Welcome to Juniata College! We are so excited to partner with you as you begin your academic journey as a Juniata student. As a new student, you likely have questions about how you will schedule your classes for your first semester at JC. If you are a first-time college student, academic advisors will build a customized class schedule for you. If you are a transfer student, you will design your schedule in a one-on-one video conference or phone advising appointment with an advisor in your selected area of study. Watch your Juniata College email for emails from advising@juniata.edu with important communications regarding advising and class scheduling.

Also, there are several other tasks you may need to do:

• Submit transcripts of college courses. Request to have transcripts of any college courses you've completed before coming to Juniata sent to applications@juniata.edu. Transcripts must be official and come directly from the college or university that granted the credit for the courses, even if you took the classes in high school. This step is especially important for transfer students because we must receive all your transcripts before we can schedule your advising appointment.
  
  
• Submit AP or IB results. Request to have your official Advanced Placement score reports or International Baccalaureate transcripts sent to Juniata College. Again, these must be official and come directly from College Board or the International Baccalaureate organization.
  
  
• Take the world language placement assessment. If you have completed three or more years in high school of a world language offered by Juniata (French or Spanish) or are a heritage speaker of one of these languages, you should take the placement assessment for that language.
  • You will need to set up an account first, but you can skip entering your student ID number if you don’t have it handy.
  • Complete the test to the best of your ability without any outside assistance. We will receive your score report automatically.
  • If you have any questions about the placement recommendation after you’ve completed the test, contact Dr. Amy Frazier-Yoder, chair of the World Languages & Cultures Department, at fraziera@juniata.edu.

It is an exciting moment of transition, and we look forward to beginning our journey together! If you have questions about advising or registration prior to Orientation, don't hesitate to contact us at advising@juniata.edu.
