Credit registration for the spring 2021 semester is in progress at Tunxis Community College.

Credit classes at Tunxis start on Jan. 22 with a mix of on-ground, online, and hybrid course options. For information on how to apply and register, visit tunxis.edu/apply.

Starting this term, new students can opt to have an advisor create a class schedule for them based on their major, interests, preferred class times and learning mode by visiting tunxis.edu/plan. After filling out the form online, an advisor will email the student their courses within 48 hours in most cases. Changes can be made to the schedule through the add/drop process.

Tunxis will hold virtual information sessions on Dec. 16 at 6:30 p.m. and Jan. 4 at 12:15 p.m. for those who would like to learn more about attending the college as a new or transfer student in January. All are welcome to join the group WebEx session, which will include information on academic programs, services, student life and financial aid, followed by questions.

While Tunxis buildings remain closed to the general public, the college is open to students and others who have appointments on campus, following COVID-19 safety guidelines.
