Student Affairs

Community college students need specialized service and support to be successful. That’s why the TCC’s student affairs offers an array of support services and programs.

Student services are designed to enhance and facilitate student learning and growth both academically and socially and are available to all students regardless of their location of attendance.

Student support services

TCC’s student support services provide assistance to help students throughout their educational journey. TCC serves students in their first year of college, current or former foster youth, and those seeking employment.

Student Life and Conduct

Student life at TCC encompasses the entire collegiate experience. Along with classroom and laboratory work, various clubs and organizations are available to broaden and deepen students’ views. Leadership opportunities in student government are encouraged and student centers on each campus offer a wide variety of study and entertainment facilities.

Retention

At TCC, students’ academic success is important. Remediation, monitoring, and testing are all in place to assist students on their paths to success.

Advising

Advising is critical to student success, and students meet with advisors throughout their time at TCC. All students, including those in need of educational accessibility as well as international students studying on F-1 Visas, can find the support and guidance needed to navigate the collegiate experience at TCC.

Admissions and Enrollment Services

Registration for classes at TCC is easier than it’s ever been. So much of the admission and enrollment process can be completed online, or with assistance from our dedicated staff.

Public Safety

Safety for all who study and work at TCC is a top priority. Campus security personnel are on-duty during all times classes are in session to ensure a safe and productive environment for all.

registrar

The Office of the College Registrar maintains TCC’s academic records. The Registrar also handles secure academic processes, such as evaluating transfer credits, requesting an official transcript, applying for graduation, and more.
