Johnson County Resident Programs (cooperative)

Johnson County Community College and the Metropolitan Community College District (MCC) have developed cooperative agreements that allow Johnson County residents to enroll in selected career programs at MCC, while paying Johnson County resident credit hour tuition. Please refer to the Metropolitan Community College website for current program information. Cooperative programs include:

For more information about specific criteria required for individual program acceptance, contact the Metropolitan Community College district at http://www.mcckc.edu.

1. Apply for admission at both JCCC and the cooperative college (Penn Valley, Maple Woods, Longview, Blue River or Business & Technology College).

2. Take the JCCC assessment test (if applicable).

3. Be officially accepted into the program at the cooperative school.

4. Register for degree-specific courses at one of the MCC institutions. (It is your responsibility to contact the cooperative school for enrollment dates and times.)

5. Upon initial acceptance into the degree program, bring the following to the JCCC Admissions office:

• Your MCC student schedule showing enrollment in degree-specific courses and
• Proof of Johnson County residency. This may be any documentation which includes your name and address and is dated at least six months prior to the semester for which you are enrolled.

6. Complete and sign the JCCC cooperative student contract, available only through the JCCC Admissions office. It is your responsibility to retain a copy for your records and to forward a copy to the appropriate MCC Business office.

• A Johnson County resident or dependent is defined as one who lives in and pays Johnson County property taxes.
• You will be eligible for Johnson County resident rates only when step 6 has been completed. Until that time, you will be charged the MCC out-of-state tuition.

7. Pay tuition, lab fees and insurance at MCC by their designated payment deadline.

• Only those courses not offered at JCCC and required for your specific degree are included in this agreement. If you elect to take a general education course (i.e., Comp I, speech, math, CPCA, etc.) at the cooperative school, you will be responsible for paying the out-of-state tuition.

Please read the following information carefully:

The JCCC contract is valid through the course of your study. A new contract need not be completed each semester.

You must apply for and receive all your financial aid through MCC. The MCC institutional code is 002484.

JCCC has the right to limit enrollment in the cooperative program and can make changes in the program at any time.

JCCC will not pay for repeat course work. If you elect to repeat a course at the cooperative school, you must pay for the out-of-state tuition at the school.
