JCC is an open admission community college located in the southwestern part of New York state. The minimum requirements for admission are graduation from an approved secondary school, or possession of a high school equivalency diploma and acceptable scores on the American College Testing Assessment Tests. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT) are not required for admission. The admissions office uses a "rolling" admission decision process whereby decision letters are sent to applicants after their file folders are complete. There is no application deadline although students are encouraged to have their application process complete one week before classes begin.

Full-Time Degree Seeking Student
A student who wishes to enroll in courses on a full-time basis must complete the application process and be accepted into a degree or certificate program. A new full-time student is required to take the placement test. Contact the Counseling and Career Development Center at the Jamestown Campus, 716.338.1007, or the Cattaraugus Campus Counseling Center, 716.376.7559, to schedule a day and time to take this test. Certain students may qualify for an exemption from taking the placement test. A new full-time student will attend an Individual Student Advisement (ISA) session and then meet with an academic advisor to schedule and register for courses.

Part-Time Degree Seeking Student
A student who wishes to enroll in a course(s) on a part-time, degree seeking basis needs to complete the application process and be accepted into a degree or certificate program. Once accepted, the student can see a counselor at the Jamestown or Cattaraugus Campus counseling centers, if needed, to prepare a course schedule for the semester, or complete the registration forms in the back of the master schedule. The student can go directly to the registrar's office on the Jamestown Campus or the business office on the Cattaraugus County Campus to register for a course(s). The placement test applies here as it does for the full-time student.

Part-Time Non-degree Seeking Student
A student who wishes to enroll in a course(s) on a part-time basis, not seeking a degree or needing financial aid, can register for a course(s) using the registration forms in the back of the master schedule, or by going directly to the registrar's office in Jamestown or the business office at the Cattaraugus County Campus or the main office at the North County and Warren centers. JCC's master schedules can also be obtained in the registrar's office and counseling centers. Part-time students must take the placement test prior to enrolling in any course which has a reading or writing prerequisite. Certain students may qualify for an exemption from taking the placement test.
