jmc release updates boost the stability, performance, and security of your entire jmc toolkit, from jmc Office to jmc Student. Let’s take a look at what’s been released to you:


✅ For Minnesota schools that will be onboarding with MCCC to Ed-Fi in 2024, we have included new steps to complete in both the Prep and General tabs on Minnesota > Ed-Fi > Start Year that will help ensure successful data collection and reporting.

Want the full rundown on Ed-Fi reporting via jmc? Press play on this video.

✅ For Minnesota graduates who no longer wish to receive college planning information from Direct Admissions Minnesota, you can now opt them out of the Direct Admissions Minnesota process on the View Student Data page in the General tab.

✅ Minnesota schools will now be able to track licensed staff hiring and termination dates via the Licensed Staff page in order to stay compliant with STAR (STaff Automated Reporting) requirements.

jmc will also include these dates in Minnesota > STAR > Print Data and Minnesota > STAR > Capture Files.

To learn more about managing staff with jmc’s STAR module, read this Help Center article.

✅ For Iowa schools, we’ve updated the Export ESA Student Eligibility File to the latest format, so you can continue to seamlessly report your ESA (Education Savings Account) funding data to the IDE.
