TC Up-Close is an inspirational opportunity for prospective students to experience college life. Prospective students, after expressing interest in TC Up-Close, will be matched with a current Texarkana College student who has the same career goals. During the day, the student will attend college classes, visit the department of academic/career interest, eat lunch, meet with an enrollment advisor, and take a personalized tour of the campus.

Program goals:

Admissions and Recruitment Services provides campus tours by appointment only. You may Schedule Your Campus Tour Here to complete a Campus Tour Request Form.  A student recruiter or a representative will contact you within two (2) business days via email or telephone to discuss appointment availability and to also confirm your tour. Remember to bring a photo ID with you for academic advising.

Walk-ins for campus tours may be accepted; however, only upon the availability of the student recruiter & recruitment representatives. We invite you to come see for yourself everything that Texarkana College has to offer! Please note that campus tours are not available when the college is closed for holidays and weekends.

CANCELLATIONS & RESCHEDULINGS: If you need to cancel or reschedule a tour, please contact a student recruiter at 903-823-3200 or email us at admissions@texarkanacollege.edu at least one (1) day in advance so that we may rearrange our schedules accordingly. Please feel free to use our campus tour request form to reschedule a more convenient time for you to visit.

ARRIVING LATE FOR YOUR TOUR:  We are happy to wait if you see that you will be arriving late for your tour. However, there may be others who have already arrived early and are waiting to start their tour. In order to ensure that there is adequate time and attention for every scheduled tour, we ask that you notify our student recruiters at 903-823-3200 if you see that you will be more than 15 minutes late past your scheduled tour time. We reserve the right to automatically cancel your tour if you do not notify the recruiter that you are going to be late and it has been more than 15 minutes past your schedule tour time. 

Customer service is our goal! Please take a moment after your campus tour to complete the short survey in your welcome bag.
