Dean of Guidance Implements TCCi

Mariska Nurse, Dean of Guidance and Student Affairs, has begun the use of TCCi, an online resource for high school seniors and their parents.

"The program is an excellent source for providing information on all of the colleges and universities that our students are interested in. It allows me to stay in touch with each senior and provide him or her with current updates about applying to college. It also is a great communication tool in which parents can stay in touch with what is happening during their child application process, teachers who are writing recommendations and with me," says Mrs. Nurse about the program. I am pleased that parents and students have another reliable source of information to help them get through the college admission's process.

Students are able to track their college application process, search for colleges and look up information on those schools, get pertinent information about admissions for each school, receive helpful tips on the process, input their activity resumes, organize their scholarship applications, and keep a journal of their progress.

Parents can utilize TCCi to keep abreast of their child's progress, the schools to which their child is applying, help change or provide information that will be critical to the data that will be sent out to the schools and aid in helping their child stay organized. It also provides parents with an alternative link of communication to Mrs. Nurse and those teachers who will be writing recommendations on their child's behalf.

Some of the features of TCCi are:

¦ Course, career, and college planning activities
¦ Dynamic college search and comparison tools
¦ On-line forms to request transcripts
¦ College profiles, with data from CDS
¦ Resume of student accomplishments
¦ Scatter grams of past applications from CDS
¦ Scheduled visits by college representatives
¦ News updates from the counseling office
¦ Local scholarships and aid opportunities

Seniors and their parents may enter TCCi by clicking in from the CDS homepage. If you need a username and password, please contact Mrs. Nurse at mnurse@stxcountryday.com.
