Full-Time Friday classes blend online and on-campus instruction

John Tyler Community College students juggling busy work, family and college schedules now have a new option when it comes to planning their classes. It’s called Full-Time Fridays, and it allows students to earn up to 15 hours of general education credits by coming to campus only on Fridays.

These classes cover a variety of subjects from biology and history to English and math. Most Full-Time Friday classes are hybrid courses; they blend online and on-campus instruction. So, for most of the classes, you’ll come to campus for an hour and fifteen minutes once a week and then do the rest of the classwork online. Students can sign up for one to five Full-Time Friday classes; it’s up to the student and their schedule. For a list of all the Full-Time Friday classes being offered during the Fall 2011 semester, go to www.jtcc.edu/schedule. Students can also learn more by watching our video about Full-Time Fridays at www.youtube.com/johntylercommcollege.

Students may sign up for Full-Time Friday classes and all John Tyler courses during the college’s general registration period, which runs July 11 through Aug. 19. A complete list of all classes may be found at www.jtcc.edu/schedule. Students already enrolled at the college may register online using the Student Information System found at www.jtcc.edu/myTyler. They also may register in person at either the Chester Campus, located at 13101 Jefferson Davis Highway, or the Midlothian Campus, located at 800 Charter Colony Parkway.

Individuals interested in attending John Tyler but not enrolled at the college must first submit an application for admission. Those who applied to the college but did not attend classes in the past year must reapply to John Tyler. The application for admission may be found online at www.jtcc.edu, or it may be picked up at the Chester or Midlothian campuses. There is no application fee.

Tuition and fees are $119 per credit hour for Virginia residents and $310.60 per credit hour for out-of-state residents. All students must pay a comprehensive fee of $25. All tuition and fees are due by 5:00 p.m. on the Friday of the week in which a student registers. For more information about tuition and fees at John Tyler, visit www.jtcc.edu/tuition.
