Tyler Junior College is a public community college in Tyler, Texas, serving students in East Texas and the surrounding region. It offers associate degrees, workforce training, and transfer-oriented coursework on its main campus and other instructional sites. The college is part of the Texas public higher education system.
TJC provides a broad mix of academic and career-focused programs, including university-transfer pathways and technical education.

The college is also known for student support services and a strong emphasis on access and affordability.
For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Tyler Junior College is a community college that evaluates prior learning and exam-based credit through its own academic policies. Students should expect credit-by-exam and transfer decisions to depend on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and degree plan. Because policies can change, students should confirm current CLEP acceptance and applicability with the college before testing.
Credit and transcript decisions at TJC are handled through the registrar and academic records processes. As with most colleges, official credit is posted only after the institution has received the required documentation and determined that the credit fits the student’s program. Students should consult the registrar or advising office for the most current rules on transfer credit, CLEP credit, and degree applicability.
