Pre-college Enrollment Program

Experience college while you are still in high school

The Pre-college Enrollment Program (PEP) grant at Jamestown Community College is open to all high school students, including homeschooled students. You can enroll in up to 11 credit hours at either the Jamestown or Cattaraugus County Campus locations, the North County Center in Dunkirk, or online.

As a PEP student, you can participate in both academic and extracurricular activities at the college. You'll have full library privileges, can attend special college events, and are welcome to join clubs and interest groups.
