TC3 Receives Glowing Reaccreditation

TC3 has received the best possible review by the Middles State Commission on Higher Education: a full 10-year reaccreditation.

Accreditation is required by the federal government. As part of the review, TC3 completed a two-year self study that looked at things like how the College assesses the quality of learning being experienced by students.

"The kind of success we experienced with this reaccreditation simply wouldn't be possible without everyone having a stake in the College," said TC3 President Carl Haynes.

"It's about the College as a whole… including all the faculty, administrators, classified staff, and trustees involved in initiatives that contribute to student success."

H1N1 Health Alert

washing handsOn Thursday, June 11th, the World Health Organization (WHO) elevated the pandemic alert to phase six, meaning the outbreak is now in more than one WHO region of the world (North America and Australia). TC3 health services director Shari Shapleigh, in a June 11th message to the College community, said the change in phase status is not associated with the severity of the virus, just where it has been found.

As of Tuesday, June 9th, the TC3 student identified with a confirmed case of H1N1 influenza has recovered. In a June 9th message to the College community, health services director Shari Shapleigh said both the student with H1N1 and another student who exhibited symptoms but tested negative for the H1N1 have been cleared to resume attending classes.

TC3 Health Services is working closely with county and state health department officials to monitor information and recommendations related to H1N1 influenza. The TC3 Health Center encourages all individuals to be responsible for monitoring their health and taking appropriate preventive measures. The health center is prepared to address patient concerns related to flu-like symptoms, assure appropriate treatment, referrals and implement precautions.

The TC3 health services has information online about swine flu and links to information web sites such as CDC, WHO, and state and local health agencies. Please check these sites for general information before calling. The TC3 home page and the TC3 Health Services page will have the current information about H1N1 (updated as needed).

The college’s pandemic response and planning team is working with external agencies and college-wide departments to help the campus prepare and respond to the current pandemic health alert.

Ride sharing to and from TC3

Ride sharing might be a fancy name for carpooling, but either way you put it, it’s a simple way to cut back on gas costs and cut your carbon footprint if you drive to campus on a regular basis.

TC3 can connect you to a number of local ride sharing groups for rides to campus and rides on regular, longer trips, as well as help you find a taxi or get familiar with the local bus schedules.
