Junior students interested in taking dual enrollment classes during their senior year are encouraged to attend the Tri-County Technical College Orientation session on Tuesday, March 1 at 6:00 in the auditorium. Orientation sessions are mandatory so if you miss this meeting, you will need to make plans to attend a make-up session at a later time. Representatives from the university transfer program and the technical career pathways such as HVAC, Welding and Mechatronics will be here to answer questions about the enrollment process.
