Special Students

Students who are at least 18 years of age, have graduated high school or, obtained a GED, but do not wish to enter a degree or diploma program may enroll at JSCC as a ā€œspecial creditā€ student. This is also an option for students needing to take a class to transfer back to another college. Please review theĀ Admissions process to make sure you have completed the requirements for admissions. Students may accumulate twelve (12) credit hours before being required to choose a major. Special Credit students must meet all course prerequisites. If classes are taken at another college, an official transcript is required to award credit.Ā  Financial Aid is NOT available for Special Credit students.

Audit Students

Students who wish to audit courses must indicate to the advisor which course(s) they are auditing. Students who audit classes do not receive credit for courses taken, and class discussions, tests, and exams are optional at the discretion of the instructor. Students are expected to attend class regularly, and a notation of the audited class will be made on the studentā€™s permanent record represented by ā€œAUā€. Students should be aware that Financial Aid and Veteran benefits do not pay for audit courses. Audit courses do not transfer.

Student Policies

Change Address

If you need to update your mailing address, please send an email from your JSCC student email to Wanda Edwards at wedwards@jamessprunt.edu.Ā The email needs to include your student ID#, the previous address, and what it needs to be changed to. This same process can also be used to update the telephone information.

Dropping Classes

If you need to drop a class, this should be done before the end of Registration Day to avoid any charges for the course. Students that do not drop classes on Registration Day will be responsible for 25% of the cost of the course even if they never attend. Students, who have not attended class at least once by the 10% date, will be dropped by the instructor as ā€œnever attended.ā€

Withdrawal Policy

Students who must withdraw from one or more classes during the semester have the responsibility of notifying each instructor, using their JSCC email, to complete a withdrawal form. Courses in which grades of ā€œWā€ are received will not be counted as hours attempted and will not affect a studentā€™s grade point average. Students receiving financial aid should verify with that office the impact withdrawing may have on their financial aid funds.

Notification of withdrawal from a course must be received within ten (10) working days of the last date of attendance or as specified by the instructor in the course syllabus or the course instructor will withdraw the student and a grade of ā€œFā€ may be assigned for that course. Students may officially withdraw through the twelfth week of the semester (or 75% of the allotted time for any shorter session). Beyond the twelfth week (or after the 75% point), students may officially withdraw only when extenuating circumstances occur and such withdrawals must be approved by the appropriate Department Head.

Privacy Policy

As students, you need to understand your rights under the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
