I applied to Joliet Community College and am curious about how to keep track of my application's status. When should I expect to hear back from them after submission?
Every college has a slightly different timeline for reviewing applications and notifying students of decisions, and community colleges sometimes have rolling admissions, meaning they review applications as they come in.
Usually, after submitting an application, colleges provide a confirmation email with information about tracking the application's status. If you have received such an email from Joliet Community College, follow the instructions provided, which likely involve logging into a portal specific to the school.
If you haven't received any email or can't locate it, it's advisable to reach out to the admissions office directly. You can ask them about their procedure and timeframe for processing applications, and how you can go about checking your application status. Always remember to include your application ID (if you have it) or full name when communicating with them.
Don't worry if you don't hear back immediately. Reviewing applications can take some time, and it's normal to not hear back for a few weeks. However, if it has been a considerable amount of time, there's no harm in reaching out to the college to make sure everything is in order with your application. You've made a big step in applying, and it's perfectly natural to be anxious to hear back!
