Jacksonville College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
The standout number at Jacksonville College is not the 100% acceptance rate, but the 33% freshman retention rate. Treat admission as the starting point: ask how you will stay on track, what support you will use, and whether the cost works for you. Since it is test-optional, submit scores only if they strengthen your readiness story.

What you'll actually pay
Jacksonville College is a private not-for-profit, so the same rate applies to all students. Tuition and fees are $8,850, and students should submit the FAFSA by the April 15 priority deadline to be considered for financial aid.

Jacksonville College’s listed tuition and fees plus room and board come to about $16,650 per year. Because it is a private not-for-profit college, a student’s final bill will depend heavily on institutional, federal, and state aid, as well as choices like housing and personal expenses. Families should compare the listed price with any financial aid offer to estimate the actual out-of-pocket cost.
