Frequently asked Questions

Students can enroll in up to 18 credit hours each semester and have the flexibility to shape their schedules. To help you make the most of your class choices, your advisor needs to understand your priorities and goals. Be confident in sharing your story — your input is key to designing a schedule that aligns with your aspirations.

Using their specified Degree Plan Roadmap and Degree Core Report found in my.tcu.edu, students can ensure they are meeting university and degree requirements.

Students can review their total financial aid package on my.tcu.edu. Look for additional private and university scholarships through the Office of Scholarships and Student Financial Aid.

Follow the preparation instructions provided by your academic advisor. Additionally, prior to your advising appointment, use planning tools such as your Degree Progress Core Report within the MyTCU portal, degree planner within the Stellic platform and My Purple Schedule Builder. It may also be helpful to prepare a list of questions and academic priorities to share with your advisor to ensure you’ve maximized your opportunity to receive appropriate guidance during your meeting.
