Jackson College uses JetStream for course registration and academic planning. This user-friendly system allows students to explore course options, plan their schedules, and track their progress toward graduation. To ensure success, all students are required to meet with their student success navigator each semester before registering for classes. Navigators provide guidance on course selection, long-term planning, and academic goals, helping students stay on track.

Course Waitlist Process

Waitlisting allows you to “wait in line” for an open seat in a full class. As soon as a spot becomes available, you’ll receive an email to your JC Student Email with your “Permission to Register” status. This eliminates the need to check constantly for available spots.

How to Add Yourself to a Waitlist

Log into JetStream, go to ‘Plan & Schedule,’ and click ‘Waitlist’ next to the course you’d like to join.

Managing Your Waitlist

To manage your waitlist, go to ‘Plan & Schedule’ under ‘Student Planning.’ You can remove yourself from the waitlist anytime by clicking ‘Drop waitlist.’

Registering from the Waitlist

If a seat becomes available, you’ll receive an email in your JC Student Email. You have 24 hours to register for the course via JetStream. If you don’t register within this time, the opportunity expires and you’ll need to join the waitlist again.

Important Notes

Waitlisting doesn’t guarantee enrollment.

Ensure your JC Student Email inbox is not full to receive waitlist notifications.

If you’re on multiple waitlists for the same course, you’ll be removed from other lists once you register.

If your schedule changes after you’ve been granted permission to register, you may not be able to enroll due to time conflicts or overloads.
