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.

For additional information, contact the Jones Recruiting Office 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 F I N A N C I A L I N F O R M AT I O N CONTENTS 40 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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. F I N A N C I A L I N F O R M AT I O N 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. JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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. F I N A N C I A L I N F O R M AT I O N CONTENTS 42 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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. Priority Date The Financial Aid Priority Date for JCJC is generally April 1 each year. Information must be processed by the federal office, and all necessary paperwork must be submitted to the JCJC Financial Aid Office by this date. Program of Study Students are expected to enroll in courses pertaining to their college major. Transfer Students Credit hours from previous postsecondary accredited college(s) will be counted. Transfer students seeking a degree at JCJC are eligible to receive financial aid if eligibility requirements are met. Transient/Guest Students Please contact the JCJC Financial Aid Office for additional information. Withdrawals Withdrawals will be calculated as hours attempted but will not be used to calculate the GPA. F I N A N C I A L I N F O R M AT I O N CONTENTS Rules and regulations are subject to change.

COLLEGE AFFAIRS CONTENTS 48 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 49 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). JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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. INSTRUC TIONAL AFFAIRS CONTENTS 50 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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. INSTRUC TIONAL AFFAIRS 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 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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 -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 INSTRUC TIONAL AFFAIRS CONTENTS 54 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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. Online Hybrid 100% online 75% online Uses JCJC Canvas server 25% in face-to-face classroom meetings Main communications method: email Uses Jones’ Canvas server Testing - some minor tests online; Main communications method: email major tests are proctored Testing normally completed in Charges: normal tuition classroom and $30 state fee Charges: normal tuition Eligible for financial aid Eligible for financial aid (based on normal rules) (based on normal rules) onDemand (flexible/short term classes) 4 and 8 week options available INSTRUC TIONAL AFFAIRS CONTENTS GRADING SYSTEM Grades and Credit Hours JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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.

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.

Dunlap, Ms. M. Eubanks, Ms. K. Guiles, Ms. J. Hart, Ms. N. Johnson, Dr. V. Johnson, Ms. L. Keay, Ms. P. Pierce, Dr. T. Sanchez, 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.

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 Division of Fine Arts CONTENTS 78 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 79 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. MUSIC EDUCATION/PERFORMANCE (Music and Liberal Arts Core; see specific emphases for applied courses.)

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.

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.

VETERINARY MEDICINE COLLEGE PROGRAMS Division of Science CONTENTS “Pre-veterinary medicine” is NOT an undergraduate major. Students will need to select an academic major in order to earn a bachelor’s degree in preparation for application to this professional program. Most students interested in these careers major in a scientific field (biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, animal science, poultry science, etc.), but students can major in any field as long as application requirements are met according to the professional school’s specifications. The curriculum below is based on application requirements at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University. Students should consult with the school of their choice for specific guidelines, GPA requirements, etc. Any veterinary program will require superb academic performance, a rigorous core of math and science courses, and a demonstrated interest in animal health.

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 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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 COLLEGE PROGRAMS CONTENTS 126 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 127 COLLEGE PROGRAMS CONTENTS 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.

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 COLLEGE PROGRAMS Division of Health and Human Services CONTENTS 156 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 157 COLLEGE PROGRAMS Division of Health and Human Services CONTENTS 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 JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE course meets or exceeds those standards established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration/U.S. Department of Transportation.

CAD ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE PROGRAMS Division of Industrial Services 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. JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 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 Associate in Applied Science Admission Requirements 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.
