Financial Aid

Jefferson State is switching from Blackboard to Canvas for 2024 fall semester courses. Fall semester students will use the myJSCC link on the JSCC homepage and their rapid identity account credentials to access Canvas.

  • Any fall semester student who has not claimed their A#@alabama.edu rapid identity account should do so immediately.
  • To claim your account, search for an email from [email protected] in the personal e-mail address you have on file in Banner. Please follow the instructions in the e-mail to claim your A#@alabama.edu account.

If you need any help or have any questions please contact the helpdesk at [email protected] or by calling (205) 856-6088. The [email protected] address is NOT spam or phishing, it is ACCS contacting you with instructions.

Our Mission

The philosophy of the Financial Aid office is that no student should be denied access to postsecondary education because of financial barriers. While the primary responsibility of paying for college lies with the student and the student’s family, Jefferson State Community College offers a variety of aid, such as grants, loans, scholarships, and work study to assist as many qualified students as possible. To be considered for federal student aid, students must be unconditionally admitted into an eligible degree-seeking program.

To begin the process to apply for Federal Financial Aid, you may complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at studentaid.gov.

Jefferson State Community College School Code: 001022

To Parents and Prospective Students:

Due to privacy regulations, a student’s information is exclusively discussed with the student. Students should regularly review “myJSCC” and student e-mail for financial aid status updates and notifications.
