• Procedure for General Petition

  Purpose

  To provide students the option to appeal for a late refund, tuition credit, and or a late withdrawal due to extenuating circumstances.

  3. A Late Withdrawal Petition, due to extenuating circumstances, must be accompanied with supporting documentation and should only be filed after the last day to drop a course(s).

  4. Petitions must be filed online. You will have 10 business days to submit documentation to the appropriate office. If documentation is not received by the deadline the petition will be denied.

The results of these tests form the basis for awarding college credit to those students who have passed one or more tests with satisfactory scores. Students who have taken these examinations should request that their official scores be sent to the academic credentials specialist in the Registration and Records office.

  For more information on CLEP exams, please visit our Tests Administered page.

  To enroll, simply complete these steps:

  1. Complete a JJC application.
      
  2. Obtain your JJC username and password, which will allow you to access your JJC e-mail account and student portal.
      
  3. If the course(s) you want to take have prerequisites that you have met at your primary institution, please obtain an unofficial transcript showing prerequisite course(s) with passing grade or in progress.
     Be sure to confirm with your college or university that the courses you select to take at JJC will transfer back. 
      
  4. The pre-requisite(s) may be waived upon receipt of an unofficial transcript, allowing students to register online at my.jjc.edu. Department Chairs and Advisors will consider all prerequisite waivers on a case by case basis. View their contact information (PDF).
     
     NOTE: All prerequisite waivers are considered on a case by case basis and are not guaranteed.

     • Meet with an advisor. For your appointment, please bring in a copy of your unofficial transcript for review.
     • You may send your unofficial transcript to transfercredit@jjc.edu, along with your name, JJC ID number, and course name you are attempting to register for. (If you choose this method, your prerequisite waiver request may take between 4 and 6 weeks to post)
