Admissions

Everyone should check to make sure they are on the right path to transferring to another university, if that is what they choose to do. Make sure that all your class are transferable and are class you should actually be taking for your declared major.

Get involved on campus, though it seems difficult. Join a club or Honor Society or start your own club. Do not be ashamed for being a student at a community college, in the end you will not have near as many student loans as the other four year university grads!

Remember to make friend, cause in college anyone can have what you don't, so be active and friendly.

Show up to class, do your homework, become familiar with your teachers, and you are bound to succeed

Don't feel bad or embarrassed that you are starting off at a community college, like I did. It really is an excellent way to see how different college is from high school and gives you a great opportunity to learn more about what you have to do to succeed in college. Go to class, read instructions carefully, and make the most of it(:

you know when you are fresh from high school, just turned legal meaning 18, and you think that you can run the show by yourself, believe me you can, but you can run it better when you have those who know what the road is like help you run your show. basically, i stayed home and went to a small school, yes i had my little freedom, parents are on my case still but not as much. this is good because, with them on my case, it helped me get back on track when i slacked off and they saw progress also.

As a Tarrant County College student I urge prospective students to join and get involved in the clubs Tarrant County College has to offer. It is the best way to network and gain skills you cannot inside a classroom. Tarrant County College provides tremendous tutoring resources for every field of interest. Tutoring facilities strongly improves academic skill in every aspect for students for higher learning as it has for me first hand.The advising counselors go above and beyond in finding answers for students whether it relates transferring to a university or inquiring the best courses for students. Tarrant County College also provides numerous of guest speakers to promote the Social Change Model and establishing several recruiting events of many universities around the county. I encourage students to engage in all the academic and social offerings the campus has to provide for their valued students.
