Once you've completed these courses, they will count toward your college degree and high school graduation requirements as well.

Your JJC student ID is also your JJC library card, gives you access to several on-campus computer labs, and some local business discounts as well. Your ID card is also accepted at JJC Testing Services, the iCampus Testing Center, food services, and the Bookstore.
