Get Oriented in 2 Steps
Step #1: Online Orientation
Working your way through the online orientation will provide a solid base to start your academic career at TCC. Make sure to take enough time to understand the material.
Step #2: New Student Survey
This helps us to understand you and your goals and tailor your TCC experience to be what you need. (It also let's us know that you completed the Online Orientation.) After you submit your survey, you will be connected to an academic advisor.
(Please note: we are experiencing longer wait times than normal in advisor assignments. Please expect to receive an email with your advisor assignment in 5-7 working days)
