The safety and well-being of our students, employees and community are always a top priority for John Tyler Community College. The college has a Health and Safety Team in place that is closely monitoring and assessing reports and guidance provided by the Governor’s Office; the Virginia Community College System; the Virginia Department of Health; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and other federal and state agencies and accrediting commissions. 

Current Status

Summer 2022 Semester

The college's summer semester includes on-campus, virtual, Zoom and hybrid classes. Student support services continue to be offered both remotely and on campus. For assistance connecting to the college’s support services, contact the Help Hub.

Those who come to campus must follow the college's safety protocols. As of March 14, 2022, per the Virginia Community College System, there is no requirement to wear a mask while inside buildings on community college campuses in Virginia. Those who wish to wear a mask are welcome to do so. The college will continue to provide free, disposable masks, including KN95 masks, which health experts say provide a greater level of protection. If you need or want a KN95 or other disposable mask, stop by the Security desk in the Nicholas Center (Chester Campus) or Administration Building (Midlothian Campus).

For the safety of our college community:

Those who come to campus should follow the college’s safety protocols. Masks are not required, but those who wish to wear one are welcome to do so.

Please do not come to campus if you:

  • Are ill, regardless of symptoms
  • Have symptoms consistent with COVID-19
  • Have been tested for COVID-19 and are awaiting results
  • Have recently been diagnosed with COVID-19
  • Have been exposed to someone with COVID-19


If you meet any of the above criteria: 

  • Students, including those enrolled in CCWA courses taught on Tyler's campuses, should contact the Dean of Students Office for guidance, and contact your instructor(s).  
  • Employees, including CCWA employees and CCWA contractors who work on Tyler's campuses; visitors; and contractors should contact Human Resources for guidance. Employees should also contact their supervisor.

Announcements and Updates

  • On February 24, 2022, Tyler was notified that a member of our college community has tested positive for COVID-19. The individual was last on the Chester Campus February 23. Based on information received about the case, no college buildings need to be closed. The college will continue to follow all its disinfecting protocols, which are based on CDC guidance.

  • A message from VCCS Chancellor Glenn DuBois

    Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff of Virginia’s Community Colleges:
    We are encouraged by indications we see, and evolving guidance from federal and state health officials, that the Omicron wave of the COVID-19 virus is receding in Virginia. As vaccination rates across the commonwealth increase and infection rates decrease, we believe the virus is transitioning from being a pandemic to being an endemic.

    Just as we took steps in response to the virus’s outbreak, we must be willing to adapt to changing conditions and ensure that our policies aimed at protecting the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff are calibrated appropriately to current conditions, and balanced with other community needs and considerations.

    Accordingly, I am suspending the mask mandate currently being observed by all students, faculty, staff, and visitors across every campus and facility of Virginia’s Community Colleges, effective Monday, March 14, 2022.

    To be clear: the decision to wear a mask on campus will still be welcomed, just no longer required. I urge everyone across our campus communities to take the necessary steps to protect themselves and others, including wearing a mask voluntarily; obtaining COVID-19 vaccination and booster shots; and testing and staying home when experiencing symptoms of illness.

    Indications are that the virus poses a low risk to healthy people who are fully vaccinated and boosted. However, some people in your college community remain vulnerable to the virus and will take additional steps to protect themselves. Some will continue to be more comfortable wearing a mask. Such a decision should be met with consideration, kindness, and respect.

    Our goal in responding to COVID-19 has been to impose as few restrictions as needed to protect the public health of our community colleges. That goal will guide our decision-making as we move forward too. Accordingly, should we encounter another wave of infections sweeping across Virginia, or the rise of a threatening new variant, I will consider reinstating this masking policy, or others, if needed.

    Meanwhile, please know how grateful I am for your hard work, along with the patience and flexibility that you have displayed throughout our encounter with COVID-19. You have made it possible for us to continue our pursuit of the community college mission at a time when it is needed by so many. Thank you for all that you do on behalf of Virginia’s Community Colleges.

    Sincerely,

    Glenn DuBois, Chancellor
    Virginia Community College System

  • Note: Announcement has been updated to correct study room information.

    Students- We are excited to kick off the Spring 2022 semester next week, however, the start of the semester is going to be a bit different. Due to the current spread of COVID-19 and with the health and safety of you, our employees and the college community in mind, classes and services will primarily be remote from January 18 – 29. What does this mean?

    CLASSES

    With few exceptions and unless your instructor notifies you of other arrangements:

    • On-campus classes: On-campus classes will be held remotely on their scheduled dates and times through Zoom.
    • Hybrid classes: Any on-campus meeting dates scheduled between January 18 – 29 will happen remotely through Zoom.
    • Virtual and Zoom Classes: There is no change to classes already scheduled to be virtual or taught on Zoom.

    Please monitor your college email and your classes in Canvas for important updates from your instructors. Zoom links are expected to be posted on the first day of the scheduled class meeting.   

    STUDENT SERVICES

    • The college’s student services offices will continue to primarily offer remote support during the weekdays through January 29.
    • There will be limited staff on campus, so students are strongly encouraged to access these services remotely for more efficient assistance.
    • These offices will offer expanded hours the first few days of the semester. From January 18 – January 20, student services will be available 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. (Important note: Offices will only be offering services remotely from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. these days.)

    NEED ACCESS TO A COMPUTER, THE INTERNET OR A QUIET PLACE TO WORK?

    Students who need to use a computer, connect to the internet or need a quiet place to access their classes or college services, may use the following computer labs and classrooms Monday – Thursday from 7:45 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

  • Students- Due to the current spread of COVID-19, the college’s student services offices will be open remotely on weekdays, from January 3-14, to assist students who are registering or paying for spring semester classes. At a minimum, virtual hours will be 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. with extended hours (until 7:00 p.m.) January 10-13.

    Very limited staff will be available on each campus during this time period. So, for faster, better, and safer support, we strongly encourage students use our remote services. Students who need access to a computer or the internet may use the computer labs (M-F between 8 – 5) in Moyar Hall, M218 (Chester) or Hamel Hall, H204 (Midlothian).

    As a reminder, classes start January 18!

    To Register for Spring Classes: Log into the Student Information System (SIS) in myTyler. If you need additional class registration assistance, email Admissions and Records at admissionsandrecords@jtcc.edu.

    To Pay for Classes: Payment is due on or before January 18, or students WILL BE DROPPED from classes! Please plan accordingly. Students may pay for classes online with a credit or debit card by logging into SIS in myTyler and using the Enterprise system. Information about the college’s payment plan and other payment options may be found on the Pay Your Tuition section of the college’s website.

    Support Services: Need technical support? Help with financial services? Advising? Have a question, but don’t know who to ask? Staff in our Help Hub are available to assist you.

    Additional information about services available to students remotely will be sent early next week. We are glad you selected Tyler becoming Brightpoint for your spring courses. Happy New Year!
