Advising 101 Advisors are integral to success. They help you navigate the course catalog and provide guidance as to which courses are most appropriate for your interests and future goals. Build a relationship with your advisor. Share your history. Practice honest communication. Create a college network. Mentors are invaluable resources. Nourish mentoring relationships regularly.
Instructors Have Offices Too Remember, you can meet them in person, through a phone call, or email. Make the most of office hours. Introduce yourself to the instructor. Discuss interesting aspects of the class. Share your progress on a paper or discuss a recent grade Ask for studying and test-taking advice. You can locate all instructor contact information in MyTCC and WebAdvisor Share your academic struggles. If you find yourself struggling with course material, meet with your instructors after class or during office hours.
Email Etiquette When emailing an instructor, keep these tips in mind Use the subject line to identify yourself and your class (Jill Student STSC 0111 online) Think of your audience use a formal greeting, formal language, and signature Think about presentation don t use all caps, overuse punctuation(!!!), and spell check Instructors are like work supervisors they give you tasks to complete and presentations to watch; some you like and some you don t; but you have to show courtesy and professionalism to all
Ask Questions and Get Help Often Anxiety is understandable. Seeking assistance is key. College supports Speak with advisors, mentors, instructors, academic center staff, tutors, or counselors when you have an issue. *HEERF (Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund) Peer supports Don t underestimate the level of support you may receive from fellow classmates and upperclassmen. Family and friends Reaching out to family members and friends can also provide a level of support that is integral to feeling secure on campus.
