JumpStart to SRJC
What is JumpStart?
JumpStart is a program to help new students make a smooth transition from high school to the community college, The JumpStart Program prepares SRJC-bound students for community college throughout their Senior year of high school. The JumpStart program was piloted for the first time through Casa Grande High School, where the initial idea was born. JumpStart is recognized as a Student Success Program designed for High School Seniors.
Benefits of JumpStart
Research shows that students who complete this early college preparation process (Orientation, Assessment, and Education Plan) are more successful in achieving their educational and career goals. In addition, completing these steps will provide students with priority registration and prepare them for their first official semester at SRJC. Students will also become familiar with SRJC programs, services, and resources to help them be successful at and beyond SRJC.
