Services may include note takers, readers, tutors, arranged testing accommodations, motorized wheelchairs, closed circuit television, tape recorders, talking calculators, adaptive computers, mobility assistance, and interpreters for the hearing impaired.

There are many financial aid programs for students taking credit courses at TCC, including loans, grants, jobs, and scholarships.
Various scholarships are available throughout the academic year.
Students should check the Financial Aid Scholarship Brochure and Financial Aid bulletin boards for details. Federal applications normally are available in February. TCC financial aid applications for loans, grants, and jobs are available after April 1 for awards to be effective for use during the following school year. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid as soon as possible after these availability dates, since funds for these programs are limited and application delays are often incurred because of data verification regulations. A student's financial aid application must be completely processed at least one week prior to the beginning of a registration period for funds to be available at registration.
