2. You can earn certain degrees or certificates exclusively at some of JJC's locations.

At Romeoville, you can earn an associate of arts degree (among a few others) and at City Center, you can earn a culinary arts certificate or degree. Check to see if the degree or certificate you want can be earned exclusively at one of our extended campuses by contacting a JJC advisor.

3. JJC's Romeoville, City Center and Morris locations have all had renovations in the past two years.

To better service students, JJC opened its new City Center Campus building in January 2017, replacing its dated structure (formerly the Sheraton Motor Inn). Romeoville's new addition will open in fall 2017, a project that came about after Romeoville saw a 43 percent increase in students from 2005 to 2015. While the Morris Education Center didn't require any construction, it relocated to a bigger space - the old Shabbona Middle School building in fall 2016.

4. Looking for help? Student services are available at many of our extended campuses. 

The CIty Center Campus has its own branch of the JJC library. It also offers student-run restaurants, the Workforce Development office and the Department of Adult Education and Literacy. At Romeoville, students can meet with counselors and get information about financial aid. Romeoville also has its own branch of the JJC bookstore and a cafeteria. At the Morris Education Center, students can take placement tests and take advantage of a computer lab. For a full list of services, contact each campus individually.

5. Evening classes are available at most of our locations. Hybrid options are also available.

Evening classes are perfect for both adult students and traditional students who have full-time jobs (available in Frankfort, Morris and Romeoville). Students can also take hybrid classes, meaning a part of the class will take place on campus, and the other part will take place online. Check the class schedule to see if the classes you need are offered as evening or hybrid options.

7. JJC has a long history of extended campuses.

Before Main Campus was even thought of, JJC students were taking their college classes at Joliet Township High School. As the Main Campus underwent construction, students took classes in temporary buildings on site. JJC's first "official" extended campus was the City Center, which opened to students in fall 1980.
