John Tyler Community College is happy to offer home-schooled students ways to supplement their home-school curriculums or begin their college careers.  

If you have completed your home schooling and have the equivalent of a high school diploma, you should follow the admissions instructions for either new students seeking a degree or certificate or new students not seeking a degree or certificate, as appropriate. 

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


2. All home schooled students, regardless of age, and their parent or guardian must schedule an appointment with the Dean of Student Services by e-mailing cpfautz@jtcc.edu before you apply to the College.


3. 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.


4. Schedule your placement tests.
   John Tyler Community College generally requires placement tests in English and mathematics for all new concurrently enrolled students. For the COMPASS English and mathematics placement test, there is a $6.00 test administration fee that must be paid in advance at the College’s Business Office.

   Eligible SAT, CPT, or Work Keys scores may also be used for placement purposes. You can find out more about testing requirements as well as testing dates and times on our Testing Services Department page.

5. Provide the College with two letters: one from the responsible jurisdiction providing authorization for your family to engage in home-schooling and the other from your parents permitting you to enroll in the College. Please bring these letters with you to your appointment with the Counseling Office.


6. Schedule an appointment with counseling.
   Contact the Counseling Office to schedule your initial advising/registration session. When you come for your meeting, you will need to bring your two letters of permission with you. During your meeting, your counselor will talk about course options and help you register for classes. Please note that concurrently enrolled students cannot enroll online.
   


7. 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 regsiter. 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.

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