Returning Student: Steps to Enrollment

A student who was previously enrolled at TJC and who has been out of school longer than two consecutive semesters (Fall or Spring semesters) must re-apply.

Apply to TJC

Submit application at tjc.edu/apply and complete all admissions requirements.

Apply to Live on Campus

Join the over 1,200 students living on campus. Rooms go quickly so apply and complete a separate Housing application early. Members of a TJC-affiliated team or group (Athletics, Band, Belles, Honors) must complete an application but do have rooms blocked by sponsors and coaches. Visit the Residential Life and Housing page for complete information and to apply.

Turn in Vaccination Form

All students under the age of 22 taking classes at any TJC location (TJC Central Campus, TJC West, TJC North, Jacksonville or Rusk) must submit Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination forms.

Apply for Selective Admission (only certain programs)

Admission to TJC does not guarantee admission to a specific School of Nursing and Health Professions program. The number of students admitted to each of these programs is limited. 

Apply for Financial Aid & Scholarships

TJC can assist you in applying for financial aid, scholarships and veterans’ benefits. Vocational/technical students may also be eligible for a Perkins Grant. Start this process early in the calendar year and be mindful of deadlines. 

Get Advised

Once you’ve applied and been accepted to TJC, you can speak with an advisor to determine which courses to take. Transfer students are not required to meet with an advisor before class registration.
