New Student Orientation

TMCC General Image

We are delighted you chose to pursue your academic career with TMCC!

New Student Orientation provides essential college orientation and advises you on first-semester courses. As a new degree-seeking student, you will have a hold placed on your account until you complete the orientation.

New Student Orientation provides information on the catalog, English and Math placement, how to enroll, what classes to take for your first semester and preparation for your first semester.

After completing the modules and submitting the orientation's final step, the enrollment hold on your MyTMCC account will be removed within three business days. During open registration, you will also have the option to attend an in-person Registration workshop to receive hands-on registration assistance. 

Orientation Login

Note: New Student Orientation is accessed through your TMCC Canvas account. You will need your TMCC username and password that was provided to you in your admissions letter when you applied to the College. If you need assistance logging in, please see the online student authentication tools.
