John Tyler Community College is dedicated to offering educational opportunities to members of our community at affordable tuition rates.  Rates at John Tyler typically run about one-third less than the average tuition rate of Virginia's four-year institutions.  Starting with the Spring 2010 term, the following tuition and fee rates apply: 

The e-Rate is applicable to designated distance-learning courses delivered entirely over the Internet. Tuition rates include a $5.50 per credit hour technology fee. Virginia residents are exempt from the $10.00 per credit hour capital fee. The contract rate is for students who do not qualify for in-state tuition rates and are enrolled in classes provided in a contract between their employers and John Tyler where the employer agrees to pay the students' tuition directly to the College. The contract rate is only applicable to Virginia employers; any employers that are physically located outside of Virginia and choose to send employees to John Tyler will be billed at out-of-state tuition rates.

Please note that tuition and fees are set by the State Board for Community Colleges and are subject to change.

The College has set the following payment schedule for the Spring 2010 General Registration period:

Online payments may be made with Visa and MasterCard at any time, starting on November 16 using the Student Information System in myTyler. Starting November 16, payments may be made in person, Monday – Friday at the Business Office on either campus. Click here for Business Office hours.

Payment of Tuition and Fees

Normally, all tuition and fees are due by 5:00 p.m. on the Friday of the week you register. Payment dates vary during late registration periods. John Tyler Community College does not generate bills for tuition and fees, and students are responsible for paying their tuition and fees as required (generally this is 5:00 p.m. on the Friday of the week they register). Students not paying all calculated tuition and fees by the payment due date will be dropped from class rolls. Please make plans now to have funds ready for your tuition and fees at the beginning of the semester.  If you are interested, the College does offer the NBS Tuition Payment Plan.

For more information about tuition and fees payments, please read our Payment Policy Frequently Asked Questions.

• To help meet students' educational expenses, John Tyler has partnered with NBS to offer a monthly tuition payment plan.  For a non-refundable fee, the NBS Tuition Payment Plan allows you to have your tuition and fees payment automatically deducted from your checking or savings account or charged to your credit card. 

• The College accepts payments via cash, check, Visa and MasterCard for tuition and fees payments.  Visa and MasterCard payments can be made through myTyler. Cash, check and money order payments must be made in person at the College’s Business Office.  If you pay online, your credit card information is retained for refund purposes only.

• Students will be charged $15 for checks returned due to "insufficient funds," regardless of "stop payment orders" placed by their banks.

• If your employer is paying for your classes, you must submit a purchase order or written authorization from your employer so that your employer can be billed and the College can process payment for tuition and fees.  This purchase order or authorization must be received by the Friday of the week you register.
