For Immediate Release:
Welcome from the President

Welcome to the Northwest Campus of Tarrant County College District. As you walk through our beautiful campus, you will note that we put students first. We provide a student-centered environment and focus all college staff and resources on student learning, student development, and student success.

At Northwest Campus, students are active partners in the learning process. Students are supported by excellent faculty and staff, but it is up to the student to bring commitment. Commitment means attending classes, setting aside adequate study time, using college support services and arriving with a will to learn.

Whether you come to us from across the street or across the globe, our commitment to quality academic transfer, workforce development, and lifelong learning courses will make a positive difference in your life.

About the Company:
Tarrant County College was established by a countywide election on July 31, 1965, as Tarrant County Junior College, the name change coming in 1999. The South Campus opened in 1967, followed by Northeast (1968), Northwest (1976), Southeast (1996) and Trinity River Campus (2009). The Trinity River Campus East for Health Care Professions opened in downtown Fort Worth, just blocks away from the Trinity River Campus, in the fall of 2011. The College District is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees elected for staggered six-year terms in single member districts.

Enrollment growth has been steady throughout recent years. The South Campus, at 4,772, had the largest opening-day enrollment of any community college in the nation up to that time. Overall credit student enrollment passed the 20,000 mark in 1980 and exceeded 50,000 in the fall of 2011. As of 2012, TCC is the sixth-largest college or university in Texas.
