Student Portal (MyJEC360)

MyJEC360 is a new online platform for students to access information anytime and anywhere once you are connected to the Internet.

Platforms for Paying Fees

With the utilization of technology, fees can now be paid stress-free. Aside paying fees through the School Fees Payment System at Cal Bank, Ecobank, GCB Bank or HFC Bank only, college fees and other monies can be paid through MTN Mobile Money. Simply walk into any MTN Service Centre or any branch of Access Bank, ADB, Cal Bank, Ecobank, Fidelity Bank, GT Bank, Stanbic Bank, UBA, Universal Merchant Bank and Zenith Bank, nationwide to pay your fees and get an official MTN Mobile Money receipt.

With the exception of school fees, other monies relating to requests for attestation/introductory letter, transcript, graduation fees, JEC paraphernalia, etc. can be paid either at any branch of Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans or through the MTN Mobile Money, unless otherwise stated.

With all these avenues in place, students who fail to pay their fees in full will not have their semester academic results released to them.

 

Opportunities

With Jackson College of Education, life got even better. You can now access the Student’s Loan Trust Fund (SLTF), enroll for National Service and have the chance to be employed as a professional teacher. You can also be gainfully employed even as you study. The Diploma certificate awarded can also be used to access GES appointments or to do further studies for a degree with other universities.

There are opportunities to earn some token as you promote and market the institution to others. As part of the admission process for the 2015/2016 academic year, students are also given the opportunity to introduce or refer others to the institution to earn a token. Anyone you recommend to apply online must complete an online application survey which demands the information of the person who encouraged them to apply. The applicant must enter your correct full name, telephone number and index number/student number into the survey. This attracts a commission of Five Ghana Cedis (GHS 5.00) per applicant.

 

Student’s Loan Trust Fund

The Student’s Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) has replaced the traditional Teacher Trainee Allowance Scheme that was in place for Teacher Trainees in the regular colleges of education. Luckily for JEC students, the institution has been fully integrated with the Student’s Loan Trust Fund and JEC students have been given equal chances as students from the regular colleges of education to apply for the loan. This stems from the fact that JEC is fully accredited by the National Accreditation Board and runs a Diploma in Basic Education programme which is also fully accredited. This gives our students a rare opportunity over students of many other private institutions.

Loan applications are usually opened in the month of September and end in July of the following year. Currently, the 2015/2016 Loan Application has been opened, effective 1^st September, 2015. The loan facility is given each academic year and as such students whose applications are approved at first year can enjoy the facility three times. Students whose loans are granted will not have to apply again the following year but will receive the loan amount each year till they complete the course.

The Student’s Loan Trust Fund will give you two clear years after graduation before you will be required to repay the loan. The JEC SRC presidents are trained to serve as Loan Ambassadors at their respective centres. The SRC presidents as well as Staff Liaison Officers from the Head Office are to guide students to access the Student’s Loan Trust Fund.
