Accelerated/Dual Enrollment at Jeff State Com. College

Registration will begin April 15 for Jeff State's summer semester. Attention 10th and 11th graders! By enrolling as an Accelerated High School student, you can have the opportunity to gain college credits before you graduate from high school. These credits can transfer to Jeff State or to another postsecondary institution after you graduate from high school. To be eligible for the Accelerated High School program, students must meet the following criteria:
1) Student must have successfully completed the 10th grade.
2) Student must complete Jefferson State's Accelerated High School form, including signatures from the principal and counselor.
3) The student must have a minimum cumulative "B" average and be recommended for admission to the Accelerated program by the high school counselor and/or principal.

Summer classes begin May 23, so please complete your admission process as quickly as possible. You can also visit the Admissions Office at the Clanton campus for assistance with this.

Dual Enrollment classes will begin with the fall semester. This program allows high school students to take college courses and receive both high school and college credit. Jeff State will once again offer ENG 101 and 102 during the fall semester. Students interested in registering for these courses must have already completed 11th grade high school English.
To be eligible for the Dual Enrollment program, students must meet the following criteria:
1) Meet the entrance requirements established by JSCC.
2) Have a "B" average in completed high school courses.
3) Have written approval of the appropriate principal and the local superintendent of education as per the Dual Enrollment application.

Students registering for dual enrollment classes in the fall must submit their dual enrollment application, a copy of their high school transcript, along with ACT scores and their driver's license to the Admissions Office at the Clanton Campus. Students must have a minimum score of 20 on the English portion of the ACT test in order to be eligible for ENG 101 and 102. If the student does not meet this requirement, they have the option to take Jeff State's Compass Placement Test to determine eligibility. This test is given each Tuesday and Thursday between the hours of 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. There is no cost for this test.
Tuition for ENG 101 will be due at the time of registration ($426). Tuition for ENG 102 will be due at the start of the class which will occur mid-semester ($426). This tuition amount does not include books. The student will not receive credit for these courses until tuition is paid in full.
Fall registration begins mid-July, and classes will begin mid-August.
