Jump Start College Student Handbook

Students may use the Student handbook as a guide in their college experience. The Student Handbook provides information on eligibility, college resources, inclement weather, financial aid, and much more.

Academic Advising & Access

Jump Start students enroll in courses each semester with the support and approval of one of our Outreach Advisors or their appointees. Additionally, counseling and career planning services are available.

Canvas: Grade Reporting

WNC Jump Start instructors use a platform called Canvas for grade reporting, and in some cases it is used to communicate announcements regarding assignments and course resources. Canvas provides access to both online and flex courses.

Library & Media Services

Students may use the Joe Dini Library and Student Center on the WNC Carson Campus for research, study and computer access.

Students in the Fallon area may use the Beck Library on the WNC Fallon Campus.

WNC Bookstore

The online bookstore offers more than just textbooks—shop for Wildcat gear, gifts, school supplies, trinkets, and more, all from the comfort of your home!

Disability Support Services

Jump Start College students may use the services provided by the Disability Support Services office, whose philosophy is to empower students to be successful in obtaining their educational goals. By providing necessary support, the DSS office can help you attain your academic, vocational and personal goals at WNC. Disability Support Services (DSS) provides qualified students with disabilities equal access to higher education through academic support services, technology and advocacy in order to promote their independence, retention and graduation.
