Advising

You will be assigned an academic advisor and a general advisor who will assist in developing your educational goal(s), financial aid processes, and selecting specific courses each semester. If you change your program or advising guide, you will be assigned the appropriate academic advisor. Your general advisor will remain the same until graduation. If you wish to change your advisor, you may request the advisor change at the Welcome Center. Advisors also assist you in exploring educational and occupational opportunities, establishing goals, identifying strengths and interests, and resolving concerns and difficulties. Academic advisors’ office locations can be found in the faculty/staff directory at trcc.edu. General advisors can be found in the Advising Center located on the 1st floor of the Westover Administrative/Classroom Building or the front office of any full-service external location. You can also contact the Advising Center by calling 573-840-9605.

To help in planning your education, an online planning system, called Self-Service, is available through the myTRCC portal. The Student Planning system will be used by you and your advisor(s) to map out your semester-by-semester plan and keep you on track. You must have advisor approval prior to registering each semester.
