TSC prepares students for Summer and Fall Registration

Registration for Summer and Fall 2020 classes at Texas Southmost College is underway.

Texas Southmost College Summer and Fall 2020 registration is around the corner and TSC Executive Director of Academic and Student Services Vanessa Vasquez said it’s important for students to keep in mind the benefits of registering early.

“We’re moving ahead with registration anticipating this COVID-19 crisis will be behind us soon,” said Vasquez. “Classes fill up fast, so locking in your schedule early gives you time to work around job and/or family obligations. Plus you get to avoid long lines and lengthy wait times.”

“Advisors are always available to assist students,” she added. “They provide knowledge, guidance and the support necessary to empower students to reach their educational goals.”

Registration for TSC’s Summer and Fall 2020 semesters is underway.

Summer I and III Semesters begin June 1 and Summer II starts July 7. The Fall Semester begins Aug. 24.
