I'm interested in applying to Jamestown Community College but I'm not entirely sure how the process works. Does anyone know what steps to take, and if there are any specific application deadlines I should be aware of?
To apply to Jamestown Community College (JCC), you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Online Application: JCC has a free online application. Fill out the application form with the required personal, educational, and program-specific information.
2. High School Transcripts: You'll need to ask your high school to send your official transcripts directly to the JCC admissions office. If you have taken any college-level courses, be sure to request transcripts from those institutions as well.
3. Standardized Test Scores (Optional): Submitting SAT or ACT scores is optional for most applicants but may be advisable, depending on your educational background and program of interest.
4. Placement Tests: After applying, you may need to take a series of short placement tests in reading, writing, and maths unless you are exempt based on your SAT/ACT scores or other criteria.
After you apply, you'll receive an admissions decision, then you will be guided through the steps of course registration, orientation, and getting set up for your semester at JCC.
As for application dates, JCC has rolling admissions, which means you can apply at any time during the year. However, it's recommended to apply a few months before the semester you plan to start, to make sure you have enough time to complete all necessary steps for registration and orientation. For instance, if you plan to start in the fall, aiming to apply in late spring or early summer would be appropriate. Just be sure to keep an eye on the deadline for the specific program you are interested in, as some may have specific deadlines.
Remember to confirm all these steps and any program-specific requirements directly on the college's website or with their admissions office to ensure accuracy.
