Students With Disabilities

Tyler Junior College welcomes students with disabilities who have the potential for academic success in the post-secondary educational environment. To request accommodations, the student with a disability should arrange an appointment with a support services counselor to obtain the Request Accommodations Form (RAF). Appropriate documentation of physical or psycho/educational evaluation that meets TJC guidelines or a referral from an appropriate rehabilitation agency (such as Texas Rehabilitation Commission or the Texas Commission for the Blind) that clearly documents the disability and supports the need for accommodations must be submitted before any accommodations can be arranged. The deadline for applying for assistance with the support services office is normally four weeks prior to the beginning of the initial semester of enrollment, to allow time for review and adequate coordination of services. The deadline for applying for subsequent continuous semesters of enrollment is two weeks prior to the beginning of regular college registration for that semester.

Prospective and current students, parents or others who have questions or seek additional information regarding Support Services should call or visit this office in the Rogers Student Center; Voice 903-510-2667, TDD 903-510-2841 or 2394.
