Frequently Asked Questions

Students will have a hold on their account preventing any schedule changes. Students must contact us to request schedule changes (e.g., dropping a class, etc.). Students are responsible for understanding add/drop deadlines, which are firm.

Truckee Meadows Community College is required by federal law, regardless of age, to keep student records confidential.

Without the student’s express permission, TMCC cannot share student records with anyone but the student (or appropriate College employees, high school employees, or MWI instructors).

Should you wish to view your child’s records, they must first complete the third party authorization online through MyTMCC.

Credits earned at TMCC may be used toward a TMCC certificate or associate degree.

TMCC has transfer agreements with the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) to assist students in determining what courses will transfer from TMCC to these schools.

If you are planning to transfer out-of-state, you will want to contact the admissions office of the college or university you are planning to attend to see if the TMCC course you are taking will transfer to that institution.

If you have questions regarding how TMCC classes may be used to meet degree and/or certificate requirements, please contact Academic Advisement.
