PJC announces registration, closures and new events
November 26, 2024 – Paris Junior College is holding two fall graduation ceremonies on December 13, one at 1:00 p.m. for those graduating with their certificates or associate of applied science degrees, and the second one at 4:00 p.m. for those graduating with an associate of arts, associate of science, or associate of arts in teaching degrees. Both will be held in the Hunt Center on the Paris campus.
Winter mini-term and the spring semester are fast approaching at Paris Junior College, and students wishing to register should be aware of holiday closures. PJC reopens after the Thanksgiving holiday on Monday, Dec. 2 and remains open until December 13, when the College closes for Winter Break. PJC re-opens on Monday, January 6, 2025, and the first day of spring semester is Monday, January 13.
The winter mini-term offers three-week, online classes that include many courses from the state’s core curriculum that transfer to university. They start on December 16, 2024 and end on January 3, 2025.
New students have a few steps to complete before signing up for classes, so it’s important to start now. They must first apply to be admitted to PJC. This includes submitting their transcript, Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 (TSIA2) scores, bacterial meningitis shot records, and meeting with an advisor. Their advisor helps them sign up for classes and sets up their orientation to show them how to be successful in college.
Last chance registration for spring will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the PJC-Sulphur Springs Center on Tuesday, Jan. 7, PJC-Greenville Center on Wednesday, Jan. 8, and at the Paris campus on Thursday, Jan. 9.
