Steps to Enrollment at JCC

1. Apply for admission.

Complete an application for admission in Student Services or through the Johnston Community College website.

2. Submit official transcripts.

Have all official transcripts, including high school, GED, and college transcripts sent to: Admissions Office, Johnston Community College, PO Box 2350, Smithfield, NC 27577. In addition, applicants should also send Advanced Placement test scores, SAT scores (if not on high school transcript), and placement test results from another community college if college transcripts do not reflect placement.

Official transcripts must come directly from the school or be submitted in an officially sealed envelope (transcripts are not considered official if the sealed envelope has been opened).

You should use the JCC Request for Transcript form to request that all official transcripts, secondary and postsecondary, be mailed to the Admissions Office by the application deadline date.

3. Complete a placement test.

Applicants who need to take a placement test will be notified by letter or email, but only after the JCC application and all transcripts have been received. Some applicants may not be required to take the placement test, although this can only be determined once all transcripts have been received and reviewed.
