2. Have official copies of your transcripts sent to the Admissions office at JCCC.

If you are seeking a degree and/or are applying for federal financial aid through JCCC, please submit all college transcripts. Students applying for financial aid who have completed less than 12 college credits must also submit their high school transcript.

If you are a degree seeking student, and are applying for federal financial aid through JCCC, and have not previously attended a college or university, please submit your high school transcript.

If you are a non-degree seeking student over the age of 18, you do not need to submit any transcripts.

Both high school and college transcripts are required to meet athletic requirements.

If transcripts are required, they must be mailed directly from the issuing institution. Hand carried copies and faxes are not accepted. If you've attended multiple institutions, official transcripts are required from all previous institutions.

Send transcripts to: JCCC Admissions, Box 41 12345 College Blvd. Overland Park, KS 66210

JCCC accepts Electronic Certified PDF Transcripts from the University of Kansas. Transcripts must be sent to jcccadmissions@jccc.edu to be official.

Required transcripts must be received in admissions by the twentieth class day (ninth day of summer) of the semester of application, or a registration hold will be placed on your student account.

3. You are encouraged, but not required, to submit American College Testing scores. If you plan to submit scores, you should take the ACT test as early as possible and request that scores be sent to JCCC.

Residency

Currently, Kansas law requires that you live in the state six months prior to the first day of the semester or session in order to be eligible for resident tuition rates. This law is subject to change at the discretion of the Kansas State Legislature. The six-month requirement may be waived upon appeal to the director of admissions or if you were transferred or recruited by a Kansas company as a full-time employee to work in the state and have established a residence in Kansas. If you are a nonresident or visiting international student at JCCC, you must pay out-of-state tuition and fees. Address changes that result in a change to Kansas residency may require validation through a residency appeal. Those living in Kansas but outside Johnson County prior to the beginning of the semester will be assessed the out-of-county tuition rates for the remainder of the semester. Contact Admissions for details. If you have lived in Kansas for six months and are pursuing your permanent resident status through INS, contact Admissions for more information.

Continuing Students

An application for admission to JCCC is valid for two years. If a student does not enroll or reapply within two years, a new application for admission is required.
