Johnson County Community College
Series 300: Student Personnel
Section 311: Enrollment/Assessment/Scheduling

Students will enroll for courses according to instructions and deadline dates contained on the college's web site and in the Credit Enrollment Guide published prior to the beginning of each semester. Enrollment is considered complete when the student has paid tuition and fees or when payment has been officially authorized by the Financial Aid Office or Business Office. Students with past due obligations to the college may not enroll for courses until such obligations are resolved to the satisfaction of the college.

The college reserves the right to deny enrollment to any individual who has violated the Student Code of Conduct, as defined in policy 319.01, who is not making academic progress, as defined in policy 314.06, or when the college is unable to provide the services, courses, or programs needed to assist a student in meeting their educational objectives.

No student may enroll in any course for the third time without approval of the academic department. Grades and credit for repeated courses will be determined in accordance with Grade Information procedures stated in the Student Handbook.

Assessment

Students may be required to participate in the assessment process prior to enrolling in classes under the following circumstances:

• Students who are degree- or certificate-seeking will be required to take the assessment test, with the exception of a few vocational certificate programs that do not require math and/or English.

• Students who wish to enroll in a math or English course at JCCC, regardless of whether they plan to seek a degree or certificate, must take the assessment test.

Substitutions for the assessment:

• Students who have taken the ACT test within the last two years and earned an English score of 19 or higher and/or a reading score of 19 or higher and/or a math subscore of 26 or higher may substitute these scores for some sections of the assessment. Bring your official ACT scores to the Success Center before you take the assessment.

• Students who have successfully completed college courses in math and English from a U.S. institution may substitute these courses for the assessment.

• Students enrolling in courses offered through the JCCC Center for Business and Technology may not be required to take the assessment.

• Students enrolling in courses specially designed for specific populations may not be required to take the assessment. (The division administrator and the vice president of Instruction will designate these specific courses.)

Placement Based on Assessment

Students may be required to enroll in developmental reading or English classes based on their assessment scores. If a student is required to enroll in developmental reading and/or English classes, the student must enroll in any required classes to be allowed enrollment in other classes. Additional information is available in the Success Center and in Testing Services.

The mission of the Counseling and Advising Services is to assist individuals in the process of education, career and personal decision making. The counselor/advisee relationship involves making decisions in which students realize their maximum education potential through a continual exchange of information.

Counseling Services is staffed by full-time and part-time professional counselors who assist students in the process of reaching their goals. Counselors are also available for short-term personal counseling and can provide referral services.

A full-time transfer assistant coordinates transfer program/articulation agreements with regional four-year institutions and coordinates on-campus visits each semester with these institutions. Currently enrolled students may meet with a counselor on a walk-in basis or may schedule an appointment with individual counselors. An advising desk, located in the lobby of the Student Success Center, is staffed by a counselor and is available for students whose questions can be answered quickly.

Academic advising
At JCCC, academic advising plays a significant role in the total process of educating students. Advising at JCCC is conducted in Counseling Services. The process is ongoing, multifaceted and the responsibility of both the student and the counselor. Advising at JCCC is developmental in nature, helping clarify life and career goals from which education plans can be developed to realize those goals.

New student orientation
New students and students who are currently attending JCCC must attend a New Student Orientation before meeting with a counselor. These sessions provide important informatio yo need before y talk with a counselor and attend classes at JCCC. The session will explain entrance assessments, special application procedures, course scheduling, tuition payments, financial services, resources availble to help you and instructions on navigating through your MyJCCC student information account. To find the most current dates and times, refer to the link, "Attending a JCCC Orientation" on the Success Center Web site.

Course Schedule Information

Students are responsible for scheduling their own classes and for being aware of all schedule changes. The college reserves the right to cancel, combine or change the time, day or location of any class without obligation. The college also reserves the right to change the instructor and/or instructional methodology without obligation. Check your JCCC e-mail account to be aware of changes. Some changes (such as classroom location) will be reported on a card posted on a bulletin board adjacent to the room on the first day of class.

Enrollment Eligibility

Students who are currently enrolled or new students with a current application on file may enroll by Web according to procedures listed in the credit class schedule. To facilitate enrollment by Web, students should make sure any transcripts from other schools containing prerequisites for courses at JCCC have been received and articulated. Students should also take care of any holds on their records, such as financial or library obligations, prior to enrollment.

In addition to our traditional classes that begin during the first week of a semester, JCCC also offers many courses that start later in the semester. Students who wish to enroll in a late start course must do so prior to the first day the course meets. Students may not enroll on or after the first day a course begins regardless of what time of day the class meets. No late enrollment will be allowed.
