ACADEMIC & TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
An applicant must submit the following to the Admissions AND TECHNICAL PROGRAMS and Records Office:
1. A completed application for admission which is provided by the Admissions and Records Office.
2. A final transcript of high school work. A transfer student must submit an official transcript from each college attended. Acceptable General Education Development (GED) scores must be provided when applicable.
3. Official scores on the American College Test (ACT). NOTE: Technical applicants who do not have current ACT scores on file must take the Test of Basic Education (TABE) and/or Accuplacer before being admitted. The TABE score does not replace the ACT requirement.
All academic and technical applicants must meet one of the following conditions:
1. Graduation from an accredited high school. Any high school graduate with a standard high school diploma is eligible for enrollment in an academic or technical program; however, some programs require a specific ACT score. Students enrolling with an ACT score below 16, or equivalent, will be enrolled on a probationary status during the first semester, except in those programs that require a specific ACT score. The probationary status will be evaluated based on the students’ academic performance. Certificates of attendance, Special Education Certificates and/or the Occupational Diplomas are not acceptable for admission into academic or technical programs.
2. Presentation of an official transcript indicating a minimum of 19 academic units from an accredited secondary school. Acceptable units are: 3 English, 3 mathematics, 3 social sciences, 2 laboratory sciences and 8 other major units.
3. General Education Development Test. An official copy of acceptable GED scores must be
presented.
4. Transfer. Students who wish to attend Jones Junior College after attending another accredited college must meet the same general requirements as entering freshmen. Applicants
must be eligible to return in good standing to the college last attended. Applicants who have been suspended from another institution must meet with the Jones Junior College Admissions Committee. Credit earned from a non-regionally accredited institution will not be accepted.
5. Graduation from a non-accredited high school. The application of a student graduating from a non-accredited school will be referred to the Admissions Committee who will have the authority to determine admission eligibility.
6. Readmission. Students who have discontinued attendance at this college for one semester or more (excluding summer school) must apply for readmission. If, in the meantime, they have attended other colleges, official transcripts must be mailed to this college.
7. Guest Students. Transfer students who wish to attend one or both summer sessions at Jones Junior College and then re-enter the college last attended may do so by furnishing the following:
a. An application for admission.
b. An official transcript or letter of good standing.
Should a guest student choose to re-enter Jones Junior College after summer enrollment, the student must submit an official transcript. Note: Applicants may be allowed provisional acceptance to the institution for four weeks if all required material for admission has not been submitted. Provisional students will be notified through the mail by the Admissions and Records Office of additional material needed to complete the admission process and the time allowed to complete the requirements. After four weeks, if the admission process has not been completed, provisional students may be removed from all institutional rolls. Interested parties will be notified, and no enrollment refunds will be made. Institutional admission permits students to enter the college. It may not admit applicants to all programs. Some programs have additional requirements for entry. (See College Catalog)
