JOLIET — The Joliet Junior College City Center Campus will continue to operate virtually due to ongoing repairs from damage sustained during a microburst on Sunday, according to Katie Smith, communications and media manager. The building will remain closed to public access until further notice. All other JJC campuses will operate normally, Smith shared.

Students have been directed to check their iCampus accounts for instructions from faculty members. When JJC announces it will operate virtually, that means that college staff and services are available virtually through email, phone call and other communication channels. Department websites are the best source of information for virtual contact information, Smith noted.
