Fall Registration Change and Reminders
TCC students will receive “the gift of time” to more thoroughly prepare for fall 2013 registration. We are making certain changes to our registration process that are mandated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. In order to maximize our students’ success at TCC, we need to review and refine our systems to ensure they receive proper course placement. Instead of June 15 to 21, priority registration will be July 15 to 18 with open registration beginning … Read entire article »

TCC and Me Showcases Draw Variety of Attendees
It was hard to believe. But once she saw it, there was no doubt it was just what she needed. “I needed something to motivate me into the right direction,” said Arlington resident Tanya Hill. “I’ve been waiting and procrastinating. I need to do this.” Still clinging to the ad she had ripped out of a local newspaper, Hill was one of the nearly 300 people who attended the Tarrant County College TCC & Me Community and High School Showcase at the Southeast Campus in Arlington. Early reports show that more than 1,300 people accepted the invitation to learn more about the educational opportunities at one of TCC’s five campuses. Hill, who attended college one semester in 2005, said she is ready to move past a low paying hourly wage jobs that doesn’t … Read entire article »

TCC Employee Sets Cowtown Marathon Record
A TCC employee has accomplished two major feats in just a couple of weeks. Elizabeth Eder joined our staff in the Institutional Research Department on February 11, and she set a new Cowtown Marathon record on February 24. While we’d like to believe that becoming a TCC employee was the inspiration Elizabeth needed to achieve a Cowtown Marathon best, as well as a personal best, we suspect that it was the months of hard work that had more to do with it. Elizabeth credits a disciplined training regimen and a perfect day where everything fell into place for her time of 2:46.09, breaking the previous women’s record by almost 20 minutes and beating her own personal best by almost 10 minutes. “I had to change my training quite a bit this time around, … Read entire article »
