Jefferson Community College is a member of the State University of New York and is officially designated a full opportunity college. Admission to Jefferson is determined without regard to race, color, sex, religion, age, national origin, disability or sexual orientation of the applicant.

Admission Requirements

Admissions is open to any individual whose academic records, potential and personal qualifications indicate that he or she could successfully pursue one of the programs of study.

General Requirements

Admission to a program of study will be determined by individual academic preparation. Applicants must be a graduate of an accredited high school or have earned a general equivalency diploma (GED). Diplomas such as IEP and annotated are not valid documents unless the school certifies the student has met all requirements including successful completion of the New York State Regents competency tests.

Applicants who have not completed high school graduation requirements will be considered for admission based on your demonstrated Ability-to-Benefit from college level work. Your ability to benefit will be determined by scores on the College Placement Test (CPT). An Admissions Counselor will assist you with this process.

Students who are admitted but do not have a high school diploma must complete their general equivalency diploma (GED). The equipvalency diploma may be completed by completing the GED Exam or by earned credit (see the 24 Credit Hour Rule).

Home Schooled Students or those that have graduated from a non-accredited high school are welcome to continue their studies at Jefferson. In order to be eligible to enroll with matriculated status, you must provide one of the following:

Valid high school diploma or General Equivalency Diploma (GED) (anchor link to GED on separate page**)OR
