Tyler Junior College has announced New Student Orientation sessions for students entering TJC in the fall 2021 semester.
“New Student Orientation is a great introduction to life at TJC and offers our new Apaches an opportunity to register early for their fall semester classes,” said Murphy Turner, TJC’s assistant director of admissions.
The program is one day with no overnight component. Sessions are available on-campus or online on the following dates:
On-Campus:

By attending orientation before their first semester, new TJC students can:
- Become familiar with TJC’s 145-acre campus
- Gain more information about academic programs, student resources and student life
- Meet with advisors and create their personal fall schedule
- Make connections with fellow new students
There is no cost to attend new student orientation and each student is able to bring one parent with them should they choose to do so.
