HISTORICAL SKETCH Jones County Junior College had its beginning as an agricultural high school in 1911 with an enrollment of eighty-five students and a faculty of five. In 1924 the Mississippi Legislature authorized the extension of courses offered in county agricultural high schools to include courses of college level. In 1927 Jones County Agricultural High School was one of then of the approximately fifty county agricultural high schools of the state offering some college work. The early campus centered on an administration and classroom building. All members of the 1927-1928 class were personally recruited by Mr. M. P.

Maximum time frame of attendance in which the student must complete the degreerequirements.

FINANCIAL AID WARNING Financial Aid Warning This status is assigned to a student the first time it is determined they have failed to meet the SAP standards based on the level of enrollment. For each SAP measurement (GPA, Completion Rate, and 84 hours for Maximum Time frame), the first violation will result in the student receiving a warning. Students are only given one semester of warning for not meeting SAP standards during their enrollment at JCJC. Financial Aid Suspension This status is assigned to a student that does not meet the SAP standards for a subsequent semester based on their level of enrollment. When a student is determined to be on suspension, their financial aid eligibility will be revoked or denied..

Adding and dropping courses before and after the census date may affect financialaid award amounts.Determination of Need The information submitted on the FAFSAwill be used in a federally mandated calculationthat determines what portion of students “cost of attendance” can be met through thestudents’ (and in the case of dependent students, the parents) resources. This figure isthen subtracted from the cost of attendance during the appropriate period of enrollment.“Cost of attendance” is based on average costs for tuition and fees, room and board(even for commuter students), books and supplies, transportation, and miscellaneouspersonal expenses. This figure minus the expected family contribution (EFC) equals thedocumented limit for need-based financial aid. Once the documented limit is determined,awards are made by the Financial Aid Office based on the students’ eligibility for aidand the amount of need-based funds available. See calculation of financial need below: Cost of Attendance (COA) - Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial NeedDisbursement of Awards Federal, state, and other financial aid will be credited to the student’s account by theJCJC FAO.
