Advising

All students are encouraged to seek advising before beginning the registration process to explore program options and learn about requirements and course prerequisites. Knowledge regarding their selected program of study allows students to progress quickly towards graduation, saving them time and money. For students considering eventual transfer to another institution, an early visit with the Office of Enrollment Services is highly recommended. Advising is required for the following groups:

• All first-time college students, including those who have earned college dual enrollment credit as high school students,
• Transfer college students with fewer than nine earned college semester credit hours,
• Students on academic probation or dismissal, and
• Students who need college preparatory (developmental education) courses.

Many students who plan to transfer to a university are advised to fulfill the lower-division requirements for the university selected for their continued education. It is the responsibility of all students to ensure that they take courses at TSC that will be accepted by the transfer institutions they wish to attend.

Requesting a Change of Major

Students can request to change their major by visiting the Office of Enrollment Services and submitting a Change of Major form. Any forms submitted after the term census date will not take effect until the end of the academic semester (prior to the start of the next academic term). Excessive changes to a student’s major may affect the scheduled timeline towards graduation.
