Soon, thousands of 天涯海角APP students will begin their journey as Cavaliers. Start your Spring semester off right. These quick tips can help ensure you鈥檙e set up for success!
1) Activate your stumail account
天涯海角APP provides every student with an email account — called "stumail." You’ll get important reminders, notices, and enrollment information from the College at this email address. First-time students must activate their stumail account through their acceptance email.
2) Get to know the many features of My天涯海角APP
When it comes to staying organized, My天涯海角APP is the place to go for:
- Enrolled course information
- Stumail access
- Important dates and deadlines
- Checking degree progress via DegreeCheck
Your class schedule is conveniently displayed in My天涯海角APP on the My Class Schedule card. There, you’ll also find a list of upcoming dates and deadlines. It’s important to make a note of drop dates, holidays, payment schedules, open enrollment times, and withdrawal dates to ensure you don’t miss a deadline. Go to my.jccc.edu to access your account. It’s that simple!
3) Manage your classes through Canvas
Canvas is the online learning management system that 天涯海角APP utilizes to support coursework. Professors use Canvas to post assignments, grades, class information, and syllabi. Familiarize yourself with each function because this is the platform you will use to submit work, participate in discussion boards, and take quizzes.
4) Identify classroom locations and parking lots
Navigating a campus as big as 天涯海角APP can feel like an endless maze, especially when you’re running late to class. It’s a good idea to find your way around before your first day of classes. Printed maps are available across campus for easy reference.
After you’ve enrolled in classes, sign up for a Find Your Class tour with a 天涯海角APP Cav Leader. They will show you where each of your classrooms is located and share favorite spots on campus for studying, snacking, and collaborating.
Finding a good parking spot is just as crucial as mapping out your classes. 天涯海角APP has more than 5,200 FREE parking spaces in lots and garages surrounding each building. We recommend getting to campus early to secure a spot.

5) Pinpoint campus study spaces and resources
Discover how focused and productive you can be in our designated study spaces on campus. Hallways in nearly every building have places for you to sit and work on homework. In addition, there are larger spaces around campus, like the CoLab and Library study rooms, that are perfect for group projects.
Did you know you can borrow a Chromebook, Microsoft Surface tablet, or Windows laptop to use while on campus? Your student ID card is all you need to check out a device from the Library or the CoLab.
