On The Road... Again!

What an exciting week for Tusculum College! We have witnessed our record setting largest entering class of 400 new students converge on campus. After a week of enjoying the fruits of our labor, the admission office is ready to start running the roads of the southeast region with even higher expectations for next year’s entering class!

For the next three months, admission representatives will be coming to your high schools, area malls, and civic centers. Starting next week, we will have representatives in Middle and East Tennessee high schools. If you go to a school at or near Warren County, Cherokee High, Hickman High, East Hickman High, Daniel Boone High, Perry County High, Lewis County, Tri-Cities, Giles County, Lawrence County, and Sullivan East High, a Tusculum representative will be coming to you next week. So, take some time and stop by our table and ask us about what distinguishing factors Tusculum has to offer. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Important Loan Information for New Students!

Are you counting on Federal Direct Student Loans to help you cover your expenses for college? If you are a first time borrower, you will need to complete Entrance Loan Counseling and a Master Promissory Note. If you have used student loans in the past at Tusculum College, you will still need to complete a new MPN for the Direct Lending Program. Failure to complete these steps could result in your account being placed on hold because your financial obligations with Tusculum College will not have been met. The Financial Aid Staff is always ready to assist you with any questions that you might have by contacting us at financialaid@tusculum.edu.

Tusculum is starting to “buzz” again, as students are moving back to campus. A majority of the students coming to campus early are our fall sport athletes.

Our soccer and volleyball teams will be reporting tomorrow to begin preparing for their upcoming seasons, as well. Our men’s soccer team opens up on September 3rd against King College with a neutral site match in Banner Elk, NC. The Lady Pioneer soccer team will be traveling to Texas A&M Commerce to start-up their season on September 4th. The Pioneer volleyball team will have their opening match on September 3rd as they take on West Virginia State in Indianapolis, IN.

Hello everyone!

Can you believe that August is already here Seems like the summer just flew by! Soon students will begin the move in process, but if you still haven't made your decision to come to Tusculum for the Fall 2010 semester, there's little time left!

If you still need to make your decision to come to Tusculum, you need to contact your admission counselor ASAP, so that we can get everything taken care of to prepare you for the Fall semester. You can find out contact information along the side of this blog.

Keep up to date with what's going on in our Admission office by checking back here frequently! Soon, we will be hitting the road to visit different schools and college fairs, so check and see if we're coming to see you! And if we do, be sure to say hi and let us know you're staying updated with our Blog. :)

Take care!

Campus visits

Hey guys!
Wow, where has the summer gone? I have no idea! The time has certainly passed by quickly in the admission office. I know you've read a lot about registration over the course of the summer. We still have students who are making that final decision of where to attend college, and it's crunch time!

The best way to avoid the crunch is to visit prospective colleges early in your senior year of  high school. The visit schedule has certainly picked up over the past week, and we've seen a lot of great families who are making the rounds and visiting colleges on their summer vacations.

If you haven't visited our campus yet, there's plenty of time left to do so! Visits are great opportunities to meet  your admission counselor, tour the campus, and learn more about what makes Tusculum special. You can schedule your appointment by giving us a call at 800.729.0256, or online by clicking here.

Hope to see you soon!

Summer Fun at Pioneer Park

Have you ever asked yourself what is there to do in Greeneville in the summer? Most people that live in the east Tennessee have asked themselves this question at some point. Tusculum College is lucky enough to be the home of the Greeneville Astros. The Greeneville Astros are a minor league team for the Houston Astros. They play their games right here on our campus from late June until late August.

If you are interested in visiting our campus and would like to come on a day when the Astros will be playing, check out their schedule and pick a day they are going to be in town.
