Students interested in applying for need-based aid must complete the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov. Students must apply each academic
year. Students and parents interested in the Direct Loan Program must also complete
the FAFSA. When the FAFSA is submitted to the Federal Processor, the student must
designate Jones County Junior College (federal school code 002411) as one of the
college recipients. Although students may submit a FAFSA prior to and during the
school year, priority consideration for some grants and scholarships is given to students
who are admitted to the college in a degree-granting or certificate program, have a valid
Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) on file, and have submitted all required
information by April 1. Financial assistance is to be used for educational purposes,
which is provided to students who have met the college admission requirements, have a
high school diploma or recognized equivalent, and meet other eligibility requirements.
In addition, to receive financial aid from any Federal Financial Aid Program, the student
must meet satisfactory progress in the course of study according to Jones County Junior
College financial aid policy for satisfactory academic progress. In order to be considered
for aid, students may be required to submit additional information to the Financial Aid
Office. All students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA. Refer to www.jcjc.edu
for information regarding federal and state financial aid programs.

SATISFACTORY PROGRESS FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING FINANCIAL AID
Students receiving any form of financial aid from JCJC will be expected to maintain
satisfactory progress toward their degree objective. If satisfactory progress is not met, all
need-based financial aid including student loans will be terminated. Satisfactory progress
will be measured according to the following table:
Cumulative Semester
Hours Attempted
Minimum Required Cumulative
Grade Point Average (GPA)*
Completion Rate/Percentage of
Hours Passed
1 - 32
1.5
50%
33 - 63
1.75
67%
64+
2.0
67%
*The cumulative GPA requirement may be waived after a semester if the student meets
the hour requirement, completion rate, and has a minimum 2.0 grade point average.
The table above does not apply to the following scholarships:
MTAG, ACT, and Academic Scholarships require a 2.5 GPA. MESG requires a 3.5
GPA. Other Institutional Scholarships may require a higher GPA.
Satisfactory academic progress has three standards of measurement that a student
must meet and is calculated at the end of each semester. In order to maintain financial
eligibility, students must progress according to the above table. It is the student’s
responsibility to be familiar with the SAP Policy and to monitor his/her progress
each semester.
Three Standards of Measurement:
Standard 1
Cumulative Grade Point Average - Students should maintain the required grade point
average to be eligible for financial aid.
Standard 2
Credit Completion Rate - Students should successfully complete a percentage of
hours attempted. This is the number of hours completed compared to the number of
hours attempted.
Standard 3
Maximum Time Frame - The maximum time frame allowable for students to complete
the academic program cannot exceed 150% of attempted credit hours. Students that
reach the maximum time frame will automatically be placed on financial aid suspension.
All accredited postsecondary coursework will be counted.
Financial Aid Warning
GPA - Warning
CONTENTS
40
41
Students who do not meet minimum standards for satisfactory progress will be given
one semester of warning. During the warning semester, students will be eligible to
receive financial aid.
Credit Completion - Warning
Students who do not successfully complete the minimum percentage of credit hours
attempted will be given one semester of warning regardless of GPA.
Hours - Warning
Once students complete 84 hours attempted at JCJC and previous accredited colleges
attended, the students will attain a status of warning regardless of GPA.
If the student does not meet SAP at the end of the next semester, the student will be
placed on financial aid suspension and is no longer eligible for federal student aid.
Financial Aid Suspension
GPA - Suspension
After the warning semester, students who do not meet minimum standards for
satisfactory progress will not be eligible to receive Title IV financial aid, until minimum
standards are achieved.
Credit Completion - Suspension
After the warning semester, students who do not successfully complete the minimum
percentage of credit hours attempted will not be eligible to receive Title IV financial aid,
until minimum standards are achieved.
Hours - Suspension
Once students complete 96 hours attempted at JCJC and previous accredited colleges
attended, the students will automatically attain a status of suspension regardless of GPA.
Students will not be eligible to receive financial aid while on suspension.
CONTENTS
Notification of Financial Aid Warning and Suspension
Financial aid standing is calculated at the end of each semester. Students will receive
a written notice from the Financial Aid Office indicating warning or suspension status.
Students can also check the JCPortal.
Reinstatement of Eligibility and Appeal Procedure
In order to be reinstated on financial aid due to financial aid suspension for GPA and the
completion rate, students must attend at their own expense until the minimum standards
are met for satisfactory academic progress. The preceding statement does not apply to
students who are on financial aid suspension for hours.
Students who lose eligibility for financial aid have the opportunity to appeal. To appeal
the suspension status because of GPA, completion rate, or hours attempted, students must
complete and submit an appeal form to the Financial Aid Office. The Director/Assistant
Director of Financial Aid will review the appeal on a case by case basis. Students will
be notified in writing regarding the decision of the appeal. If a student would like to
appeal the decision, a request must be made for the case to be reviewed by the Appeals
Committee. The decision of the Appeals Committee is final.
In the event the appeal is approved, the student will attain the status of financial aid
appeal probation as long as the student continues to meet satisfactory academic progress
and follows the guidelines set forth on the appeal/academic plan. Students who do not
meet the conditions of the appeal will be placed on financial aid suspension. An appeal
will not be approved for a semester once the semester has ended. If an appeal is approved
and the student reaches the maximum duration of pell grant eligibility, then the appeal is
null and void for pell grant funds.
Financial aid suspension does not prevent students from attending JCJC.
OTHER JCJC FINANCIAL AID REGULATIONS
Appeal Probation
This status is assigned to a student whose eligibility for aid has been reinstated based on
an approved appeal. A student on probation may not receive financial aid for the subsequent
payment period unless the student is now meeting satisfactory academic progress at the end
of the probation period (semester), or the Financial Aid Office determines that the student
met the requirements specified in the academic plan. However, a determination in some
cases may be necessary at the discretion of the Director of Financial Aid. (Effective August
2011)
Audit Courses
Audit courses are not considered credits attempted or earned, and students may not
receive financial aid for auditing a course.
Begin Again/Academic Amnesty
The federal student aid program regulations make no provision for the concept of
academic amnesty or academic begin again. A student’s entire academic record at JCJC, as
well as transfer work from all previously attended accredited institutions, will be evaluated
to determine Satisfactory Academic Progress. The FAO will always consider a student’s
entire cumulative record when evaluating to determine eligibility for financial aid.
Census Date
The census date is the date during each term in which the FAO determines the final official
enrollment for the term. The class(es) the student is enrolled in and ATTENDING as of
the census date (each term) will determine the amount of financial aid the student may
receive. Adding and dropping classes before and after the census date may affect financial
aid awards and the amount the student owes to JCJC.
Cumulative Record
All academic records of JCJC students will be evaluated to determine eligibility for
financial aid whether or not the students received aid for all semesters of attendance.
Determination of Need
The information submitted on the FAFSA will be used in a federally mandated calculation
that determines what portion of students “cost of attendance” can be met through the
students’ (and in the case of dependent students, the parents) resources. This figure is
then subtracted from the cost of attendance during the appropriate period of enrollment.
“Cost of attendance” is based on average costs for tuition and fees, room and board (even
for commuter students), books and supplies, transportation, and miscellaneous personal
expenses. This figure minus the expected family contribution (EFC) equals the documented
limit for need-based financial aid. Once the documented limit is determined, awards are
made by the Financial Aid Office based on the students’ eligibility for aid and the amount
of need-based funds available. See calculation of financial need below:
Cost of Attendance (COA) - Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need
Disbursement of Awards
Federal, state, and other financial aid will be credited to the student’s account by the JCJC
FAO. Tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, miscellaneous fees, and bobcat bucks (to
the extent of funds available) may be allowed to be charged against the student’s account.
All refunds to students, over the above charges, will be disbursed to the students by paper
check or deposited on the OneCard. Student refund dates will be posted to the FAO
website at the beginning of each semester. This does not apply to students who work on
campus. All work-study checks will be disbursed on a monthly basis.
Dual Enrolled Students
Dual enrolled college students are not eligible to receive Title IV aid at two institutions.
Dual enrolled high school students are not eligible for financial aid.
Duration of Pell Grant Eligibility
The maximum allowable time a student may receive pell grant funds is the equivalent of
twelve (12) full-time semesters effective the 2012-2013 school year.
CONTENTS
42
43
Incomplete Grades
Incomplete “I” grades must be completed within six weeks after the end of the semester
in which the student received an “I”. If the “I” is not changed, the student will receive
an “F”. An “I” will have the same effect as an “F” when calculating hours attempted,
completion rate, and quality points. When calculating semester and cumulative GPA, the
“I” will be calculated until the grade is changed.
Maximum Time
Students are not eligible for any federal financial aid at JCJC after completing 150%
of the time normally required to complete their program of study, not to exceed 96 hours
attempted, regardless of GPA, cumulative hours earned, or change of program. In addition,
hours attempted when the student did not receive financial aid will also be calculated
according to satisfactory academic progress requirements.
Non-High School Graduates
Students who enroll on or after July 1, 2012, are required to have a high school diploma or
a recognized equivalent. Students may receive Title IV aid if they demonstrate the ability to
benefit from the academic program, and are enrolled in an eligible career pathway program
as defined in the Higher Education Act.
Remedial Courses
Students receive institutional credit and grades for remedial courses; therefore, remedial
courses will be treated in the same manner as other college courses attempted. Students
may receive financial aid for up to 30 attempted remedial credit hours.
Repeated Courses
Repeated courses will be calculated in hours attempted. Effective July 2011, a student
may receive Title IV funds for a repeat course only once if the course was previously
passed (received credit). Students repeating failed coursework may receive aid. Please
contact the FAO for questions about class repeats.
Return of Title IV Funds
The U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Amendment Act of 1998, requires
that a school return all unearned Title IV aid when recipients withdraw from school. Students
who withdraw from all classes prior to completing more than 60% of an enrollment term
will have their aid recalculated based on the percentage of the term completed. Federal
Title IV Financial Aid includes: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Federal Direct Student Loans.

INSTRUCTIONAL AFFAIRS
GENERAL INFORMATION
College programs are broadly supervised by the Vice President of Instructional Affairs
and Assessment, Dean Academic Affairs and Honors College, and Dean of Career and
Technical Education. These administrators are supported by the Vice President of Business
Affairs, Vice President of Student Affairs, division chairpersons, and Workforce College
personnel. The College is organized into the following divisions: Business and Technology;
Fine Arts; Health, Physical Education, and Recreation; Humanities; Mathematics; Science;
Social Science; Agricultural Services; Health and Human Services; Industrial Services; and
Workforce College.
THE COLLEGE YEAR
Curricula and courses at Jones County Junior College are generally presented within
the framework of the semester system. Fall and spring semesters make up the traditional
academic year, though students may pursue degree requirements on a year round basis
by attending summer 2 week, 4 week, 5 week, and 7 week sessions in addition to the two
traditional semesters.
STUDENT CLASSIFICATION
Students at Jones County Junior College are classified as either Freshman or Sophomore.
A student is classified as a freshman when they are working toward, or have zero to twentynine (0-29) semester hours’ credit. Students who have earned Thirty (30) semester hours’
credit and above are classified as sophomores.
STUDENT ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITIES
All colleges establish certain requirements which must be met before a degree is granted.
These regulations concern such things as curricula and courses, majors, and campus
residence requirements. Advisors, counselors, faculty, and deans will inform students
concerning these requirements, but students themselves are ultimately responsible for being
acquainted with regulations and procedures as stated in the Catalog, Student Handbook,
and other official publications of the College. For these reasons, it is important for students
to be familiar with these publications and remain currently informed throughout their
college careers.
COURSE LOAD
The minimum course load for full-time students is 15 semester hours, and the maximum
course load is 19 semester hours. Students wishing to enroll in more than 19 semester hours
must receive approval from the Vice President of Instructional Affairs. In determining their
course loads, students should be aware that each hour of class usually demands two hours of
outside preparation.
INSTRUC TIONAL AFFAIRS
CONTENTS
COURSE CHANGES
Changes in schedules include withdrawal from a course(s) or addition of a new course(s).
Students may withdraw/add classes free of charge via the JC Portal anytime between preregistration and the beginning of classes. Beginning the first day of class, students wanting to
make course changes must go to the Student Success Center to process the change.
PROGRAM CHANGES
Jones County Junior College reserves the right to change its program curriculum at any time
during the academic year based on changes in local, state and federal policy. These changes
will be made through a curriculum addendum that is approved by JCJC’s Educational Program
Advisory Committee. The most current copy of JCJC’s Catalog can be found at www.jcjc.edu.
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION
Jones County Junior College seeks to provide an environment suitable for promoting
the systematic pursuit of learning. The College requires of its students reasonable
academic progress. The retention of those students who repeatedly demonstrate a lack of
ability, industry, maturity, and preparation would be inconsistent with this requirement.
If a course is repeated, only the hours and the best grade are used in computing the grade
point average.
Academic probation and suspension regulations apply equally to all students.
Suspensions may be appealed to the Admissions Committee. If an appeal is denied, the
student may then follow DUE PROCESS PROCEDURES as outlined in the Student
Handbook.
Academic Probation
Academic probation officially recognizes that a student is making unsatisfactory
progress and is in need of help. Academic probation is designed to serve a four-fold
purpose: to indicate that the quality of academic achievement is below the standards
required in progressing satisfactorily toward graduation or transfer, to make clear to
all concerned of the shortcomings of a student’s performance, to provide occasion
for necessary counseling, and to give students opportunity to demonstrate adequate
performance.
Academic Probation Regulations
1. Students whose term grade point average at the end of any semester is below a 1.75.
2. Students currently on probation whose term grade point average is below a 2.0 will
remain on academic probation.
Students placed on academic probation will be required to meet the Admissions
Committee for academic counseling at the beginning of the subsequent semester.
Probation may be lifted by achieving a 2.0 term GPA the subsequent semester.
Academic Suspension
Academic suspension is a penalty imposed after a student has been allowed every
reasonable opportunity to make satisfactory progress. The academic suspension period
will provide an opportunity for students to reconsider their approaches to a college
career or to make necessary adjustments in attitudes concerning the academic demands
of college life.
CONTENTS

51
Academic Suspension Regulations.
1. Students whose term grade point average is below 1.5 while they are on academic
probation.
2. Students who remain on academic probation for three consecutive semesters.
a. A first suspension will be for one semester. (Does not include summer)
b. The second suspension will be for one calendar year.
Readmission Procedures
Readmission is initiated through the Admissions Committee. Procedures are outlined in
the Student Handbook.
VIOLATIONS OF CODE OF CONDUCT AND/OR PROGRAM STANDARDS MAY BE
SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE
The permanent record of a student withdrawing from the College is not complete until they
have officially withdrawn. The correct procedure is to consult with the Student Success Center
to secure and complete an official withdrawal form. The withdrawal will then become part of
the student’s permanent record. Students who leave school without following this procedure
will be subject to all applicable tuition and fees. Students should withdraw in person and
see that their withdrawal forms are signed by the proper officials. However, in extenuating
circumstances, students may withdraw by completing the process through the Student Success
Center by contacting them by face to face, phone, or email.
COURSE REPEATS
Students may repeat courses at Jones County Junior College to improve their GPAs. The
best grade earned in a course will be the official grade. Students repeating a class taken prior
to 1985 should contact the Admissions and Records Office to insure the best grade earned
will be the official grade. Students should be aware that senior institutions develop their own
acceptance policies on repeats.
CONTENTS
JCJC BEGIN AGAIN
Jones County Junior College encourages the enrollment of previous students who have
decided to continue their education. For students whose grades were inadequate during previous
enrollment, JCJC’s Begin Again is a way to dismiss previous grades from consideration when
computing grade point average at Jones.
Begin Again requirements:
1. The student must complete a request for Begin Again and submit it to the registrar.
2. Begin Again may be declared only one time.
3. The student must not have been enrolled for five consecutive years (60 months).
4. Federally funded financial aid may still be denied based on old grades. Begin Again GPA
calculations are for JCJC academic matters only.
5. The student will not be allowed to specify the grades that will be forgiven. NO grades
prior to the initial Begin Again semester will be counted for graduation or grade point average
calculation. All grades will remain on the transcript with a special notation for forgiven grades.
6. Student must enroll and complete one successful semester at Jones before Begin Again
calculations will take effect.
7. Other colleges or universities may not honor the Begin Again GPA. Please check with
individual institutions for their policies.
8. A student who has received a degree or certificate is not eligible for Begin Again.
9. The registrar is responsible for providing the necessary interpretations on questions not
expressly answered in this policy.
AUDITING COURSES
Students may be permitted to audit courses depending upon available space. Fees for auditing
a course are the same as for regular registration for a course. Students interested in auditing a
course should contact the Vice President of Instructional Affairs.
CREDIT FOR COURSE WORK
TRANSFER CREDIT
All course work transcripted at a regionally accredited institution will be placed on a student’s
permanent record as maintained by this college. The Admissions and Records Office will
notify transfer students of the amount of the credit which will transfer prior to the end of the
first term in which they are enrolled. All grades of “D” or above will be accepted as hours
attempted and passed. Developmental course work (classes considered below college level)
transferred from outside institutions cannot be applied as hours passed toward a degree. Credit
earned at a non-regionally accredited institution will not be recognized for transfer credit.
Students must maintain an accumulative GPA of 2.0 or above when all transfer courses used
to meet degree requirements are averaged with course work completed at Jones County Junior
College.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
Jones County Junior College will allow students to earn credit by examination under one or
more of the following programs for up to a total of 30 semester hours:
1. College Level Examination Program - General Examination
Jones County Junior College will allow credit examination to those students who have been
out of high school for at least 3 years and have never enrolled in a college level class for the
General Examination area. The Admissions and Records Office will determine a person’s
eligibility to receive credit. A student who has earned over 30 semester hours of college credit
may not earn additional credit through the use of this examination. Credit will be granted for
successful completion of the examination in the following manner:

Note: Some Advanced Placement tests cover such specific and well-defined areas that only

awarded by Jones County Junior College may not be accepted by other educational institutions.
Students should consult transfer institutions to determine acceptable credit.
3. Credit By Examination -Nationally Recognized Credentials
Credit-By-Examination (CBE) provides multiple entry points into a number of Career and
Technical programs as a non-duplicative sequence of technical skill proficiency for programs
aligned to nationally recognized credentials. Where possible, CBE provides a career pathway
into credit-bearing postsecondary CTE programs and attainment of an industry recognized
credential, certificate, diploma, or degree. In order for CBE participants to gain college credit,
he/she must meet college admission standards for the career or technical program in which
he/she is entering. For those who have successfully completed the nationally recognized
credential, the participant will provide documented proof of a valid and current certification
or credential. The credit will be awarded after the student completes one semester in the same
program in which the CBE applies. To determine if a program offers CBE services, please refer
to that particular program in the college catalog.
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Jones County Junior College will award credit to veterans after an evaluation by the Office
of Admissions and Records. As an accredited institution and a member of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), Jones County Junior College is the final authority
for assessing and transcribing credit for military training and experience. Jones County Junior
College’s established policy for the assessment and transcription of credit for military training
and experience supersedes ACE credit recommendations and those of any other organization.
Award of credit for military training and experience is based upon official documentation.
Acceptable documents for assessment of military training and experience are: official
transcripts for programs of study issued by the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI)
(minimal score 50), Army Command and General Staff College, Army/American Council on
Education Registry Transcript (AARTS), and Sailor/Marine American Council on Education
Registry Transcript (SMART) System.
Note: The Community College of the Air Force is a SACSCOC accredited school and
therefore is treated as college transfer work. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain all
records.
Documentation becomes part of the student’s academic record and becomes the property of
Jones County Junior College. All documentation will be submitted to and evaluated by the
Registrar’s Office.
The Registrar’s Office will determine credit as being career, technical, or academic in nature
as well as the number of credit hours awarded to the student. If a student plans on using
credit toward the technical degree (Associate of Applied Science) or the Career Certificate, the
CONTENTS
54
55
student’s primary instructor must complete any appropriate course substitution forms.
Credit will not be placed on the student’s transcripts until the student has completed 12
semester hours.
EVENING CLASSES
An evening college program is offered throughout the year. This program is diversified to
meet the needs of students served by the College.
DISTANCE EDUCATION
The Jones eLEARNING program has removed the barriers of location and time, making a
college education accessible and affordable for every student at any age. Distance learning
courses allow students who do not have the flexibility to attend traditional on-campus classes to
pursue their educational goals. Distance learning courses also offer students taking on-campus
courses a more flexible class schedule. Distance education allows everyone the opportunity to
access higher education.
eLEARNING at Jones is delivered through Canvas with educational support for each student. Students will work independently at their own pace and interact through various communication
tools and technologies. Except for exams, regular campus attendance is not required.
Jones County Junior College is a member of the Mississippi Virtual Community College
(MSVCC), which provides internet-based courses statewide. MSVCC is a consortium of
Mississippi’s junior/community colleges. Through MSVCC, students may take courses from
the other community/junior colleges while getting support services from JCJC, as long as the
course is in the course catalog. To take a course from another (remote) college, a student
enrolls at a local (JCJC) junior/community college. The local college provides the best of
on-campus support with student services, including advisement and counseling, financial aid,
and learning resources. The remote college provides the course and instruction while the local
college awards the credit for the course.
Jones offers two formats for distance education – online and hybrid.

GRADING SYSTEM
Grades and Credit Hours
Credit for each course is awarded in terms of semester hours. The number of credit hours
awarded for each course normally conforms to the number of contact class hours per week. An
exception occurs in laboratory and clinical work. Two hours of lab is a one credit hour value
and three hours clinical is a one credit hour value. Credit hours for courses will be granted at the
completion of each semester. Partial credit will not be granted for any period during the semester.
The following possible grades and corresponding quality represent the instructor’s final
evaluation of a student’s performance in a course:
A - Excellent; 4 quality points per semester hour
B - Good; 3 quality points per semester hour
C - Average; 2 quality points per semester hour
D - Below Average; 1 quality point per semester hour
F - Failure without privilege of re-examination; 0 quality points
U - Audit; 0 quality points
I - Incomplete; must be removed within six weeks as directed by the instructor or grade becomes an “F”
W -Withdrawn on or before designated date according to the college calendar
A grade report of “I” (incomplete) at the end of any course represents failure to complete some
of the requirements of the course. An “I” requires the subsequent completion of all requirements
in the course within six weeks following the end of the semester in which the course was taken;
otherwise, a grade of “F” is automatically recorded. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange
with his/her instructor for completion of course requirements in accordance with this regulation.
Divisions within the College must establish standards of performance expressed in percentages
and inform students of grading procedures for each class.
EXAMINATIONS
The final examination schedule is published at the end of each semester, and students will be
given a comprehensive final examination based on course objectives.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE
For the purpose of graduation, students must obtain a “C” average, which according to the grade
point system adopted, would be a 2.0 average. This average is figured on the total quality points
earned divided by the total number of semester hours attempted. Grades of “W,” “WP,” or “U”
do not count in the grade-point average. Grades of “WP” and “WF” were awarded prior to Fall
2007. All other courses attempted are included in the average.
GRADE REPORTS
Students are notified of their academic status at mid-term of each semester. Faculty advisors
receive mid-term grade reports and are available to advisees to discuss academic performance. At
the end of each semester, grade reports are made available to students through their online account.
Appeals associated with final grades must be received in writing by the Office of Instructional
Affairs within 30 days following the end of the term in which the grade was assigned.
HONORS
At the end of each semester, special recognition is given to students for outstanding academic

Veteran’s Affairs Certifying Official. Career students will not be certified for any cooperative
education course.

probation.
2. Students who remain on academic probation for three consecutive semesters.

VIII. Failure of the student to notify the Veteran’s Affairs Certifying Official in writing within one

receive VA education assistance in whole or in part may result in the termination of the student’s
certification due to unsatisfactory conduct.
IX. The attendance policy for students utilizing GI Bill Educational Benefits will be the same as
that required for all Jones County Junior College students. Attendance requirements are found in the
current Jones County Junior College Catalog. The Veteran’s Affairs Certifying Official is notified in
writing when a student has accumulated excessive absences as reported by the student’s instructor.
The achievement of excessive absences as reported by the student constitutes unsatisfactory conduct,
and the student’s certification will be immediately be terminated unless the student appears before the

30326, (404)-975-5000, and the Mississippi State Institutions of Higher Learning, Board of Trustees
(IHL). This program consists of nursing and non-nursing courses granting college credit. The program
of study qualifies the graduate to be eligible to apply for the National Council Licensure Examination
for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN ®). Graduates are prepared to render competent nursing care in a
variety of health care settings.
The Associate in Arts degree with a major in nursing requires courses in biological and social

care agencies to provide experiences selected by the faculty that develop the understandings and skills
taught in the theory classes. Students are responsible for their own transportation for clinical learning
experiences.
In addition to regular college tuition and fees, Associate Degree Nursing students will have costs
for program-wide testing, criminal background checks, drug testing, uniforms, books, physical exam,
two step Tuberculosis skin testing, CPR certification for the Healthcare Provider, and immunizations.
Membership in pre-professional student nurse organizations (MASN/MOSA) is an additional elective
cost.

licensure of any person who has been convicted of a criminal offense under any provision of Title 97 of

Mr. G. Wascoe
The Division of Fine Arts includes the areas of Art and Music and provides students with two
years of preparation for professional performing or teaching careers in one of the many areas of art
or music. Opportunities are provided for students from all divisions of the college to participate in
numerous art and music organizations.
ART (UNIVERSITY PARALLEL)
Pre-Studio Art/Art Education
The courses offered in art provide a foundation for visual arts majors who plan to transfer after
two years to a senior college or university. The curriculum includes courses leading to the Associate
in Arts degree with emphasis in the visual arts and additional courses that offer cultural growth to
those living within the college area. The courses are also designed to encourage participation of
non-art majors. All art majors must take the foundation courses Drawing I and Design I
their first semester, followed by Drawing II and Design II the following semester to ensure
transfer of credits. These classes are also pre-requisites to other art studio courses, (3-D
Design, Painting I and Painting II, Ceramics I and Ceramics II). Art majors must take
the freshman level courses in sequence in order to receive proper transfer credit and must
take Exhibition Class each semester enrolled as an art major at JCJC. Each semester art
majors must enroll in art classes and submit a portfolio for jury by art faculty. Scholarships
are available to freshmen and returning students, are usually awarded based on the quality of the
student’s portfolio and are decided on an individual basis. Transfer credits to four-year institutions
can be based on the quality of student work; therefore, all art majors are required to participate in
juries (portfolio review) at the end of each semester. Juries are necessary for art faculty to ensure
progress and to advise in the preparation of portfolios.

Drawing II and Design II the following semester to ensure transfer of credits. These
classes are also prerequisites to other art studio courses (3-D Design, Painting I and
Painting II, Ceramics I, and Ceramics II).
MUSIC (UNIVERSITY PARALLEL)
Music Education/Performance
The music department offers university-parallel courses leading to the Bachelor of Music or
Bachelor of Music Education degrees with the following majors: performance, music education,
church music, music therapy, or music industry. Students must select an emphasis of guitar, organ,
piano, vocal music or instrumental music. Music courses are designed to parallel courses in the
music areas of the freshman and sophomore years of any senior college or university and fully
prepare students to enter their junior year of study.
Freshman and transfer students must take a placement examination in music theory, and must
audition in their applied music major. Based upon the results of the placement examination,
students will be placed in either Music Theory I or Fundamentals. Upon successful completion of
Fundamentals, the student will be allowed to enroll in the required theory sequence beginning with
Theory I. The student’s major instructor will determine applied placement based upon the student’s
prior study, technical facility, and knowledge of pre-college level literature. The student may be
required to repeat an applied level, or study at a non-major level until sufficient progress has been
made to meet minimum requirements for specified learning outcomes.
Music majors are required to enroll in MUS 1911, MUS 1921, MUS 2911, and MUS 2921,
participate in a performance ensemble, study piano (class or applied) and take lessons in their major
applied area every semester in attendance at Jones County Junior College. Instrumental and Vocal
Education majors must take piano as their minor applied music. Piano majors may take either voice
or an instrument as the minor applied, but voice is recommended.
Non-music majors are provided the opportunity to pursue an interest in music through individual
and group performances, music courses, and private instruction (see laboratory fees); however,
COLLEGE PROGRAMS

Students seeking admission to performing groups (Band, Choir, JC Voices, JC Jazz, Musical
Theater, etc) must audition for membership. Performing groups are open to non-music majors as
well as to music majors; service award scholarships are available for qualified participants in all
performing ensembles. Auditions are held throughout the year.
Practice room facilities are provided for those enrolled in applied music courses. All students
enrolled in applied lessons are required to maintain daily practice periods.
Music majors enrolled in applied lessons must perform a jury for all applied faculty. Students who
do not perform a jury will receive the grade of “I” or “F.” The student may perform a sophomore
recital in lieu of the jury requirement for one semester. The recital may only substitute for the jury
one time.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
Admission to the senior college does not constitute admission to a teacher education
program. Students who desire to be admitted to a professional education program must
first have successfully passed Praxis I, either the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) or
the Computer Based Test (CBT). These students would typically be in their sophomore
year and would be preparing to be in the normal sequence of professional education
courses in their junior year. A 2.50 minimum GPA on the general 44 semester-hour core
curriculum (a requirement by the State Department of Education) must be achieved.
USM requires a 2.65 GPA and MSU a 2.75 GPA, rather than the state-approved
minimum 2.5 GPA.
A grade of D in a class in the elementary education curriculum usually requires that
the course be repeated. USM requires a C or better in English Composition I, English
Composition II, World Literature, and College Algebra. Students transferring to USM
must choose one area of endorsement for the K-6 Elementary Education major (reading
is the required second endorsement for all elementary education majors at USM).
William Carey requires a C or better in English Composition I, English Composition
II, and the students’ chosen endorsement area courses. Students transferring to William
Carey must take an English proficiency test. Students who fail this test must take an
English review class at William Carey. Students may be admitted without these tests
if they have attained the minimum scores set by the Mississippi State Department of
Education on the ACT (Composite 21 with no subscore below 18). These scores must
be attained while the student is in high school. Students planning to attend MSU must
have no grade below a C in math, Composition I, Composition II, and the students’
chosen endorsement area courses and must show evidence of 40 documented hours of
working with children.

May retake a failed test once every 21 days.
Students should note that state teacher certification requirements supersede the program requirements
shown in the catalog. Mandated changes in program requirements will be communicated through the
student’s academic adviser.
Math. Students without an adequate high school math background, which includes a minimum of
Algebra II, should enroll in a preparatory math course, such as Intermediate Algebra, prior to College
Algebra. Preparatory math courses will not transfer to other institutions. Real Number System (MAT
1723) is a second required course to fulfill 6 math hours. MAT 1723 is required for USM and MSU.
Humanities. For UM, students should take two courses in English above Composition I and
Composition II. UM requires British Literature rather than World Literature. Students may choose from
philosophy, British literature or foreign language to fulfill the remaining 3-hour humanities requirement
at UM. USM requires World Literature. Traditional Grammar is not required at WCU. WCU requires
a second literature course rather than Traditional Grammar. Traditional Grammar may count toward an
English endorsement at USM, MSU and WCU.
Science. A minimum of one course each in biological and physical sciences is required in the
elementary education core curriculum at UM followed by an elective in either of these two areas or in
math. MSU transfers should have a total of 12 semester hours of laboratory science courses, including 6
hours of physical science and 3 hours of biological science. USM requires 8 hours of lab science in any
two science areas. USM also requires that elementary education majors who choose science as an area
of endorsement must take an additional 10 hours in science from the biological and physical sciences.
Social Science. For USM, Human Growth & Development, psychology, geography and 3 hours of
western civilization are required courses. Elementary Education majors transferring to USM may choose
courses in government, sociology, and economics toward an endorsement in social studies. American
National Government and World Geography are required courses at MSU along with 6 hours of history
(American history is recommended). UM requires 6 hours of history and 3 hours of geography.
Fine Arts. Art for Elementary Teachers is required for students transferring to WCU.
Computer Concepts. MSU and WCU require an introductory course in computer concepts. Neither
USM nor UM requires Computer Applications (USM no longer accepts Computer Applications towards
a math or science endorsement).
Health. Elementary Education majors at WCU must take two semesters of physical education.
Personal and Community Health (HPR 1213) from JCJC is not an acceptable substitute for this

“Pre-med” and “Pre-dental” are NOT undergraduate majors. Students will need
to select an academic major in order to earn a bachelor’s degree in preparation for
application to these professional programs. Most students interested in these careers
major in a scientific field (biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, physics,
etc), but students can major in any field as long as application requirements are met
104
according to the professional schools’ specifications. The curriculum below is based
on the programs at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (unless otherwise
noted). In most cases, online coursework will NOT be accepted to meet pre-requisite
requirements. Students should consult with the school of their choice for specific

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Mr. Jason Dedwylder, Dean of Career and Technical Education, Mr. Sandy Cochran,
Assistant Dean of Career and Technical Education, and Mrs. Candace Weaver, Vice
President of Instructional Affairs and Assessment.
COLLEGE PROGRAMS
CONTENTS
The Career and Technical Education Division provides many programs and training that
are comprised of workforce, career, technical and AAS certificates and degrees. Career and
technical works closely with the workforce division to apply training and skills toward
career pathways within career and technical programs.
Career/technical courses and programs offer highly skilled and technical educational
opportunities that meet the specialized needs of individuals, communities, and businesses.
Courses in Career and Technical Education are sequenced and designed to prepare students
for employment in current and emerging careers not requiring a baccalaureate or advanced
degree. All courses include competency-based applied learning that contributes to an
individual’s academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning, and problem-solving skills. The
competencies, coupled with specific skills training, prepare an individual to attain economic
independence and a purposeful life. Career and technical education courses may be applied
toward a workforce certificate, career certificate, technical certificate, or an AAS degree.
Technical programs include a minimum of fifteen hours of academic course work for
the A.A.S. degree. All technical students must be actively pursuing an Associate in
Applied Science degree by following the outlined curriculum for the selected major. Any
deviation from an outlined curriculum must be approved in writing prior to enrollment by
the instructor, the program’s Dean, and the Vice President of Instructional Affairs. Some
technical programs offer a certificate option as well as an Associate in Applied Science
degree. Certificate and degree options for programs may be found on the JCJC website
under each program. Students pursuing one of these certificate options may be required to
attend training provided by Student Service Coordinators to improve basic skills in the areas
of reading, math and/or language.
Career programs are organized and planned for twenty-two to thirty clock hours of
instruction per week. These curricula are designed as terminal programs that qualify
students as entry-level craftsmen. All full-time students in career classes must register for
the number of hours set forth in their curriculum. The curriculum is listed in the catalog.
Some curriculums may go through revisions. The most current curriculum for each career
and technical program may be viewed on the website under each specific program. The only
deviation will be a student needing less than this number of semester hours credit in order to
meet graduation requirements and will require the approval of the instructor, the Dean over
that division, and the Vice President of Instructional Affairs.
STUDENT TOOL POLICY
Students entering a career or technical program are required to have tools and/or equipment
designed to aid them in meeting the course objectives. For each of the programs that require
tools or equipment, a list will be given to the student at orientation, registration, or the first
day of class. Deadline dates for tool possession differ among programs because of course
content and objectives.
Students who do not have tools by the deadline date will be marked absent each day
thereafter. Absentees will follow the career education attendance policy. After being
dropped, re-entry will be considered on an individual basis if the student acquires the tools.
TEXTBOOK POLICY
Students are required to have textbooks during the first week of class. These books are
essential for course study. The JCJC absentee policy will be initiated during the second
week if a student fails to acquire the required textbooks.
CTE STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Student Support Services Department assists
in preparing CTE students to meet the constantly changing needs of the 21st century
workplace. CTE Support Services Coordinators (SSC) enhance and support the performance
of the college’s individual program instructors by assisting students who are deficit in certain
basic academic skills and provide training and support of professional employability skills.
CTE SSC’s provide educational services and materials for strengthening mathematical,
reading, language, and communication skills. Additional responsibilities include but are
not limited to CTE recruiting, career counseling, building and maintaining partnerships
with business/industry, and tracking and assisting students from entrance to their program
of study until graduation and employment. Students desiring such services should contact
the Career and Technical Dean’s Office, the Student Success Center, or any of the Student
Service Coordinators.
Student Support Services Department
Ms. Lucy Flowers, Dr. Brad Harrison, Ms. Judy Prine
The Career and Technical Education Division’s philosophy is that all students
deserve a chance to be successful in a chosen field of study. It has been determined
that individuals who are deficient in certain basic skills will experience measurable
degrees of difficulty in coping with the technical information requirements of the skill
training programs. Supplementary services are provided to students identified as special
populations upon enrollment in career or technical programs and preparatory services
are provided to assist individuals seeking to qualify for career or technical programs.
Special populations include the following: individuals with disabilities; individuals from
economically disadvantaged families, including foster children; individuals preparing
for non-traditional training and employment; single parents (teens and adults), including

single pregnant girls and women; displaced homemakers; and individuals with barriers
to educational achievement including individuals with limited English proficiency.
The Student Support Services program was established to provide individual and
small group tutoring services to special populations’ students enrolled in or preparing
to enroll in career and technical programs. The purpose is to strengthen deficiencies in
basic academic skills and to provide support services to help facilitate the transition
from college to employment. The program is equipped with special materials for
strengthening mathematical, reading, language, and communication skills. These
educational services are provided for any Career and Technical Education student who
is identified as meeting the criteria for Special Populations.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Purpose
The purpose of the Emergency Medical Technology program is to adequately prepare
students to function as pre-hospital professional healthcare providers.
Program/Profession Description
The Emergency Medical Technician class (EMS 1117) is a one-semester instructional
program that prepares individuals to provide basic emergency medical care and
transportation for critically ill and injured patients who access the emergency medical
system. Emergency Medical Technicians function as part of a comprehensive EMS
response, under medical oversight, trained in airway management, communications,
documentation, general pharmacology, hemorrhage control, ambulance operations, and
splinting of adult, pediatric, and infant patients; and special care of patients exposed
to heat, cold, radiation, or contagious disease. Students who complete the program are
eligible to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians Exam and
become state certified.
After successful completion of the EMT course and upon credentialing by the National
Registry of EMT’s, students can then enter the last four semesters of Emergency
Technology to complete a technical certificate or an Associates of Applied Science,
respectively. Both options will earn the successful student a recommendation to National

Registry for Paramedic registration.
The Paramedic is an allied health professional whose primary focus is to provide
advanced emergency medical care for critical and emergent patients who access the
emergency medical system. This individual possesses the complex knowledge and
skills necessary to provide patient care and transportation. Paramedics function as
part of a comprehensive EMS response, under medical oversight. Paramedics perform
interventions with the basic and advanced equipment typically found on an ambulance.
The paramedic is a link from the scene into the health-care system.
Paramedics possess the knowledge, skills, and attitudes consistent with the expectations
of the public and the profession. Paramedics recognize that they are an essential
component of the continuum of care and serve as a link into healthcare resources.
Paramedics strive to maintain high quality, reasonable cost health care by delivering
patients directly to appropriate facilities. As an advocate for patients, paramedics seek
to be proactive in affecting long-term health care by working in conjunction with other
provider agencies, networks, and organizations. The emerging roles and responsibilities
of the paramedic include public education, health promotion, and participation in injury
and illness prevention programs. As the scope of service continues to expand, the
paramedic will function as a facilitator of access to care, as well as an initial treatment
provider.
Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians are responsible and accountable to
medical direction, the public, and their peers. Paramedics recognize the importance of
research and actively participate in the design, development, evaluation, and publication
of research. Paramedics seek to take part in life-long professional development and peer
evaluation, and they assume an active role in professional and community organizations.
The paramedic education program is a postsecondary program drawing its students
from individuals already possessing a valid EMT state certification and having Anatomy
and Physiology I with a grade of C or better. Students must complete Anatomy and
Physiology I & II with a grade of “C” or better, and the EMS prefixed courses with a
grade of “B” or better, to be eligible to complete the program.
Classroom instruction is comprehensive including a working knowledge of all anatomy,
physiology, and pathophysiological processes as well as competency-based instruction
in assessment and management skills required for treatment of life-threatening problems
in the adult, pediatric, and geriatric patient. Clinical internship requires participation in
care of patients in a hospital emergency department that provides medical control to ALS
providers in the field and, according to availability, CCU, ICU, labor and delivery suite,
operating room, psychiatric ward, pediatric ward, and geriatric ward. Field internship is
done with an ambulance service and/or rescue service providing advanced life support
services to the community.
The first semester consists of the EMT course and academic prerequisites. The
curriculum for the paramedic is four semesters beyond the EMT course. Classes are
admitted each summer on a competitive entrance basis.
To be eligible for an Associate’s Degree of Applied Science the student must
successfully complete Anatomy and Physiology I and II, College Algebra, English
Composition I & II, Oral Communications, Psychology, EMT course, and all paramedic
courses.
This education program is sanctioned by the Mississippi State Board of Health. The
course meets or exceeds those standards established by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration/U.S. Department of Transportation.
Accreditation
The Emergency Technology Program at Jones County Junior College is accredited by
the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.

CAD ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
COLLEGE PROGRAMS
CONTENTS
Purpose
CAD Engineering technologists provide drawings and plans used in construction and
production. They provide visual guidelines to demonstrate the construction of a structure
or product (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2009). Drafters fill in technical details using
drawings, rough sketches, specification, and calculations made by engineers, surveyors,
architects, or scientists. For example, many drafters use their knowledge of standardized
building techniques to draw in the details of structures. Some use their understanding
of engineering and manufacturing theory and standards to draw the parts of a machine;
they determine design elements, such as the numbers and kinds of fasteners needed to
assemble the machine (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2990). Most drafters prepare
plans and drawings with Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) systems.
Program Description
The CAD Engineering Technology curriculum allows students to obtain skills and
knowledge related to several fields of the drafting and design industry. The curriculum
is based on the State Framework which is based on national standards as developed by
the American Design Drafting Association. A combination of class work and laboratory
experience is stressed. Completion of 47 semester credit hours of course work in the
drafting program leads to a Technical Certificate. Completion of 62 semester credit
hours of course work in the drafting program leads to an Associate in Applied Science
Degree. The College placement policy guide will be used to determine the correct
placement in academic classes (English, Math, Reading, etc.). Developmental or basic
classes will not count toward the drafting program degree.
Program Length
Four semesters (beginning with fall semester)
Degree Offered
Must meet all general admission requirements. (See College Affairs Section) Promotion
Policy: All technical and academic classes of the CAD Engineering Technology
curriculum which is a prerequisite must be completed with a grade of “C” or better to
advance to the next level of classes. Graduation grade policy: All technical classes of the
CAD Engineering Technology curriculum must be completed with a minimum GPA of
“2.0” to complete graduation requirements. The overall GPA must also be a minimum
of “2.0” (See College Graduation Requirements)
