What do we do in Connections?

Through activities and discussions, you will explore the topics that matter most to you as a NEW TCU student:  campus resources, academic success, priority management, campus involvement and finding your natural STRENGTHS. 

Do I get academic credit for Connections?
It's not a for-credit course, but it does meet requirements to earn a leadership medallion you may wear at graduation after taking four leadership courses.

How much does the program cost?
Nothing! All you need to invest in the program are your time and talents at each class gathering.

When are the classes held?
Most classes meet on Thursdays from 5:00-6:15 PM. A few classes are held on Tuedays from 7:00-8:15 PM.

How often and for how long do the classes meet?
Connections runs for 10 weeks. Class meetings will vary depending on the topic you're covering, but the class typically lasts about one hour. Sometimes your class will attend a function together. Other times, an outside speaker will be featured.

How do I register?
Since Connections is required of all first-year students, you are already registered. The location and day of your class is on this page and has been emailed to every participant.

When do Connections classes start?
Classes start during the first week of academic classes, on Tuesday August 26 and on Thursday August 28, 2008.

How can I get more information?
