ADVISING

TVCC provides students with educational, workforce and career advisement services.  A student may make an appointment for advisement by submitting an I-60 to the TVCC Unit Enrollment Coordinator through the Unit Education Office.

LIBRARY SERVICES

Library resources and services are essential to learning.  Students of TVCC have access to the college library resources in support of their respective classes.

Access to the materials is made available to the student through his instructor, who will assist with the selection of course-related resources through the intra-library loan. Student loans are for a three-week period.  Materials can be returned through the TVCC faculty. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure the materials are returned on time.

Materials to supplement and complement class assignments will be available for students registered in the specific class.

TEXTBOOKS

TVCC purchases all textbooks for students enrolled within TDCJ. Textbooks must be returned to the unit education department at the completion, resignation or termination of course work. TDCJ students are responsible for maintaining the quality of all college textbooks.
