The college admissions process can be overwhelming, but we are here to help you through the deadlines and paperwork.  We have also put together an Admissions Checklist to make sure you don't forget the most important items.  Download this list and put it in your car, on your refrigerator, or on your bulletin board! 

A great way to get to know Jefferson College is with an individual visit to campus. Meet and talk with students and professors and tour the skills labs. Take a tour of our residence hall and see our student apartments (they’re great!). See all that the Roanoke community and the Roanoke Valley area of Virginia have to offer.

Your JCHS visit will include an interview with your admissions counselor and a campus tour. Visits may be scheduled for Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the calendar year. We encourage every prospective student to visit us and tour the College. In just about an hour you can talk with a counselor and tour the residence hall, classrooms, learning resource center, and laboratories.

If you would like to meet with a faculty member from a specific department, please let us know. Come see for yourself!
