Joliet Junior College A Building (Administration, Library, Child Development)

"Great affordable school, and some really great professors here. However, prior to purchasing textbooks, always ALWAYS look online for cheaper. I made that mistake a couple of times. Thankfully they were great with returns…. But this can get expensive even as a Jr. college so do plan ahead regarding supplies and textbooks!"

"My daughter signed up for a summer course which was inaccurately described in their “course catalog”. She struggled with the course format of strictly online without any live/zoom instruction and everything being from the book. The “professor” was only able to meet twice a week for office hours which was not explained in the course summary. He dumped all the information and details 24 hours before the course started, well past the date where she could have asked for a refund. My daughter has text anxiety so she asked about the JJCs disability resources and accommodations- the “professor” had no clue, and sent her an email address to contact for their disability resource department… one individual who was out all summer with no alternative. Basically, anyone seeking accommodations for the summer semester was out of luck, with no one to help at all. When my daughter explained this to the “professor” he emailed her back saying “yeah, you probably shouldn’t have taken this course- it’s really for math majors only (we have the actual email). My daughter ended up dropping the course and asking for a refund due to these circumstances and was shut down within a week, as all these reasons weren’t legitimate to JJC- and once they decide, there’s no appealing. The “advisor” was completely indifferent to her experience because she was a visiting student taking a summer course. Didn’t care at all about my daughters experience or struggles due to the poor course description and only told her that she could drop and request a refund…. Completely emotionless, robotic response. So, don’t spend your money to take courses here. They don’t care about their true purpose of education, misrepresent their courses, have NO disability support or accommodation assistance in the summer, and only care about quickly cashing your check."

"I dropped 2 classes from JJC and asked for a refund, the lady I was speaking to had said she dropped my classes and my refund should be a check in the mail and arrive in no more than 10 business days…10 business days have gone by and I still haven’t gotten my refund. So I called and asked them what’s going on and the lady I was talking to said I was never put on the refund list and I would have to wait even longer for my refund to return. This is ridiculous service by the office staff and blatant lies on behalf of whoever told me I would get a refund. Why was it that hard to put me or anyone else on the list? While JJC itself a good school the office staff can use some work. Just my personal experience with them"

"I have been going to JJC part time for awhile. This is a great Jr College to attend. You meet some amazing people here. When I graduate I'm going to cry because Joliet Jr College spoils us. The Trio program is the best program to get into. The best decision I have made."

"I attended this school for a good amount of years. You can find some amazing, lovely teachers. For being located in Joliet, the campus is beautiful. They have a good variety of subjects/degrees/certificates. I think they recycle too which is great. This was a really great transition for me before going to a university. I really got the hang of college here. I learned a lot here. I am proud I went here. I would go here again. It felt like home to me. It's legit and accredited."
