MULTIPLE SCHOOLS, DEGREES, AND COURSES
TCC has chosen to network with multiple schools that offer many courses, which provides greater opportunity and flexibilty for our students, while maintaining the highest standard available through online, accelerated and self-study programs. Each school has allowed us to manage and operate their online courses and use their course material in our unique Degree Acceleration Program. Degrees awarded by our associated schools are recognized by TCC. A discounted matriculation fee of $5.00 per credit hour will be assessed to receive a Diploma from Tapestry Christian College.
DEGREE ACCELERATION PROGRAM (DAP)
TCC’s Degree Acceleration Program is offered when we have 15 or more registered students for a specific Credit or Certificate Course. The course is then offered in an accelerated time frame. Each of our 3 Credit Hour courses usually requires 45 Contact hours. These accelerated schedules may be offered in a 5 Day work week, i.e. 8 hours per day over five days, with an estimated 5 hours of testing and/or reports.
TCC’s Certificate Courses are offered in 3 hour, 6 Hour, 1 Day, 2 Day or 3 Day formats. Certificates will indicate the credit hours or partial credit hour value of the Course. A matriculation fee will be charged to add the credits to a Registered Student of TCC.
