New Student Orientation

Start your first semester with confidence

Prepare to transition into college successfully by attending a new student orientation session online or via a live, virtual Zoom call.

Attending this interactive session will help you build a solid foundation of student success and acclimate you to the TCC community. You will learn about campus resources, student life and more!

• Learn how to navigate campus and locate important services, like libraries and computer labs.
• Explore student services and other valuable resources available to you as a TCC student.
• Find answers to your questions about starting college, including academic advising and military-related student support.

Live, Virtual Orientation

Live virtual orientation sessions are offered through Zoom. Attending a virtual presentation gives you the opportunity to engage with TCC staff and ask questions. Closed captioning is available for some sessions. Registration is required to attend an orientation session.

Online Orientation

Online orientation is available if you can’t attend a live, virtual orientation session. Watch our series of orientation videos to learn more about how to get started and be successful here at TCC!
