Planning a campus tour

Why should you visit TJC?

You can’t get a feel for a campus until you visit and determine if it is the right fit for you. Visiting our campus will give you an opportunity to experience TJC and help you to prepare to attend classes here. TJC is where you will spend 1-4 years, depending on which program you choose, and we want it to feel like home for you.  You won’t know if it feels right until you get here and immerse yourself in what we have to offer. 

What happens on a TJC campus tour?

Our campus tour is a 45-minute walking tour where you will gain information about what TJC has to offer. You will see many of our academic buildings, places where students hang out, and other spots we think are important for you to see while you are here.  Our tours are led by Student Ambassadors, who can answer any questions you may have from the students’ perspective. Students and parents will also receive an admissions presentation that answers questions about the admissions process, financial aid, new student orientation, and housing.

How to get the most out of your tour?

It’s important that you schedule your tour ahead of time so you can plan your arrival and so we can be ready to welcome you to our beautiful campus.  Take the opportunity to ask a ton of questions of your student tour guide, the admissions office, financial aid, housing, and any other offices you have questions for. Take the time after your tour to continue to explore the campus on your own to get a feel for what TJC is like and visit any other buildings you were unable to see on the tour.

Questions to ask.

When you come for your TJC tour you will want to ask questions about the admissions process and what they need to get you ready to register for classes.  You want to speak with financial aid if you are having difficulty with your FAFSA or need help with determining how much financial aid you qualify for. If you are interested in living on campus I would recommend talking with the Residential Life and Housing office to see inside an actual residence hall and see what dining options we can offer you.

Our student-guided tours are given Monday through Friday at 10:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. To schedule a tour with us go to tjc.edu/visit.
