<h3>Counselors</h3>There are two types of counselors at JTCC:
<h4>JTCC Academic Counselor</h4>This type of counselor is assigned to you after choosing an education program. They help guide you through the process.
<h4>JTCC Advising Counselor</h4>This type of counselor can help you with general questions about attending JTCC.

<h3>Student ID Card</h3>Yes, JTCC does have a student ID card. They can be created at Hamel Hall in Room 103, 1st floor, across from the bookstore.
The ID card is not required. It is good to have for places that offer student discounts or if you need an ID.

<h3>Student ID number</h3>
Your Student ID, sometimes referred to as your EmplID, can generally be found in your JTCC acceptance letter or in other additional JTCC information that has been mailed to you. You can also obtain this number at the Admissions and Records Office in the Administration Building.
Get [[Help]] finding out what your Student ID number is. Your EmplID number is just numbers and no letters.

[[Back]] to main menu.
<h3>Student Login</h3>Your Student Login is an identification number, made up of letters and numbers, that is used in logging into Blackboard. This allows you to register for classes, send emails, and check your assignments. It can generally be found in your JTCC acceptance letter or in other additional JTCC information that has been mailed to you.

''Success Center''
The Success Center is located in Eliades Hall, 2nd Floor.
<img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/successcenter1.jpg" alt="Success Center image" width="375">
The Center is here to help you succeed in college. If you are struggling with a new topic in your class, they can help you by tutoring. Appointments may be necessary so that the proper tutors are available.
''Please note'' there are no math modules.
Across the hall in Room E207 is the Writing Center. They help with writing papers, résumés, scholarship forms, and applications. No appointments are needed; you can just walk in.
Do ''not'' be afraid to ask for help. That is exactly why this center is here; to help you get through your years at JTCC.
For more information, check out this website: <a href="http://www.jtcc.edu/services/counseling-and-student-success-centers/" target="_blank">"http://www.jtcc.edu/services/counseling-and-student-success-centers/"</a>.

<h3>Testing Center</h3>The Testing Center is located in Eliades Hall, 1st Floor.
<img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/testingcentersign.jpg" alt="Testing Center image" width="375">
This is where you come to take placement tests or to take exams for your online classes.
[[How do I even begin?]]
<h3>Advising Counselor</h3>These counselors help with questions about being a new student, transferring into and out of JTCC, suspensions, and dual enrollment. They help enroll you in a program and work with you on a path of education that best suits your needs. They can help answer financial aid questions and all general questions about the college. As a new student, you would want to see an Advising Counselor if you are not yet enrolled in a program.
The Advising Center is located in the Administration Building, room B116. Behind the security desk is a hallway. Walk down the hall and take a left. The office is a few steps down and on the left.
<img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/advisecenter.jpg" alt="Advising Center image" width="325">
It is best to call or email ahead of time and set up an appointment. You can, however, just drop by. ''Just know'' you may be waiting a while, depending on how busy they are with appointments.
You can email <a href="mailto:counseling@jtcc.edu" target="_blank">counseling@jtcc.edu</a> to set up an appointment with an Advising Counselor.

[[Back]] to main menu.
<h3>Academic Counselor</h3>These counselors know the specifics of certain degrees and certificates. They work with students on choosing classes, answering questions about how to set up your schedule, applying for graduation, and how to navigate your journey within your program.
To find out who your specific academic counselor is, email <a href="mailto:counseling@jtcc.edu" target="_blank">counseling@jtcc.edu</a> or visit <a href="http://www.jtcc.edu/downloads/mytyler/Advisor.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.jtcc.edu/downloads/mytyler/Advisor.pdf</a>
These advisors are generally instructors in the program and can be hard to find at times due to a busy schedule.
It is best to check the instructor's office hours, then email the instructor to set up an appointment.
You can drop by during their office hours, but they may be busy with other student appointments.

<h3>Testing Center</h3>To access the Testing Center’s website, your instructor will usually provide a link for you on Blackboard. Otherwise, the link is in the Blackboard homepage as seen in the box below:
<img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/testing.jpg" alt="Testing Registration Page image" width="725">
[[Continue on, please.]]
<h3>Testing Center</h3>If your instructor wants you to use the Testing Center to take an exam, the first thing you should do is create a login account. This login information will allow you to sign up for your exam time slot. When it is time to sign up for a slot your instructor will let you know that the exam is available.
''Note:'' You usually cannot sign up for a time slot until the exam is made available, but this is not always the case.
Please note that this is not the exam itself, just the login information. Your exam is available through your Blackboard account. The Lab Assistants, at the Testing Center, will type in the access code for you to be able to take the exam. Sorry, no cheating by trying to take the exam at home.

<h3>Testing Center</h3>On the day of your exam, arrive quietly at the Testing Center, about 5 minutes before your scheduled time. ''Please note'' that you cannot be late for your scheduled time. Other students also have scheduled times and this will interfer with their exam. If you arrive late, you may have to reschedule (that is, of course, if there is another available time slot).
<h4>Bring with you:</h4><ol><li>Class number and instructor’s name, i.e. ART 263 Saccone, for signing in the sign-in book.</li><li>Picture ID, such as Driver's license or JTCC Student ID Card, to prove who you are.</li><li>Any materials the instructor permits during the exam. ''Note'' any materials not permitted will not be able to be used and will be taken away.</li><li>Blackboard login information, so you can actually take the exam.</li></ol>
<h4>When you arrive:</h4><ol><li>Walk in and close the door quietly due to others taking their exams.</li><li>Sign into the sign-in book.</li><li>Proceed to the window where one of the Lab Assistants will give you instructions for your test and assign you a computer or writing station.
''Note:'' If there is another student at the window, you will need to wait until a window is available or until one of the Lab Assistants motions you to the window.</li><li>You will be assigned to a computer. Once there, sign into your Blackboard account, and the Lab Assistant will type in the access code.<li>You are now ready for your exam.</li></ol>

I am finished with my exam, [[now what]]?
<h3>Testing Center</h3>When you are finished, log off of your Blackboard account on the computer. Be sure you log off, so another student doesn’t access your Blackboard account! Turn in papers that were used during the exam to the Lab Assistant.
Be sure you sign out in the sign-in book.
Hopefully, you did well on your test! <img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/smileface.jpg" alt="Smile Face image" width="30">

<h3>Computer Lab</h3>There is a computer lab in Eliades Hall, 2nd Floor, Room E217. This lab is open to students during open lab hours. There is a schedule on the window to the left of the door. These are Mac computers.
''Note:'' this lab is also used for classes and this is noted on the lab schedule.
There are also computers available for student use in the Library in Hamel Hall, 2nd Floor. These are Dell computers.
''Keep in mind'' if your class requires use of a computer, and you do not own one, these labs can be used. Your instructor may not accept, "I could not complete my assignment because I do not have a computer/laptop" as an excuse, since there are computers available for student use. Sorry. <img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/sadface.jpg" alt="Sad Face image" width="30">
The login in password information is located on the blackboard in room E217. This will allow you to use the JTCC internet.

<h3>Library</h3>The library is located in Hamel Hall, 2nd floor.
<img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/library.jpg" alt="Library Entrance image" width="375">
The library has books and computers for your use. To use the computer, just walk in and find an empty spot. You will need to sign in with your [[Student Login]] (the same number that you use to sign into Blackboard).
To check out a book, you would use your [[Student ID Card]]. There is a bar code on the back that is used. If you do not have a Student ID card, a key tag will be given to you to use.
See below for the hours.

<h3>Quad Areas</h3>Other than the student lounge located on the first floor in Hamel Hall, there are places outside where you can enjoy spending your time.
Located in these areas are tables for you to eat your lunch, meet friends, or to just enjoy the weather.
The Quad area begins between the Adminstration Building and Eliades Hall and extends to the area in front of Hamel Hall.

The area in front of Hamel Hall
A few steps down and at the end of a sidewalk, there is an area near the front of Eliades Hall. It sticks out a bit like a patio.
<img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/seating2.jpg" alt="Quad Area - Eliades Hall Area image" width="400">
So sit down and enjoy. This is so much better than being locked up in a building, where the windows are covered with blinds, unless, of course, it is raining or snowing. <img src="http://group2-twine.neocities.org/images/tongueface.jpg" alt="Face Sticking Out Tongue image" width="30">

We hope that this site has helped you feel a little better about attending the Midlothian Campus of John Tyler Community College. We added items that confused us during our first few days.

We hope you enjoy your time at JTCC, meet new friends, and hopefully have some fun.
Remember JTCC's "motto"...
