Achieve it at TSTC!

Welcome to Summer Semester!
The Student Government Association and Student Life Office invite students to learn about TSTC academic and extra-curricular opportunities during three special events in the Student Center from 11:30 AM to 1 PM May 15 through May 17. The fun on May 15 as Activity Day will focus on dancing lessons in the Cafeteria. Many student clubs will have representatives at Join-A-Club Day on May 16 to explain the academic, career and social networking benefits of their organizations. The SGA invites students to its SGA Office open house by serving free ice cream sundaes May 17.

Why Wait in Line?
Instead of standing in line to ask the cashiers to print your registration statement, print it online! Log into WebAdvisor and then click on the “Students” bar, click on “Registration Statement” on the right-hand side of the screen and choose the term from the drop-down box. Click on “Show Reg Statement” and view and / or print it. Once your financial aid transmits to your account, it will appear toward the bottom of the Registration Statement on the line labeled “Financial Aid Transmitted.” If your balance is a credit, that means you have money left over.
