During GradFest, you can:

• Interact with four-year colleges and universities
• Learn how your Academic Plan can keep you on track to complete your Tri-C program
• Connect with Transfer Specialists and Career Services representatives to make sure you are transfer- and career-ready
• Find information on graduation, commencement and Tri-C resources
• Enter to win prizes, including Visa gift cards, Triceratops-themed items, a cap and gown, and more

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?

Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"

TRIO Scholars: The College offers financial assistance in addition to financial aid. Be sure to meet with your TRIO advisor if you have any questions.  

As the Fall semester approaches, we want to ensure you're aware of availabe Student Financial Resources.



If you need help applying for financial aid options, completing a FAFSA or need to check their financial aid status, please contact the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships Office.

In-person Financial Aid workshops are available at each campus.  Visit Financial Aid Workshops and Events for more details.  

Cuyahoga Community College's student basic needs program was awarded to Tri-C to enhance and expand the existing services established by the college through Benefits Access/Project Go!

Benefits Access/Project Go! provides free services to assist qualifying Tri-C students with finding additional resources to ease financial challenges so they may focus on their education. Using a holistic approach, Benefits Navigators are available to meet with students from any Tri-C campus either virtually, in person, or by phone to connect students to various community-based resource and service providers that provide food, health care, housing, childcare, and utility assistance to meet a student's basic needs.

The Pantry is an on-campus resource providing assistance to students in their pursuit of success; Tri-C students in need of food assistance and other basic necessities may visit the Pantry. For more information or questions, students can check with their campus Student Engagement Office and visit The Pantry webpage for hours of operation and campus locations. 

Tri-C has started transitioning to a new learning management system called D2L Brightspace and it's set to start Summer 2024. To learn more about Brightspace and be prepared before your classes start, take a look at some tutorial videos. If you have any questions, reach out to Alex Fuentes in MLA 103.
