I'm considering applying to Johnson County Community College. Can anyone share what the application is like? Are there specific documents or steps I should be aware of?
Johnson County Community College (JCCC) has a straightforward application process. First, you'll need to fill out the online application.
The application is pretty basic and will ask for your personal information, educational history, and intended major. Ensure you have this information readily available before you start the application.
Secondly, transcripts are required. You'll need to submit your high school transcript or GED scores. If you've previously attended other colleges, you'll need to supply official transcripts from those as well.
JCCC uses placement tests to assess students' readiness for college-level coursework in subjects like English and math. These tests are typically used to assess whether you need to take remedial classes in any subject areas before you can start your chosen major's coursework. However, if you're transferring in with college-level coursework or a certain ACT/SAT score, you may be exempt from certain placement tests.
You'll also need to complete the application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), even if you don't expect to qualify for grants. JCCC offers a variety of scholarships to eligible students, some of which require that you've completed the FAFSA in order to qualify.
Next, you'll choose your courses and register for them. It's a good idea to meet with an academic advisor to help you map out appropriate coursework for your intended major or study plan.
Lastly, don’t forget about payment. Once registered, you'll need to arrange for tuition payment. JCCC has a variety of payment options, including tuition payment plans that allow you to spread out the cost of your education over the course of the semester.
Remember that each step is an important part of the process, and JCCC has staff available to help you navigate each one, so don't hesitate to reach out if you're unsure about anything! Good luck with your application.
