Returning Student

It has been one or more semesters since you last took a credit course at JCC:

  • If has been 5 or more years since you took a credit course at JCC, follow the “How to Apply” steps for Admission.
  • If it has been less than 5 years since you took a credit course at JCC, follow the steps below:

    1. Apply for Financial Aid, even if you are only taking one or two courses or you do not think you qualify.  There are numerous options for financial assistance.
    2. Review the JCC Programs of Study and make a note of the courses required to complete your desired program.  If you know what field you are interested in but not sure what program will help start you in that right direction, or you are unsure what program you want, an Advisor in the Advising, Career and Transfer Center (ACTC) can help you.
    3. Preview the class schedule  to get a general idea of the classes available to you
