Below are the steps new students who are not interested in earning a degree or certificate need to take to get started at John Tyler.

1. Familiarize yourself with the important dates and deadlines for admission. 


2. Apply online or pick up an Application for Admission.
   • Apply online.
   • Applications are also available at the Admission and Records Office in Moyar Hall, Room M101 in Chester or the Administration Building, Room B106 in Midlothian.
   
   
3. Schedule your courses and register.
   Explore our course schedule and decide which classes you would like to take.  Once you know, register for your classes online using myTyler.  Please note that even if you do not intend to enter a degree or certificate program, it is still your responsibility to satisfy all course and placement testing requirements prior to enrolling in courses with specific prerequisites. Additional information on course prerequisites can be found in our current course schedule. You can find out more about testing requirements as well as testing dates and times on our Testing Services Department page.


4. Pay your tuition and fees.
   John Tyler Community College does not generate bills for tuition and fees.  All tuition and fees are due by 5:00 p.m. on Friday of the same week you register.  If you do not pay for your classes by 5:00 p.m. on Friday the week you register, you will be dropped from your classes.  You must pay all mandatory fees – student activity fee, technology fee and student parking fee at the same time.  Partial payments (for example, paying for one class out of several classes or only paying a fractional amount of one class) are not sufficient to hold all classes.

   Tuition and fee payments may be made online through myTyler using a credit card.  Payments can also be made in person via check, cash, or credit card at the Business Office located in Room A102 in Goyne Hall in Chester or Room B115 in the Administration Building in Midlothian.  Please note that students who are not curriculum-placed and seeking a degree or certificate are not eligible for financial aid.
   

5. Purchase your textbooks.
   Textbooks for John Tyler Community College are available through www.jtccbooks.com or at the College’s bookstore locations.
