Academic Advisement at TC3

Faculty Academic Advisors and the staff in the Enrollment Services Center provide important services to help students succeed at college. You can get the name of your advisor or speak with Center staff in room 215.

Advisors help students:

  • Understand how academic programs can meet their individual career and academic goals.
  • Identify program requirements and plan course schedules that are appropriate
  • Make changes in their schedules
  • Discuss their career and transfer plans which relate to their TC3 program (courses.)
  • Get referrals to appropriate campus resources (for example Counseling and Career Services, Learning Assistance Center...)
  • Make program/advisor changes.

All students have access to academic advisement.  Most full-time students and many part-time students are assigned to a faculty advisor in their program.  Other students are assigned to the Enrollment Services Center.

If you are not sure who your advisor is, check with the Center. It is recommended that new students make an appointment to see their advisors as soon as classes begin to discuss their courses, make any necessary changes in their schedule, and discuss career and transfer opportunities.

You, as a student, have great opportunities here at TC3 - academic advisors can assist you to make the most of your college experience.
