An essential first step in registering for the class is contacting your advisor. All students are assigned an advisor based on their declared major. All students must contact and discuss course options with their academic advisor each semester to select a class schedule for the upcoming semester. Only a student's assigned advisor may register a student for classes through the faculty registration portal. Advising is available through office appointments, online appointments, by email, or by phone. Advisors help you stay on track for graduation requirements and maintain accurate advising guides and progression sheets.

Thomas University's origins date back to 1950 when the Primitive Baptist Church charted the institution as Birdwood Junior College at the winter home of the Honorable W. Cameron Forbes, former Governor-General of the Philippines, Ambassador to Japan and grandson of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Forbes Building, built-in 1932, is one of the original structures on campus and is still in use today. The building's architecture inspired the graphic elements of the TU logo and the design of the new Smith-Bonvillian Hall.
All of our programs are carefully designed to provide our international students with individual attention to help guide them through the program and embark on successful careers. We take great pride in all of our global initiatives, and we believe that international cooperation and exchange can help expand the educational horizons of all students and faculty involved.
