Jones County Junior College Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

Jones College's ADN program states TEAS results "will be accepted for submission for 2 consecutive application periods," meaning a strong score taken this cycle can carry you through the next cycle if you're not selected the first time - but planning beyond that window requires a retest. Schedule your TEAS test with this two-cycle validity window in mind, registering at least 24 hours in advance since Jones explicitly does not grant deadline exceptions if a testing session fills.

Jones College's admission scoring gives point credit for holding certifications such as EMT, Paramedic, HCA (Home Care Aide), Pharmacy Tech, Radiography, or LPN - meaning a student with prior healthcare work experience has a documented, scored advantage over one without it. If you have any allied-health certification, however tangential it seems to nursing specifically, include full documentation with your application rather than assuming only direct nursing experience counts.

Jones states plainly that "applications submitted without ACT scores, Nursing Entrance Test (ATI TEAS) results, and all college transcripts...attached will not be considered for entry into program," and separately flags that transcripts must show grades and GPA posted for every semester the applicant attended, at every institution - partial transcript submission is treated as a fatal, not fixable-later, error. Build a document checklist first (ACT, TEAS, every transcript from every institution attended) and confirm completeness before the March 1 (fall) or October 1 (spring) deadline, since Jones enforces zero grace period after these dates.

Jones references a specific "Launch program" that students returning to the nursing program after a prior withdrawal or non-completion must go through before reapplying - this is a distinct administrative step, not simply resubmitting a new application. If you previously started but didn't finish Jones' ADN program, contact the Nursing Department Administrative Assistant directly to confirm Launch program requirements before assuming a standard reapplication is sufficient.
