Keep The Ball Rolling

Classes to start January 20

The College is currently closed as our employees are enjoying the holiday season with their families and will reopen January 5th at 8am.

While the college is closed, please remember there are still a few items you can do to be prepared for the start of classes on January 20th.

Here is your to-do list to get started at JWCC.
(It’s not too bad.) Let us know if you have any questions along the way.

TRANSCRIPTS- Request transcript from your high school or GED transcript from regional office of education. Many schools have online request forms. Send copy to transcripts@jwcc.edu 

College Transcripts (if applicable): Request transcripts from any college you have attended. College transcripts must be sent from your college directly to JWCC. Electronic transcripts preferred.

FINANCIAL AID File the FAFSA application to see if you qualify for state and federal grants (that don’t have to be paid back) to help pay for college costs (this also qualifies you for educational loans). For classes starting in January, you will want to complete the 2025-26 FAFSA application. (use your 2024 tax information) It can take 5 days to process, so complete this step as soon as possible. JWCC School Code: 012813
