JCCC enrolls over 1,300 immigrant and non-immigrant students each semester. These students bring rich diversity to our College and a global perspective to our classrooms by facilitating the understanding of foreign cultures.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, F-1 enrollment requirements and regulations are subject to change. The information on the website reflects ratios and requirements prior to COVID-19. It is imperative that current students check their JCCC student email for the most up-to-date information to ensure they are in compliance with F-1 regulations.
We welcome students to reach out to the IISS to verify enrollment changes and ratios:
