3 Easy Steps to Apply
Visit our Admissions page. Refer to the "Who Are You" section to learn about how you should approach our application.
After submitting an online application, print or save our confirmation page for your records.
Expect an acknowledgement email, sent to the email address you included on your application.
You are required to use your social security number to apply. This is the best and most effective way to identify you. This is especially important for processing and maintaining accurate educational records. Your social security number is restricted to internal college use. JJC cannot use your social security number to match your application with ACT or other test scores, financial aid or maintenance of your academic record.
You will only be allowed to submit ONE application per term. Additional attempts at submitting applications will be denied.
Do not use "None" or "N/A" (not applicable) in completing field information. For example: If you do not have a middle name, just leave that field blank.
Next Steps After Applying
After you submit your JJC application, there are a few more steps to complete. Take a look below to learn more.
Ask your high school to send us your official, sealed high school transcript or high school equivalency record (GED, HiSET, TASC). Transcripts can be sent to admissions@jjc.edu.
How to Submit Transcripts from a Previous College or University
To make sure that your credits from your former college transfer to JJC:
You must have your foreign transcript evaluated. JJC only accepts World Education Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) evaluations for review. Your evaluation must be translated to English (it can be a general evaluation). In place of foreign transcripts, students can choose to submit official transcripts showing they passed the U.S. GED test. Need help? Email admissions@jjc.edu.
It's possible you may have to take a placement test before being able to register for classes. View our Testing Services page for more information on placement testing, testing centers and testing resources.
