From application to graduation, you’re in good hands.
Congratulations on being accepted to JCCC! You're one step closer to achieving your academic goals. To ensure you're not in it alone, our talented team of Financial Aid Advisors, Counselors, Success Coaches, Tutors, and Cav Leaders are here to assist you on your educational journey.
Pay for School with Financial Aid
Scholarships, grants, loans, and Federal Work-Study are all sources that can help pay for college. Want to see what you’re eligible for? Financial Aid staff are ready to walk you through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process and the JCCC scholarship application.
Counselors help you chart your path
JCCC counselors provide both academic and personal counseling. They are your go-to academic resource and can help you choose or change your major, select your classes, manage your time, and seamlessly transfer credits.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or need someone to talk to, counselors offer a compassionate ear in a safe and confidential environment. They advocate for you and will make referrals to appropriate agencies when needed.
Get to know campus on a “Find Your Class” tour
A Cav Leader (student admissions ambassador) will help you locate each classroom and find prime spots for studying, snacking, and collaborating. The tour is a great way to make new friends. By the end of this experience, you should feel right at home.

You could be eligible for testing accommodations, note-taking assistance, sign language interpreting services, audiobooks, assistive technology, or other specific services. Complete an application for accommodation through MyAccess and meet with an advisor to develop your specialized plan.
Success Coaches provide support for first-year students
Success Coaches empower you to take control of your life and achieve success in college—and beyond!
