Need to Know
Need 2 Know is a required program for the incoming class that is
designed to give students information about various situations that
they may face in college as well as provide them with information
regarding resources on campus to assist them if needed. Students
will be contacted regarding which session they will need to attend
in August.
Common Reading
Originating within SDS, the Common Reading
has become a foundational piece of the first year experience,
setting expectations for students’ academic life. After an
SDS-proposed Vision in Action grant moved the program to Academic
Affairs, staff members continue to partner with faculty to ensure a
meaningful program that allows students to have the chance to spend
time with TCU’s best faculty members discussing the year’s reading
before classes start. Past topics have included "What
Does it Mean to be an American?" and "The First Amendment and the
Boundaries of Freedom." The Common Reading is mandatory for all
first year students. The reading material for the Common Reading
will be sent to students around mid-July, giving them adequate
time to read the short articles to prepare for the discussion during
the Common Reading.

At this celebration of TCU’s academic life, incoming students march
into Daniel-Meyer Coliseum to the applause of faculty and staff
members clad in academic regalia. The event, a bookend to
Convocation, concludes with the candlelight passing of the Light of
Knowledge.
