Student Services
Financial Aid Education is an important investment and the Office of Financial Aid at Tech is dedicated
to reducing the financial barriers to academic success. From applying for aid to managing
scholarship awards, office staff guide students to help them understand the processes
and make the decisions that best meet their needs. The office is a resource for information
and assistance with grants, loans, scholarships and work study programs. Student Success Centers Student Success Centers are in place in every college with professional advisors to
assist students with academic issues and provide guidance for advisement and academic
success. The centers can help students complete general education requirements, select
degree programs and overcome academic hurdles. Whether students need minimal assistance
or more comprehensive support, the Student Success Centers help students reach their
potential as undergraduates. Center for Career Development The Center for Career Development is the university’s centralized career planning
and employment center connecting students and alumni with career opportunities. On-campus
interviews, five annual career fairs and prep workshops help students polish their
resume and their interview skills to land the job of their dreams. The center’s cooperative
education program provides students with real-world work experience in their chosen
major. From freshman year to graduation, the center staff is here to facilitate a
successful transition from college to career. SGA Students have the opportunity to express their opinions and collaborate with university
administrators through the Student Government Organization. Consisting of student-selected
executive officers, senators and supreme court, SGA serves as a liaison between the
student body and university administrators to foster a strong sense of community on
campus. Advisement Academic advisors are in place to help every student at Tech navigate the college
experience and make appropriate course selections. Advisors work with upper classman
students in the academic department of the student’s major, making them especially
knowledgeable in the course requirements and degree paths. Students meet personally
with their advisors each Fall and Spring semester to check in and plan for semesters
ahead. Service Center Tech students make the world a better place through service learning projects in the
campus community and beyond. The Service Center is a resource for students interested
in being involved in service projects and for connecting students with community partners.
Tech students volunteer their time and efforts to support a wide range of causes and
community events. The center also houses and supports the campus Food Pantry, a volunteer-run
pantry in place for the campus community. Women's Center Empowering women and promoting diversity at the university, the Women’s Center provides
leadership, support services and special events to educate and enlighten the campus
community. The Women’s Center houses a library of books and literature related to
women’s issues and hosts a regular book club meeting. Support groups and awareness
events are held by the center throughout the year. Police Tennessee Tech is a safe campus community with a dedicated staff of professional law
enforcement and public safety personnel. University police are on campus 365 days
a year, seven days a week, 24 hours a day to support the safety and security of campus
facilities. Traffic and parking enforcement, safety trainings, emergency services,
