Music Mission:
The Joliet Junior College music unit is dedicated to producing well trained musicians capable of
succeeding in today’s diverse musical world. Whether a student’s interest is career-oriented or
one of self-enrichment, there is an educational opportunity to meet his or her needs. To

each year to introduce and educate students and audiences to music of different genres, stylistic
periods, and media.
Academic Advising:
The successful achievement of your educational and career goals requires continuous and
intelligent planning. Therefore, one of the first and most important appointments a music student

to formulate your goals, establish your schedules, and confirm transferability. Appointments can
be made by contacting Professor Nuccio at (815) 280-2569 or by e-mail at dnuccio@jjc.edu.

made by contacting Professor Nuccio at (815) 280-2569 or by e-mail at
dnuccio@jjc.edu. Students attending Group Registration are not exempt from

C.
Accreditation
Joliet Junior College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North
Central Association, one of six regional accrediting agencies in the United States.
Accreditation is a voluntary process whereby colleges and universities seek
accreditation status from a nongovernmental body. According to the Higher
Learning Commission Overview, “accreditation by the Commission and by other
nationally recognized agencies provides assurance to the public, in particular to
prospective students, that an organization has been found to meet the agency’s
12
clearly stated requirements and criteria and that there are reasonable grounds for
believing that it will continue to meet them.” While accreditation is a voluntary
process, colleges and universities that are not accredited are ineligible to receive
federal and often state funding. Accreditation status could also affect other quality
assurance processes, like state recognition or the transfer of credits.
Colleges and universities can elect to participate in one of three routes to gain
accreditation: the Standard Pathway, Open Pathway, or the Academic Quality
Improvement Program (AQIP). Since 2001, Joliet Junior College has participated in
the AQIP process. The goal of participation in AQIP is to infuse the principles and
benefits of continuous improvement into the culture of the institution. According to
the AQIP website, “with AQIP, an institution demonstrates it meets accreditation
standards and expectations through sequences of events that align with those
ongoing activities that characterize organizations striving to improve their
performance.”
More information about AQIP can be found online at www.aqip.org or at the Joliet
Junior College accreditation website: http://www.jjc.edu/about/collegeinfo/institutional-research/Pages/accreditations.aspx.

Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI)
Junior College is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI). The IAI is
an agreement among Illinois colleges and universities to make the transfer of credit
as easy as possible. Currently, the IAI allows for the smooth transfer of a set of
courses, labeled the General Education Core Curriculum (GECC), among the more
than 100 participating public and private colleges and universities. Completion of
the GECC at any participating community college in Illinois guarantees that
transferring students will be granted the equivalent credit for the entire general
education program of the receiving four-year college or university. In some
instances, the four-year college/university may have additional upper-division
(junior/senior) general education graduation requirements. The approved general
education requirements at JJC for the Associate in Arts degree (37 credit hours Categories I-V ) and the Associate in Science degree (41 credit hours - Categories IV ) will fulfill the IAI GECC. The A.A.T. degree is similar to the A.A.
If you transfer before completion of the IAI GECC at JJC, you will have to satisfy
the general education requirements of the transfer institution. Courses will be
evaluated on a course-by-course basis to determine transferability.
Transferring to another institution is a complex process. In order to understand the
process of course transferability, students should use two sources of data. First,
students should consult www.itransfer.org for specific information about the GECC
requirements and certain academic majors. Second, students should have a meeting
with a JJC counselor or adviser to seek out information on how courses will be
evaluated when transferring to another institution. Once a student narrows down the
choices of transfer institutions, he or she should consider how these courses will fit
with future degree requirements. While the approved IAI GECC allows for
completion of the transfer institutions’ lower level general education requirements,
specific course selections in general education, the major and electives can enhance
the transfer process.

I. Student Code of Conduct
All students at JJC are expected to demonstrate qualities of integrity, fairmindedness, honesty, civility, tolerance, and respect. These values are important to
the learning environment and are expected to be exhibited in the conduct of the
entire college community, both in and out of the classroom setting. JJC recognizes
the rights of its students guaranteed by the Constitutions of the United States and
the State of Illinois, which include a student’s rights within the institution to
freedom of speech, inquiry, assembly, peaceful pursuit of an education, and
reasonable use of services and facilities of the college.
In the interest of maintaining civility on campus and guaranteeing the broadest
range of freedom, students must comply with the college’s Student Code of
Conduct, which reasonably limits some activities and reasonably prohibits certain
behavior which could interfere with the classroom setting, the orderly operation of
the college, and the pursuit of the college’s goals and core values of Respect,
16
Integrity, Collaboration, Humor and Well-Being, Innovation and Quality. In
addition to the code, students must also recognize and comply with the standards of
classroom behavior as stated in their individual course syllabi. Further, students
must understand that acts of violence, threats of violence and theft are considered a
serious infringement upon the learning environment and will result in a college
suspension.
Each student is responsible for reading and complying with the Student Code of
Conduct and the Academic Honor Code, which are referenced in the college
catalog, student handbook, and as a separate publication through the offices of the
Dean of Students, Campus Police, Office of the Vice President of Student
Development, and online at www.jjc.edu/info/students.
The college further recognizes each student’s procedural right to due process, which
includes providing notice setting forth the alleged violation(s), and a speedy and fair
hearing and appeal process. Any member of the college community can initiate an
accusation of an alleged violation. If a student is accused and cited for an alleged
violation, he or she will receive notice of the alleged violation.

additional ensemble performance as recital credit regardless of the number
of performances presented by their ensemble.
* Performance in a student recital counts as student recital attendance.
* Three pre-approved outside performances may be used toward the required
number of recitals. The Music Coordinator will give these approvals.
* If a student is deficient in required performances attended, the Music
Coordinator may approve appropriate substitution.
* Completed recital cards must be turned in no later than the day of the
jury to your applied music teacher.

secretary and the music coordinator. This form must be received by the
secretary five work days prior to your performance. Students must plan
accordingly as late submissions may not be accepted.
Remember that copied music is illegal. A copy for a page turn or for
your pianist is permissible if you own a legal score. The stage manager
will take music on and off stage, allowing you to focus on your
performance.
4. Decorum
* Acknowledge the welcoming applause of the audience as you come on stage
with a simple bow or nod of the head. Realize that your performance begins
the moment you walk on to the stage and ends when you have left the stage,
not when you begin to play or sing.
*
If you are a wind or string performer, know where the pitch of the piano is
before you come on stage so that you can double check tuning quickly and
accurately.
*
Thank the audience with a simple bow or nod of the head when they
applaud at the conclusion of your performance. Remember to acknowledge
the contributions of your accompanist to your success.
*
All performers are to remain backstage for the entire recital. Family
and friends are not permitted backstage.
*
Following these procedures will help you to create a professional
atmosphere and to present a successful performance.
