You will need to take placement testing (see Step 6). If you have questions, visit our Placement Testing page. Please reference the testing webpage for hours and guidelines before you come to campus.
If you're in high school or are a recent high school graduate, ask your high school to email these records to admissions@jjc.edu or mail them to:
Attn: Admissions
1215 Houbolt Rd
Joliet, IL 60431
If you are still in high school, a current copy of your transcript is acceptable.
Students with Foreign Transcripts
JJC recommends sending your foreign transcripts in to be evaluated by the National Association of Credentials Evaluation Services (NACES) approved evaluator of your choice. If you have taken any high school courses, which may waive a college course requirement, or have earned college credit at a school abroad, our Registrar office will only accept a NACES report for evaluation. Current approved members can be found at www.naces.org. The evaluation MUST be a "Course by Course" evaluation translated into English.
Did you earn credit from another college or university, through Advanced Placement (AP) or through College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) credit?

Watch the New Student Presentation in MyJJC. It is offered in both English and Spanish, and can be watched from any device. This presentation will guide you through JJC's academic programs, support services, campus life and more.
Placement scores are mandatory for enrollment into English, math and other classes. If you are not exempt (see Step 2), then you are required to take a JJC placement exam.
Visit our Testing Services or Placement Testing websites for all information regarding placement testing, test center locations, hours of operation, testing guidelines, and much more. Please make sure to reference the Testing Services webpage for the most up to date hours and guidelines before you come to campus.

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