Student Success & Advising


Student Success and Advising offices provide two primary services: success coaching and career advising.

Success Coaches are available to provide students with support in completing the application and registration process and the transition into college. Success Coaches connect students to campus resources and assist them throughout their first year by offering services designed to increase student success. 

Career Advisors support students in developing plans to achieve their personal, academic and career goals. They assist students in exploring academic and career interests, monitor their academic success and track progress toward completing their educational requirements. Career Advisors help students identify and enroll in appropriate courses and make referrals to College resources and opportunities to help them achieve their goals.

Through TCC’s advising program, Career Advisors, success coaches, and faculty advisors assist students with identifying their program of study. To comply with regulations of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), all First Time in College (FTIC) students must engage in placement testing and career advising processes. In addition to the Student Success & Advising offices located on each campus, TCC students have access to online Career Advising. Online Career Advisors provide support via chat and email.

All TCC students are expected to have at least one career advising appointment each term to discuss their success and progress, ensure that they are on track to meeting their educational goals, and to connect them to college resources and services. An advising visit is a one-on-one meeting with a career advisor by phone, face-to-face, or online after the start of classes of the initial term for which a student registers. These advising sessions are designed to assist students with academic and career planning.
