SyntaxError --- Where?

I can't seem to figure out this error... It looks okay to me. When I copy and paste into the console log I get an error on line 8.

script.js 
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome student')
} else ( false ) {
  alert("Who are you?")
}

Colin;

You don't need to check for a Boolean value in the final else clause.
