According to the National College Health Assessment, stress and illness due to the cold or flu are the most common causes of academic failure.  That’s right.  In addition to attending classes, studying, and other factors, your success at TC3 may depend simply on staying healthy.   

Maintain a healthy immune system to boost your chances of reducing the severity of an illness (or even avoid it all together).

Cold and Flu Health Information

Cold and flu season is upon us. Here are some helpful tips that can get you through.

Do you have to be ill to use the Health Center?

Of course not. We encourage students to take charge of their health by engaging in activities that promote optimal wellness. Such activities include making healthy life-style choices and becoming knowledgeable about personal self-care. No question is considered too trivial. Feel free to stop by or make an appointment concerning your health questions.
