5. What are the average GPA and SAT scores for freshmen?
   
   PJC is an open enrollment college, which means we accept students regardless of their GPA or test scores.  If students score a minimum of 440 in Reading, English and Math, then they will be eligible to begin college level courses with no other testing requirements. If you do not have ACT or SAT scores or your scores do not test you into college level courses, you will be required to take the Florida College Entry-Level Placement Test (FCELPT) at any of our PJC campus locations.
   
   
    

6. Do you need my ACT, SAT or CTP scores on file before I can register for classes?
   
   Yes, we need your scores on file before registration can take place. Also we need your application fee paid before you will be allowed to register.  Please view our Step-by-Step Getting Started Guide.
