As a TAA student at Edison State Community College, there are special provisions that apply to you. Keep a copy of your TAA contract, academic plan, and placement scores in a folder in a safe place. These are important documents.
You have been approved for the specific classes and costs shown on your academic plan. These must be adhered to. These specific amounts will be applied to your Financial Aid account each semester. Meet with a TAA advisor for ANY changes to your academic plan. Changes to your contract require processing of a modification and approval by TAA (Trade).
How do I register for future classes?
Once you get underway as a student at Edison State, you will meet with a faculty advisor in your program of study to register for future classes. Your faculty advisor's name appears on the advising tab within Student Planning in MyESCC. Bring your TAA folder with you, to register for the classes shown on your academic plan.
If your faculty advisor recommends any changes to your academic plan, you must schedule an appointment with your TAA advisor to process a modification.
Your faculty advisor must sign your registration form. Take the signed registration form to the registration counter in Student Services to complete your registration. Register early so that you can get the classes, days, and times that work best for you. Important dates:
- Registration occurs in April for Fall semester
- Registration occurs in November for Spring semester
- Registration occurs in February for Summer semester
What about required textbooks and materials?
As indicated on your TAA contract, only required textbooks and materials are covered as shown on your academic plan. Because textbook costs may change from the time your contract was approved, it is the student's responsibility to review required textbook charges for each semester at the bookstore (or online) and alert your TAA advisor if there are changes to the approved amounts. Changes to your plan will require a modification.
Purchase used books when possible.
If your program requires materials or services not available in the bookstore, you must see your TAA advisor for necessary authorization forms and vendors.
What if there are changes to my contract?
Any changes to your contract require processing a modification and must be approved by TAA (Trade) before they are implemented. This includes course changes, substitutions or additional charges by term. Changes not approved are the responsibility of the student.
What if a situation occurs where I cannot attend a class?
Generally, your instructor will talk about this at the beginning of the semester. TAA requires attendance in all classes, which is necessary to be a successful student. In the event of sickness or emergency, please notify your instructor and ensure you have a plan in place to make up missed work.
What if I am having difficulty with a class?
Edison State wants you to succeed! There are many resources available to provide additional support to students.
