You can find JCCC-issued scrubs, as well other class supplies at the campus bookstore, located on main campus.
If you miss getting a seat in one of our CMA courses, you may want to add your name to the waitlist for the section you need. See waitlist procedures. Please note that adding yourself does not automatically guarantee that you will eventually secure a spot in the program! However, if you are notified of a seat opening, you must register within 24 hours or your spot in the waiting list will be given to the next student following.
If you've already begun the course, you will not receive a refund. You may reapply for the program during the time of registration when it's next available.
