Microcredentials

Short-term, focused learning

Jamestown Community College’s microcredentials are short, focused credentials where you can:

  • Build industry-specific skills that are included on your transcript to demonstrate proficiency
  • Earn credits that can stack into your certificate or degree
  • Have a short time commitment with most completed within one to two semesters

Credit microcredentials

Earn a credit microcredential while you complete your degree or certificate.

  1. Apply to JCC and choose your degree or certificate program.
  2. Work with your advisor to register for the microcredential courses.
  3. After you've completed the courses, contact the Registrar's Office to have it added to your record.
Credit Microcredentials & Financial Aid

Credit microcredentials cost the rate of JCC’s school-wide tuition and fees. Financial aid and other funding opportunities may be available, with different requirements. Contact Financial Aid & Billing with any questions.

  • If you want to earn a credit microcredential without registering for an academic program, register for the courses individually. After you've completed the courses, contact the Registrar's Office to have it added to your record.
  • If you are not registered for an academic program, you may not be eligible for financial aid.

Workforce microcredentials

Earn a workforce microcredential to focus on career training, without having to pursue a degree or certificate.

  • Register through JCC's Workforce Development.
  • Workforce microcredentials have their own cost and financial details.
