ONLINE SERVICES
Advising
Once a student is accepted to TFC they are assigned an academic advisor. This advisor will help the student plan out the best courses to take in upcoming semesters and assist students with any issues or concerns that may arise during their time at TFC.
Counseling
Counseling is available to online students by contacting one of our licensed professional counselors in the TFC Student Wellness Center.
IT Support
Technical support is available to all students. If an online student is having difficulty with their computer, software, or course page they may contact IT Support at support@tfc.edu at any point. The email will be assigned to the appropriate staff member to assist the student as quickly as possible.
Online Librarian
Online students are provided with an online librarian. While students are introduced to the library services during orientation, Online Librarian, Torri Beck, is available throughout their time at TFC to assist in checking out books, finding resources in the online library and helping with other library needs. Torri can be contacted at tbeck@tfc.edu.
Orientation
All incoming online students will take TFC100. This is a non-credit course that introduces students to the format and function of online courses and also exposes them to the history and culture of TFC.
