TC Student Services for Dual Credit Students

For college-enrolled students, TC’s Student Services Department provides a wide range of services designed to supplement a student’s total college experience at Temple College. Student Services serves as a vehicle for increased access to both technical and academic programs, as well as to the community at large. Dual Credit students are strongly encouraged to make use of these services offered to all registered TC students, including access to academic counseling and referral to personal counseling, career choice workshops, and job assistance services. Student organizations and activities are also sponsored by Student Services, and dual credit students are strongly encouraged to take part in these as appropriate.

Dual credit students are entitled to use all of the College’s resources made available to regular college students while enrolled at TC. These include use of the physical fitness facilities, the library, computer labs, and other services available to increase student success. In addition, dual credit students can access the Academic Advising and the Student Financial Aid offices to help map out their college plans while attending TC.

Student ID
In order to use most of TC’s facilities, dual credit students are required to have a college ID card. Students may obtain an ID card after payment has been made for registered classes at the front desk of the Admissions and Records office. Students who do not have a TC ID card will not be permitted to use the fitness facilities, the computer labs, or check out materials from the library.

Advisement and Testing Services
In order to enhance the academic and vocational success of students at Temple College, advisors are available in the Student and Enrollment Services Division located in the One College Centre building. A major goal of this service is to offer a more responsive advisement resource to students in a humanistic, personal, and timely manner. This service is designed to complement and enhance the advising function and to assist students with transfer information. Advisement services and the Testing Center are both located on the second floor of One College Centre. The Testing Center provides services designed to assist the student by realistically assessing academic achievement through different testing instruments. Results on these instruments are used: (1) for determining eligibility for certain college programs (2) for some certifications, (3) for course placement, and (4) for meeting requirements mandated by the state legislature.
