**This is a suggested degree plan and students are strongly encouraged to seek advisement for course planning from their academic advisor or faculty advisor.  Since senior college requirements differ, Tyler Junior College recommends that all students who plan to transfer check with their senior college regarding transferability of particular classes into degree requirements.  The final responsibility for the selection, scheduling, and satisfactory completion of degree or certificate requirements rests with the student.**
