Proof of academic excellence is the first step for acceptance into the JCCC honors program. This  includes:

• High school GPA of 3.5 or better*
  and
• ACT composite score of 25, SAT composite score of 1200, or equivalent*
  or
• Recent college coursework with a 3.5 GPA   

Students seeking admission into the Honors Program must complete and submit the honors application (PDF) and interview with the honors program director. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
 
* In some circumstances, students may be admitted to the honors program on the basis of either their GPA or test scores if both are not available. Occasionally students are admitted to the program on a conditional basis, with continuance dependent on performance.
