We are excited that you have chosen to begin the application process for enrollment in Johnson Bible College. Our goal is to assist you with each step of the admissions process. For assistance, contact the Admissions Office at 1-800-827-2122.

The admissions policy of Johnson Bible College makes it possible to notify you of the admissions decision when all of your academic records and references have been received and reviewed by the admissions committee. Please be aware that the admissions decision takes into account your commitment to the Johnson lifestyle, application, high school/GED and/or college transcripts, three references, and/or the American College Test (ACT)/Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The College Catalog gives specific information regarding academic admission requirements.

A completed admissions file contains the following:
  • Commitment to the Johnson Lifestyle.
    Please read, complete, and return the Commitment to the Johnson Lifestyle form.
  • Enrollment Application and Fee
    Fill out the application and pay a $35 application fee.
  • Transcripts
    The application process cannot be completed until official transcripts have been received. To be official, transcripts must come directly from the high school or college to the Admissions Office at JBC.

New Freshman (never previously attended college): Use the Transcript Request Form to request your high school transcript be sent to JBC. Students who have not completed high school, but have received an equivalency diploma, may submit the GED scores in lieu of a high school transcript.

Transfer Students: Use the Transcript Request Form to request a transcript from your high school and from each college previously attended. Students who have not completed high school, but have received an equivalence diploma, may submit the GED scores in lieu of a high school transcript.
The transcript request form may be duplicated as needed.

  • Reference Forms
    You must list three references on the application. They are: 1. your minister; 2. most recent employer (or church leader if not employed); 3. High school teacher (or church leader if you have been out of high school more than five years). Please use another church leader if one of the references is a relative.
    Complete the top portion of each Applicant Reference Form. Then, give one form to each one of your references, asking them to send their form to the address provided at the bottom of the Reference Form.
  • ACT/SAT Test
    The American College (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is required for admissions to Johnson Bible College, unless you have a bachelor's degree. Check with your high school guidance counselor for a registration packet, test dates and test sites. Try to take it as early as possible. If you are unable to locate a registration packet, you may request one from the JBC Admissions Office.
  • Housing Application and Housing Deposit

Single Student Housing: Use the Single Housing Application to provide information to our head residents. Based on the information you supply, we will try to match you with a roommate whose interests are similar to yours.
When you send the Housing Application, be sure to include the $100.00 housing deposit. In the event you do not attend, this deposit will be refunded, provided notice of cancellation is given before August 1 for the fall semester and December 1 for the spring semester.

Family Housing: Use the Family Housing Application to request family housing on the campus of Johnson Bible College. Acceptance by the College for admission does not guarantee housing on campus.
When you send the Family Student Housing Application, be sure to include the $200.00 housing deposit. In the event you do not attend, this deposit will be refunded, provided notice of cancellation is given before August 1 for the fall semester and December 1 for the Spring semester.

  • Academic Selection Form
    Complete the Academic Selection form by checking one of the degree programs that best describes your current educational goal.
    The selection of a degree or specialty at this time does not mean that you cannot change after your arrival at Johnson Bible College. Most freshman students take identical courses the first year and begin their specializations in the sophomore year.
