Advising

Get the most out of your TCC experience with Academic Advising

The role of academic advisors is to assist students as they define, plan and achieve their educational goals.  Advisors advocate for student success and persistence. Working with an academic advisor can help you stay on track and make informed decisions about your future. They can also connect you to opportunities and resources across campus.
