Admissions

James Sprunt Community College operates an “Open Door” admissions policy that does not impose restrictive standards for admissions and is open to all those 18 or older or whose high school class has graduated. (Those between 16 and 18 years of age may be admitted when special needs are shown. Contact the Admissions Specialist). The College serves all students regardless of age, race, color, creed, sex, handicap or national origin. James Sprunt Community College is not approved for attendance of non-immigrant students with F, M or J visas. Students with other visas will be considered on an individual basis.

To apply for admission to James Sprunt Community College, follow these easy steps.

• Complete NC Residency Determination. Effective September 11, 2017, all applicants (with the exception of Duplin Early College High School and Career and College Promise applicants) must obtain a NC residency certification number (RCN) prior to completing and submitting an Admissions application.  JSCC will no longer be able to validate residency status for students or make any changes in residency status.  The North Carolina State Legislature has established the Residency Determination Service (RDS), which will serve as the single authority for determining whether a student qualifies for in-state or out-of-state tuition.
• Complete application for admissions. All applications are submitted online through CFNC.
• Request official transcripts from high school or high school equivalency/Adult High School to be sent to the Admissions Office.
• Optional: request official transcripts from any colleges that you have attended, if you would like to have them evaluated for possible transfer credit.
• Take the pre-enrollment placement test.
