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.

When your application is processed, a service indicator will be placed on your account, and you will not be able to register for classes until you have taken your placement tests and meet with a counselor.

3. 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.

4. Apply for financial aid.
   If you are applying for financial aid, fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.  Meeting the deadlines established by the Financial Aid Office at John Tyler will help ensure that you will be considered for the maximum amount of aid and that your funding will be in place in a timely manner. Please note that students who are not curriculum-placed at John Tyler and seeking a degree or certificate are not eligible for financial aid.


5. Schedule an appointment with counseling.
   Contact the Counseling Office to schedule your initial advising/registration session.  During your meeting, your counselor will review your placement tests and talk about how you might benefit from instruction, talk about your program options and requirements, and help you register for classes using myTyler.


6. Pay your tuition and fees. 
   John Tyler Community College does not generate bills for tuition and fees.  Unless you have sufficient financial aid in place to cover your expenses, 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. 

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