Preparing for TSO
Before attending TSO students will need to make sure they have completed the New Student Checklist and make sure no existing holds are on his/her account. It is strongly advised that students are registered for classes prior to attending TSO. If you are not registered for classes, please contact an Academic Advisor to do so.
Items to consider before attending TSO include:
- MyHC – have you logged in already?
- Financial Aid – have you submitted all necessary documents?
- Email – Are you able to log in and use your HC email?
These are just a few of the items that need to be reviewed before registering for courses. For more information about each aspect, please refer to the New Student Checklist
