Applicants must submit national ACT scores to JSCC in order to apply to the Nursing
Program. Go to www.actstudent.org to select a testing date, location, and register for the ACT exam. Register early
as some test dates and locations might fill a month or more prior to the testing date. The
program uses the highest subscore in English, math, reading and science reasoning
sections of the national ACT. JSCC Nursing does not use the writing portion of the
ACT.
