Jackson College is transitioning to a new student registration and planning software tool, JetStream. Students should meet with their student success navigator soon to learn more about JetStream. This is a user-friendly, visually appealing system that will help students to easily communicate with their navigator, aid in long-term planning and in tracking progress and ultimately help in student success.

All students will be required to meet with their navigator every semester prior to registration.
