New, First-Time Students
 
Students who have not attended another college and who are entering JCC for the first time should follow these steps:
 
• Apply online 
• Request high school guidance office to forward an official copy of the student's transcript to the admissions office.
• Home-schooled students must complete the necessary documentation indicating completion of secondary level education as defined by state (see below for additional information).
• Students possessing a recognized equivalent of a high school diploma, such as a general educational development or GED certificate must submit appropriate documentation.
• Students should visit JCC to acquaint themselves further with JCC’s programs and facilities. Personal interviews are optional, unless requested by the admissions office.
Following notification of acceptance, students are informed of advisement and registration procedures that entering freshmen must complete prior to the start of classes.
