Please remember that this application is intended to be used by students who are ready to enroll in the upcoming semester. If you complete the application but do not attend the College that semester, your application will not be active for upcoming semesters. If you would like to apply to the College now, but not enroll until a future semester, you must notify the Admissions and Records office by e-mailing admissionsandrecords@jtcc.edu or mytylerhelpdesk@jtcc.edu or by calling 804-706-5096. When you contact us, you must provide your user ID (EmplID) and the semester you plan to enroll. If you who apply but do not enroll within one year (3 semesters), you must reapply to the College.

Below are some tips and reminders about the application process:

• Keying Information: Unless otherwise indicated, please key your information in upper/lower case format.

• Name Changes: If you have ever applied to a community college in Virginia for either credit/non-credit courses, you will have an existing EmplID tied to your name. If your name has changed since you originally applied, you will need to use the name you used to originally apply. For example: Your old name is Sandy K. Jones, and you applied 6/98. Your new name is Sandy K. Perkins, and you are applying 6/07. In order to apply online to John Tyler, you will need to apply as Sandy K. Jones. Then, you will need to bring proof of your name change to the Admissions and Records Office at the Chester or Midlothian Campus. Examples of approved name change documentation include: a VA driver's license, a marriage license, a divorce decree, or legal documentation for name change approved by the courts. Once this information has been received, your name change will be reflected in our system.

• Curriculum Placements: On your application you will be allowed to choose a program of interest. Please note, however, that your admission to John Tyler does not automatically result in your placement in your chosen curriculum. If you intend to pursue a degree or certificate at John Tyler, it is your responsibility to meet all curriculum admissions requirements by the deadline noted in the current schedule of classes. These requirements include:
  • providing John Tyler with official copies of transcripts from all colleges and universities you previously attended
  • satisfying placement testing requirements, by scheduling and taking placement testing tests at the College’s Testing Services Department
  • scheduling an appointment with the Counseling Office to be placed in an academic program

    If you plan to study allied health/nursing or funeral services, you must bring a sealed copy of your official high school transcript with you when you meet with the counselor. Otherwise, students are no longer required to submit high school transcripts for curriculum placement purposes.

• Registering for Courses: During a typical registration period, once you have completed the web application and received your username, you should be able to register for courses within four hours of completing an application.;

  To register for courses online, use the myTyler system. To login, enter your username, and then you will be required to enter a password, which is your birth date entered in the mmddyy format (for example: 021468). Once you are logged in to myTyler, you’ll find a tutorial to help guide you through the class registration process. Please remember that it is your responsibility to meet all placement testing and pre-requisite requirements before enrolling in courses.

  Please note that dual enrollment students, concurrently enrolled high school and home-schooled students, students who have been suspended from other institutions, and non-high school graduates cannot register online. They must make an appointment with the Counseling Office, in order to enroll in classes.

• Special cases: Please note that the College reserves the right to evaluate applications for admission and to refuse admission to applicants when it is considered to be in the best interest of the College or when there is sufficient reason to believe that applicants present a danger to themselves or to other members of the College community.
