TTC Policies and Procedures
The following policies and procedures are valuable for every prospective and current TTC student to review. View the complete list of TTC Policies and Procedures.
Student Responsibilities
Policies and Procedures: As a student, you are responsible for being informed of all policies and procedures required to attend TTC, most of which are on the TTC website. College regulations will not be waived because a student pleads ignorance of established policies and procedures. Academic policies and procedures are subject to change. If changes occur, they can be accessed on TTC’s website.
If you are unsure of any policy or procedure, you can seek help or clarification from the Registrar’s Office, Student Services Office, Student Life Office, Counseling and Career Development Office or an academic advisor.
Student Information: It is recommended that you review and update your contact information at least once each semester. Contact information includes your mailing address and phone number(s). Verify and update your contact information in the TTC Self-Service within the portal.
Placement Testing Changes: Entry-level placement test score requirements are subject to change.
Documents: As an applicant to TTC, you are responsible for ensuring all required documents are sent to the appropriate college office by the appropriate deadlines. All documents submitted to the college become the permanent property of TTC. Therefore, the college will not copy documents for or distribute them to students.
Disabilities-Related Needs: The college complies with relevant provisions of SEC 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. Appropriate, reasonable accommodations based on current medical and/or psychological documentation can be provided. If you need and qualify for these services, contact Services for Students with Disabilities at 843.574.6131 or TTY hearing-impaired phone at 843.574.6351 for more information and assistance. Visit the Disability Services page for more information.
Student Communication: TTC corresponds with students through the college’s official student email. College responses to student emails occur only through the official student email system to protect the student’s confidential student records. Students are responsible for checking TTC student email regularly for important college information.
Essential Consumer Information: Find helpful links and information for general college resources, academics, student cost and financial assistance, student loans, health and safety, and student outcomes on the Essential Consumer Information page.
Grading Policy
Letter grades are given in all courses at the end of each term to indicate the quality of work done by the student. Additional grades may be awarded but are excluded from the GPA calculation (i.e., audit, incomplete, pass, transfer, satisfactory, satisfactory completion, unsatisfactory, withdrawal). Final grades may be appealed to the instructor who originally assigned the grade. Grade changes must occur within two semesters in which the grade was assigned or prior to graduation, whichever comes first. Students may repeat a course to improve their GPA. All attempts will remain on the student’s transcript, but only the highest grade will be used in the GPA calculation.
