Frequently Asked Questions Do parents have access to student information? The Department of Education’s Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of education records and establishes the right of students to review their records. Any student enrolled at Jones Junior College assumes the rights formerly accorded parents unless he/she is a dependent under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. Jones Junior College assumes that all students are independents unless otherwise notified by the student within five (5) calendar days after the completion of the registration process. Is class attendance mandatory? Regular class attendance is a requisite if students are to succeed in their classes. All students are expected to attend class meetings regularly and promptly. When absences become excessive, the student will be withdrawn from that class with a “W”. (Please refer to the Student Handbook for specific information on absences.) The student may appeal to the Office of Student Affairs for readmission. The Dean will either render a decision or the appeal will be sent to the Student Affairs Committee. All appeals for re-entering must be made immediately. What types of scholarships are available? Scholarships are available to Jones students from a wide variety of sources. The following is a list of some of the scholarships available to our students: ACT - Academic Excellence - Career and Technical Excellence – Junior Miss/ Miss Hospitality - Service scholarships include annual staff/newspaper, athletics, band, cheerleader, and choir. These are based on tryouts, auditions, and number of scholarships available. How much does it cost to attend Jones? For current fees, please refer to Tuition and Fees on the JCJC website at www. jcjc.edu. Do parents receive copies of student grades? No. Students are notified of mid-term and final grades through the JC Portal located on the JC web page. What are the differences between grants, loans, and scholarships? Scholarships and grants are both considered “gift-aid” awards. In other words, they do not have to be paid back. On the other hand, loans require future repayment. All scholarships, grants, and loans have certain requirements. For more information on the types of financial aid available at Jones, go to Financial Aid on the Home page or contact the Financial Aid Office at 601-477- 4040.

According to the American College Health Association, the top 5 reasons for poor academic performance are: Excessive Absences – Stress – Sickness - (Cold, flu, sore throat, etc.) – Concerns about family and friends – Relationship difficulties Who advises students on class schedules? Each student is assigned a faculty advisor with whom he/she will meet periodically. Advisors assist students by helping to plan a schedule, by providing career information, and encouraging academic endeavors. Students retain their advisors for the duration of enrollment at Jones. Students wishing to change their majors should do so on the Jones homepage at jcjc.edu. Academic Calendar 2013-2014 • Frequently Asked Questions
