bachelor’s
chemistry program, students must complete a minimum of 60 semester
credits, including all of the essential prerequisite courses below. Students
should be aware that because of differences among schools in the number
of credits for which various courses are offered and the possible need
for prerequisite courses, it may be difficult to complete an Associate
in Science degree without taking more credits than will be accepted in
transfer. Students planning on a chemistry major should select courses
in consultation with an adviser.
A grade of C or better may be required for chemistry, mathematics,
and engineering science courses to transfer.
Criminal Justice - Community and junior college students interested in completing bachelor’s degrees in Criminal Justice and related
majors are strongly encouraged to complete an Associate in Arts (A.A.)
or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree prior to transfer. To transfer into
an approved bachelor’s degree program in Criminal Justice as juniors,
students need to complete a minimum of 60 semester credits (up to a
maximum of 64 semester credits). Since admission is competitive, however, completion of these courses alone does not guarantee admission.
These courses will be accepted in transfer by baccalaureate schools,
but they may or may not substitute for professional coursework required
for the major. The courses will be accepted as general electives if not
accepted as core or elective courses in the major. Students should be
knowledgeable in the use of computer, meaning, they must be able to
negotiate an operating system, access the Internet, and use word processing, database and spreadsheet software.
The following list of courses is designed for students choosing to begin
their college career at one Illinois school and later transfer to another.

Computer Science: Technical - Bachelor’s degree
programs in computer science encompass two distinct emphases: an
information systems (or business) emphasis and a technical emphasis.
While either emphasis will prepare a student for a computing career, there
are important differences in the context of the work to be performed, the
types of problems to be solved, and the types of systems to be designed
and managed. For both emphases, starting positions include such titles
as programmer, programmer-analyst, and network analyst.
The technical track focuses on algorithms, theoretical foundations of
computer science, and development of software. A strong foundation in
mathematics and science is needed for this emphasis. Graduates of this
emphasis will be prepared to work for a variety of companies including those that have a software, engineering, scientific, or mathematical
focus. Be sure to see a computer science adviser to select the appropriate
emphasis for you.
Baccalaureate schools may have multiple computing degree programs,
often located in different departments, which build on the recommendations for the computer science technical track. A technical track major is
typically found in a department named computer science or mathematics
and computer science, or within a college of engineering.
Some schools may not require all of the courses listed below. Consult
the baccalaureate schools you are considering and an adviser to select
the appropriate courses for you. The following list of courses is designed
for students choosing to begin their college career at one Illinois school
and later transfer to another.

performed, the types of problems to be solved, and the types of systems to
be designed and managed. For both emphases, starting positions include
such titles as programmer, programmer-analyst, and network analyst.
The information technology (or business) track focuses on the use of
computer technology and information management methods to solve business problems. This requires an understanding of both the organizational
context of the problem and the technologies, methodologies, and tools
available in a variety of business applications. Be sure to see a computer
science adviser to select the appropriate emphasis for you.
Baccalaureate schools may have multiple computing degree programs,

Engineering - Engineering programs are highly structured to
meet the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology standards
required for registration as a professional engineer. To transfer as a junior,
you must have 60 to 68 semester credits, including all of the prerequisite
courses listed. You are unlikely to earn the bachelor’s degree within two
more years after transfer if you enter with less than 68 semester credits.
You should decide on an engineering specialty and your preferred
transfer school by the beginning of your sophomore year since course
requirements vary by specialty and by school. Be sure to select your
courses in consultation with an Engineering adviser. A grade of C or
better may be required for physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering science courses to transfer. A similar policy may exist for general
education courses. The student is advised to check directly with his/her
preferred transfer school.
The following list of courses is designed for you if you choose to begin
your college career at one Illinois school and later transfer to another, and
if you want to make sure that the courses you take will count toward an
Engineering degree at your new school. Remember to consult with your
academic adviser early and often in your academic career.
English - Bachelor’s degree programs in English generally emphasize the study of literature and literary criticism. Some universities
also offer specializations in creative or technical writing and/or programs
to prepare students for certification as a high school English teacher.
Community and junior college students seeking a bachelor’s degree in
English are strongly encouraged to complete an Associate in Arts (A.A.)
or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree prior to transfer. A minimum of 60
semester credits is required for transfer as a junior into a baccalaureate
English program. Since admission is competitive, completing the courses
recommended below does not by itself guarantee admission.

History - Students wanting to major in history may have a choice
of earning a B.A. or a B.S. degree, depending on the school they attend.
History majors normally pursue a B.A. degree, but students should consult their advisers on the differences between degrees. A history major
may also pursue a program leading to state certification as high school
(6-12) history teachers. To transfer as a junior, students must complete a
minimum of 60 semester credits. Community and junior college students
seeking a bachelor’s degree in history are strongly encouraged to complete
an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree before transferring.

Sociology - To transfer as a junior into a baccalaureate sociology
program, students must complete a minimum of 60 semester credits.
Community and junior college students are strongly encouraged to
complete an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree prior to
transfer. Freshmen and sophomores who plan to major in sociology are
encouraged to complete additional foundation courses (including courses
in the social and behavioral sciences) and mathematics. The number of
sociology courses should be minimized.
The following list of courses is designed for students choosing to begin
their college career at one Illinois school and later transfer to another.
Theatre Arts - To transfer into a bachelor’s degree program
in theatre arts as a junior, students need to complete a minimum of 60
semester credits. Community and junior college students are encouraged to complete an Associate in Arts degree prior to transfer. Since
admission is competitive, however, completion of these courses alone
does not guarantee admission. Students are encouraged to consult with
their transfer school regarding additional theatre courses. Consult a JJC
theatre adviser for additional information.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Joliet Junior College awards two types of certificates for satisfactory
completion of a prescribed curriculum intended to prepare an individual for
employment in a specific field. The Certificate of Achievement (C.A.C.)
requires successful completion of 30-50 semester hours. Within the 30-50
semester hours, many Certificates of Achievement require six or more
semester hours of general education from Groups I-IV of the A.A.S.
degree requirements. A minimum 2.0 grade point average is required in
the area of concentration.
The Certificate of Completion (C.C.O.) requires successful completion
of a prescribed curriculum of 4-29 semester hours and a minimum 2.0
grade point average in the area of concentration.
Specific requirements for various C.A.C.s and C.C.O.s may be found
in Chapter 7 of this catalog.
The Associate in General Studies (A.G.S.) degree is granted to students
who choose not to meet the more traditional requirements of other associate degree programs. Students may select from a variety of learning
experiences and/or explore specialized interests in greater depth. Students
are advised that the A.G.S. degree is not considered a transfer degree and
may or may not transfer, all or in part, to senior institutions.
To complete an A.G.S. degree, students must:
1. Complete a minimum of 64 earned semester hours. Note that
no “0” level courses may be used toward completion of the 64
semester hour minimum.
2. Complete a minimum of 15 earned semester hours in college
transfer courses and/or in one occupational area.
3. Successfully complete at least one course from five of the following seven areas: communications, humanities, social science,
math, science, health/physical education, and vocational specialty
courses.

BLUEPRINT READING
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION
Degree Requirements
According to national studies, there are at least 13 million children
under the age of six in some type of early childhood care and education
setting, and 24 million school-age children in some form of child care
outside of school time. In today’s demanding economy, more parents
are working than ever before, creating an ongoing need for more early
childhood care and education settings that are requiring qualified early
childhood professionals. If you are interested in teaching and working
with children from birth to eight years of age, a career in early childhood
education could be for you. The Child Development Career program
is designed to prepare students for the various career options in early
childhood care and education, including preparation for employment in
DCFS-licensed child care facilities.
Graduates from the Blueprint Reading basic certificate program
will have the opportunity to study a range of manufacturing-related
disciplines that will prepare the student for continuing employment in
a wide range of manufacturing-based positions. As new manufacturing
technologies are incorporated into the workplace, it will be necessary
for the worker to possess a more complete understanding of blueprint
reading. Job opportunities will exist in the fields of machine operation,
tool and die making, inspection, assembly, computer numerical control
(CNC) technology, industrial purchasing and procurement, welding,
and other jobs related to manufacturing. All of the classes required for

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The primary objective of the Criminal Justice Studies program is to
provide the student with a broad knowledge base in general education and
criminal justice designed to develop individual competency and analytical
thought process, as well as to facilitate the development of applied abilities
and skills within the field. Graduates will, based on degree or certificate
option selections, have excellent academic credentials for a number of
diversified, entry-level positions in addition to transfer acceptability to
a number of senior colleges and universities.
Many people have a limited perception of the various careers available
within the criminal justice field. Frequently, criminal justice careers are
only associated with uniformed law enforcement work. While uniformed
law enforcement officers may be the most visible professionals in criminal
justice, many other opportunities exist outside of police-related work.
Career opportunities (outside of law enforcement) in criminal justice
generally can be categorized into four major fields: courts and law,
corrections and human services, forensic science, and private security.
In these areas, a multitude of challenging occupations provide for an
enormous range of personal and career satisfaction. (Students interested
in law enforcement or police-related careers are encouraged to pursue
the college’s Law Enforcement program.)
Employment prospects for criminal justice appear favorable because
of the unfortunate fact that crime exists and continues to be one of our
major social problems, necessitating an increased concern for services
that ensure the safety of our society. Additionally, the criminal justice
field will continue to be affected by new advances in technology, adding
increased job opportunities for trained personnel who can apply their
technical skills and knowledge to crime prevention and detection. Qualified women and minorities, previously underrepresented in this field, can
expect to be actively recruited.

CAREER PROGRAM
The Criminal Justice Professional degree is designed to meet the
training objectives for employment in both the Criminal Justice and Law
Enforcement areas. This degree is more rigorous than the basic Criminal
Justice Studies degree. This degree also has the benefit of matching the
requirements of the Associate of Arts degree, therefore giving students
the added benefit of transferring to a four-year university to continue
their education.

* Students taking criminal justice and law enforcement courses including
the entry-level CRJ 110 and CRJ 100 are expected to have a proficient
level of writing and reading ability. It is highly recommended that students
who are required to take remedial English or reading coursework satisfy
those requirements prior to enrollment in those two entry-level courses.
SPECIAL PROGRAM NOTES: Many employers in the criminal
justice and law enforcement field may require employees to submit
to mandatory medical examinations, physical agility tests, personal
background checks, and drug testing as a condition to their hiring and
continuing employment. Certain physical impairments may bar affected
students from employment in many aspects of the criminal justice and
law enforcement profession. Questions or concerns regarding these
requirements should be directed to the coordinator of the Criminal Justice
Studies/Law Enforcement programs.

FIRE SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE
Career Program
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The Fire Science Technology program combines fire science theory
with a liberal arts education. The programs range from the introductory
level to the administrative officer level.
Graduates of the program have gone on to professional careers in fire
service, as well as within the areas of emergency medical services.
Firefighters work hard to prevent fires, save lives and teach the public
about emergency services. In recent fire service publications, the entrylevel salary for a career firefighter is approximately $45,000 and a fire
officer with a degree averaging about $65,000. Today’s firefighter fights
fewer fires than ever before, but the need has increased for educated fire
and EMS personnel.
Those in emergency services must be educated in the areas of fire science technology, hazardous materials, emergency medical services and
public education. We are seeing the need for educated fire personnel in
the areas of fire codes and fire suppression systems. Today’s fire service
brings about the opportunity to work not only as a professional or paid
on-call/volunteer, but also the chance to work in the insurance field, the
medical profession or as an investigator.

The Law Enforcement program is designed to serve both the educational and training needs of in-service officers and those intending
to pursue careers in policing at the municipal, county, state or federal
level of service. The combination of a strong general education core
and professional courses prepares students to transfer into a baccalaureate degree program or to enter the discipline as a police candidate. For
those already in the field, the broad-based, multi-disciplinary program
will enhance their professional knowledge and provide them with the
educational background demanded by today’s police service.
To provide students with an opportunity to find out what real police
work is all about, an internship, served in a local police agency, is a required part of the degree program. In addition, individualized advising
is available to guide students with course selection and career direction.

Nursing Program
The Nursing Education department offers two programs of study in
nursing. Students enrolled in NU500: Nursing (RN) earn an Associate
in Applied Science degree. Students enrolled in NU060: Nursing (PN)
earn a Certificate of Achievement.
Students are admitted into the Nursing program in both fall and spring
semesters. The following is the admission procedure for the nursing
program:
1. All students must meet the following prerequisites prior to
application:
• High school diploma or GED
• Application to the college
• COMPASS placement test and required developmental courses
in reading, writing and math with a grade of “C” or better or
previous college credit in English and/or Math
• Completion of BIO 250 with a grade of “C” or better
• One year of high school chemistry or CHEM 100 with a grade
of “C” or better
• Minimum GPA of 2.0
2. Applications for the Nursing program will be accepted by the
Admissions office twice a year for the fall and the spring semester. Applications are to be submitted online. The application period
for the fall class will be February 1-15. The application period
for the spring class will be August 1-15. If a student is not admitted into the program after applying, another application must be
submitted for the following application period. No applications
will be kept on file after the start of the semester.
3. If a student has attended another college(s), transcripts must be
submitted for evaluation no later than December 1 for the February
application period and June 1 for the August application period.
The student must complete a Transcript Evaluation Form and
submit it to the Credentials office.
4. Because of the large volume of applicants for the Nursing program,
a ranking system will be used to determine admission. Each
eligible application will be given a number for anonymity by the
Admissions office and all demographic data will be removed. Applications will then be sent to the Nursing Admissions Committee. Applicants will be scored and ranked based on:
A. TEAS Composite Score
B. TEAS Reading Score
C. Calculated GPA based on grades for ENG 101; PSYC 101;
PSYC 215; HEAL 109, BIO 250; BIO 251 whether taken at JJC
or transferred in. If a class was taken twice, the highest grade will
be used to calculate the GPA. If a student has “clepped” out of a
class (using the College Level Examination Program - CLEP-test),
the grade will be counted as a “C”. If less than 12 credit hours of
college courses completed, the high school GPA will be used.
D. Number of pre-requisite/general education classes completed
(ENG 101; PSYC 101; PSYC 215; HEAL 109; BIO 250; BIO
251)
E. In order to maximize the chance for success in the Nursing
program, it is highly encouraged that students take the above
courses before applying to the Nursing program. NURS 100 is
also strongly recommended for all nursing applicants, especially
those who did not place into ENG 101 or MATH 094 based on
COMPASS scores.
F. Admitting criteria is subject to change. It is the applicant’s
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Operators at a nuclear-powered generating facility are required to
obtain an operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
a branch of the federal government. Licensed operators assume responsibility for the safe and efficient operation of a nuclear reactor and
its auxiliaries as well as the turbine-generator and related auxiliaries.
This program is designed to provide the licensed applicant with
an adequate background in physics, theory, equipment technology,
and procedural and administrative programs necessary to successfully
complete the federal licensing examination.
NOTE: Students must receive prior approval from a participating
nuclear facility in order to enroll in this program.
