We are standing inside the Science Resource Center located on the first floor of the CLB.
In the Science Resource Center students can come and get tutoring from teachers in classes
such as anatomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and geology, textbooks, study software and
plenty of other things for you to work on.
Now let's head upstairs.
Here on the second floor of CLB we have the Math Resource Center where students have access
to textbooks, instructional materials, tutors, a quiet room, and group study rooms.
Now that you are familiar with where you can get help with your math and science courses
here at Johnson County Community College, we can head over one building to see the many
resources in Billington Library.
This is JCCC's Billington Library, which serves students, faculty, and Johnson County residents.
On the first floor we have over 137,000 different types of books, audiovisual materials, newspapers,
journals, and magazines.
Now let's head upstairs to see what else we have to offer.
On the second floor of the library you'll find the Language Resource Center.
Here at the Language Resource Center, students can get free tutoring if they are enrolled
in American Sign Language class or any foreign language class including Chinese, French,
German, Hebrew, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish.
Just across the hall is one of our many computer labs on campus which allows students to use
computer equipment free of charge as long as it's for academics.
Now let's keep moving.
On the third floor of the library you'll find the Writing Center.
Here you can get personalized help with your writing assignments.
The Writing Center was created to assist students in reviewing, refreshing, and upgrading their
writing skills.
You can utilize this resource for any class that you're in, not just English.
Now let's head to OCB.
Next to the library is the OCB.
On the third floor of the OCB is the Academic Achievement Center.
The AAC is a great place for students to improve their abilities and to learn.
Not only can they help you with study skills, but they can also give you help in math and
non-math courses and help on computers.
Now let's finish our tour in the Student Center.
Now we are standing outside of the Student Center, which houses many available resources
to students.
Let's go inside and check it out.
On the first floor we have the JCCC bookstore which has JCCC logo items for sale, along
with course materials, supplies, textbooks, and more.
Next to the bookstore is the Cav Store, JCCC's convenience store on campus.
The convenience store allows for students to come get a cold drink or a quick snack.
They also have beauty and health supplies.
The first floor of the Student Center also houses the U.S. Bank branch for the convenience
of students complete with an ATM.
Behind me is the Student Welcome Desk where students who have paid and enrolled for classes
can get their photo ID taken.
The Student Welcome Desk also has the ability for students to come purchase tickets for
sporting events, movies, and other activities on campus.
The welcome desk also has information on the bus schedule and the campus map.
Just up these stairs you'll find the JCCC Food Court which offers a fresh salad bar,
breakfast bar, and a variety of entrée options ranging from pizza to sushi.
Just around the corner you'll find Java Jazz, an award-winning espresso and smoothie bar.
On the second floor you'll find the Student Success Center, which allows students to get
help with enrolling and to meet with a counselor.
Our Student Success advisers at the front desk can help you file through paperwork,
answer unanswered questions, and meet with a counselor.
The Counseling Center provides advising for prospective, former, and current students.
You can meet with a counselor by walk-in, appointment, quick question desk, e-mail,
or instant messaging.
The counselors are here to help choose courses for graduation and transferring goals.
If you're needing any more assistance with resources here at the college, they are here
to help.
If you are a student with a disability and need help in your courses, contact the Access
Services.
Access Services requires you to provide proof of your disability, but you maintain confidentiality
throughout.
If you are undecided on a major or looking for a job, the Career Development Center is
the place for you.
More than 60% of students who enter college are undecided on their major, and of those
who are, many will change their mind.
The Career Development Center offers many workshops when deciding a major, discovering
your strengths, job search resources, and assistance with cover letters and a résumé.
It is never too early to check them out.
The second floor is also home to the Financial Aid Department, which helps students navigate
through the process of applying for financial aid and receiving their loans, Pell Grants,
scholarships, and work-study programs.
On the third floor of the Student Center is the Testing Center, which provides a wide
variety to students such as administration of placement tests that allows students to
get enrolled in courses, as well as the administration of standardized tests such as the ACT and
the CLEP.
Some of the best advice we have for new students coming to Johnson County Community College
is to take full advantages of the resources here on campus and to seek help sooner rather
than later in the semester, and to always remember to keep your student ID on you so
you can have full access to every resource here on campus.
As you can see, there are many resources to help students succeed here at Johnson County
Community College.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to stop by or call the Student Center and
have a success advocate lead you in the right direction or refer you to the right resources
here on campus.
