New Student Orientation

Welcome and congratulations on your decision to attend Jackson State Community College!

All new and transfer degree-seeking students attending JSCC are required to complete a New Student Orientation. Our orientation is designed to get you off to a great start by providing practical knowledge and JSCC specific information that will help you succeed.  

For your convenience, we are offering our orientation in two formats. You can choose to attend in-person, or complete orientation online with no set meeting time.

  • In-Person: You will come to the campus you selected at the date and time posted on the sign-up page. You will then attend a 60-90 minute information session followed by class selection and registering for classes.
  • Online: The morning of your orientation you will receive an email via your personal email account. The email will contain all the steps to access the online information session portion of orientation. You will also be sent a list of classes and your Advising PIN to enable you to register for classes. At the end of the information session, you will be able to access help videos and written instructions on how to pick your classes from the college schedule as well as how to register.

    You will need to watch the orientation videos and refer to the instructions in order to register.

First You Will Need to Activate Netlogon Account

jWeb is the online portal that allows students to access online services and campus computers.  You will Plug into jWeb to register for classes, pay tuition, check your grades, and more!  Activation is required and you will need your campus ID # from your acceptance letter orientation invitation email in order to set-up your netlogon.  Once active, you can logon and get familiar with jWeb. See instructions below:

Is there anything else you can do before completing your online orientation? We are so glad you asked! To get a head start, you can go ahead and activate your netlogon and take our intake survey.

Intake Survey

Once you have signed up for orientation and activated your netlogon, the last thing you can do to get ahead before orientation is to complete the intake survey. It will likely take 5-10 minutes to complete. Use your netlogon and password to log in to the survey.
