If you live within a 50 mile radius from TMCC you must attend a new student orientation session.

If you are a distance education student (outside the 50 mile radius), you can complete the orientation online. Please note that if you do the online orientation you will need to contact TMCC's Advisement Office to receive instructions on how to complete the online advisement workshop.

Parents or partners are not required to attend an orientation session; however, we welcome them and most do choose to attend. Parents and partners who attend are able to help their student better understand the nature of the information presented.

If you did not declare a major on your application, and you do not plan to earn a degree from TMCC, you should complete the steps to enroll for non-degree-seeking students. If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions and Records Office.

Transfer students are only required to complete the steps to enroll for transfer students. If you have any questions, please contact Academic Advisement.

At TMCC, orientation is a required step to enroll which must be completed by new degree-seeking students. New student orientation is combined with Academic Advisement, so you must attend in order to learn important academic requirements for your degree. In addition, we will help you create an academic planner to help you create a schedule that will help you be successful.

Completing orientation is a great way to get you started on the road to success.
