Registration Information

Registration Information


For new students in particular, the registration process can be confusing and complex. The following is a general overview of the registration process. 

1. If you are a new student, you must first participate in the New Student Experience and receive academic advisement from your academic department before you will be able to register for courses. Information about the New Student Experience can be found on the TC web site for Admitted Students. 

2. During academic advisement, you will receive a registration PIN (personal identification number) from your departments. Once you receive your PIN and have identified the courses you want or will need to take, you can register on-line through TC's My TC Portal. On-line registration is highly recommended as this is both the fastest and easiest way to sign up for your classes. For further information, you may want to check out the Office of the Registrar web page for tips on how to register.

Note: certain courses may be marked "instructor's approval" or "special permission" required. To register for courses designated in this fashion, consult the Office of the Registrar.

3. You may add or drop courses during the add / drop period (until the add/drop deadline); however, all course selections must be finalized by the end of the add / drop period. Changes after the add / drop period may be done only under special circumstances and may incur a charge. Consult the TC Academic Calendar for the add/drop dates for the term. 

ID Card

After registering, you will be able to obtain a TC Identification Card. You cannot obtain an ID card until after registering. The TC ID Office, located in 106 Whittier Hall, usually arranges special times and dates during Orientation and Registration for students to get their ID cards. For detailed information, please contact Card Sevices.
