How Jacks Jumpstart Works

Jacks Jumpstart allows eligible students to start at Angelina College as Roadrunners and return to SFA as Lumberjacks—often in as little as one semester.

Step 1: Be Identified and Opt In Through SFA (Required)

Students are invited to Jacks Jumpstart by SFA. If selected, students must complete SFA’s opt-in form by their deadline to participate.

Step 2: Complete Coursework at Angelina College

After opting in, students enroll at Angelina College and complete:

  • 15–30 transferable core credit hours (online or on campus in Lufkin, Texas)
  • A minimum 2.0 GPA on completed coursework
  • College readiness requirements

Step 3: Submit Transcript to SFA

Once coursework is complete, students submit their official Angelina College transcript to SFA.

Eligible students may then return to SFA within one academic year without submitting a new application.
