Who is JCC+ɬÂþÌìÌà for?
JCC+ɬÂþÌìÌà is for students who are interested in earning a four-year degree at St. Bonaventure but who wish to begin their college studies at JCC. Students begin their enrollment at JCC and, after two years, transfer to St. Bonaventure University to complete their degree.
Where can I live?
A predefined number of students enrolling in JCC+ɬÂþÌìÌà may reside on St. Bonaventure’s campus, at JCC’s main campus in Jamestown, or, in the case of local students, potentially live at home. Please be aware that your major may influence your residential options as some academic programs are not available at both JCC campuses in Olean and Jamestown. Available residential space on campus will determine the number of spaces open to JCC+ɬÂþÌìÌà students.
What courses will transfer?
The JCC+ɬÂþÌìÌà program is designed to provide academic advising for your time at JCC and St. Bonaventure simultaneously. Because of this, we will recommend courses that will transfer. For students who complete the associate’s degree (AA or AS) at JCC, 60 credit hours are guaranteed to transfer into ɬÂþÌìÌÃ. Students must remain in good academic standing at JCC and have above a 2.25 cumulative GPA to transfer to St. Bonaventure. Please note: GPA requirements are higher for ɬÂþÌìÌÃ’s teacher certification programs.
