We have tons of technology connections for you at TCTC.

FREE Microsoft Office 365 is available to all students. Connect through the Academic Resources tile in MyTCTC for access to Office 365, which includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

ALEKS is used for various math classes. It’s an adaptive software that accurately determines what you know and what you need to practice. It is accessible 24/7 through a link in your blackboard course, and you can complete work, practice, and be periodically reassessed to ensure topics are learned and retained. Overall students completing a high percentage of ALEKS topics have a much higher degree of success in their math courses.

MindTap is a learning platform that is required for some courses, including college skills classes. The MindTap software is an inclusive access purchase when you register for your college skills course. Your instructor will use MindTap for various readings, quizzes, and assignments. Many instructors use MyLabs or Mastering as part of their courses. There are numerous resources within these tools to help you learn, including videos and animations, sample homework problems and online assistance. You can access both resources through Blackboard.

We also offer an Information Technology Service Desk for assistance with MyTCTC, Blackboard, or other technology issues. Contact 864-646-1779 or servicedesk@tctc.edu.
