What you need to know about College Now enrollment
To be eligible for admission as a high school student concurrently enrolled at Johnson County Community College, each applicant needs to meet a set of established criteria.
Step 1 - Apply
- If you have not previously taken College Now courses while in high school, you will need to apply for admission to JCCC. Select the term you plan to be taking courses (i.e., Summer/Fall term for first semester or Spring term for second semester).
- You only need to apply once, so if you have already applied or taken College Now courses, skip this section and move to step 2!
Step 2 - Placement (complete placement test only if required)
- Placement testing/ACT scores are only required for certain College Now courses (e.g. English, math, science, etc.)
- If placement test/ACT scores are required, it is noted on the College Now schedule for your high school as a prerequisite.
- Not sure whether you need ACT scores or a JCCC placement test? Visit with your high school counselor.
Step 3 - Enroll
- Meet with your high school counselor to discuss your course selections.
- View your high school's class schedule to get your five-digit CRN.

There are several options for students who have transferred mid-year to a new high school.
- Fall semester long course – finish your fall courses at your current high school and enroll in spring College Now courses at your new high school, if available.
- College Algebra course – our JCCC instructors will work with you to finish the course at your new high school. We need to know once you have switched high schools so we can adjust your enrollment to the correct CRN. Have your new high school counselor email the JCCC Registrar Office with the details.
- Year-long course
- If the new high school does not offer the same course you are enrolled in, you will need to withdraw and will receive a ‘W’ on your JCCC transcript. JCCC will need a letter from your new high school stating they do not offer the same course. You may submit a Tuition Refund Appeal to ask if your tuition may be refunded. View the “How do I drop a College Now class” FAQ for details on dropping a year-long course.
- If your new high school does offer the same course, your new high school instructor would need to discuss this enrollment change with you prior to making any enrollment changes. This is to make sure the course is close to the same section of curriculum as the previous high school. If so, your new high school will need to email the Registrar Office to enroll you in the correct CRN for your new high school.
