var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

if (isAdmin === true) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent === true) {
    alert('Welcome student');
} else if (isStudent === false && isAdmin === false){
    alert ('Who are you?')
}

I change the if and else if statement as i think it makes it easier to understand when you first look at it :)

You could alternatively do

if (isAdmin === true) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent === true) {
    alert('Welcome student');
} else {
    alert ('Who are you?')
}
