Apply for Admission
We accept applications throughout the year – there is no fee or deadline, however, the earlier you complete your application, the sooner you can register for the classes that best fit your schedule.
Procedures and applications are different if you are not a United States citizen or if you are a high school junior or senior who wants to take college courses while still in high school. Additional information is also available if you are an active duty Soldier or military family member.

Applicants who have been dismissed from a college due to disciplinary reasons or convicted of a felony must complete a supplemental application and participate in a review process. The supplemental application is available upon request in the Admissions Office. JCC complies with the State University of New York Admission Policy for Ex-Offenders. Failure to disclose a felony conviction or disciplinary dismissal may result in expulsion from the College.
Personal Interviews: Personal interviews are not required, but are encouraged. During an interview with an admissions representative, you can review course requirements for your program of study, clarify the application process and determine which program best fits your future plans. Nursing program applicants must complete the Supplemental Nursing Application and are required to schedule a phone or face-to-face appointment with the Director of Admissions.
Need Help? Admissions staff is available during business hours to review applications and answer any processing questions. Students and counselors should feel free to call, email or stop by with questions or concerns.
What’s Next? After we receive your application, we will contact you. Once admitted, you be referred for an appointment with the Advising Center staff or an assigned faculty advisor to complete the course registration process and receive a CannonMail account, an official means of communication between you and the College.
