TCC FAQs state TCC is a student-run organization with semester-long projects, weekly training sessions (case interview prep, resume building, frameworks, networking, communication), and that TCC is open to all Temple students (undergraduate and graduate) regardless of major or year. Joining a project team requires applying at the start of each semester through the Project Teams page form, typically with a resume and short responses. Selected applicants are placed by skillsets, preferences, and client needs. Students not placed on a team are still encouraged to attend workshops and training.

General guidance
The guidance below holds for competitive consulting and finance clubs as a category. Confirm dates and steps on the club's own page or with its officers before you rely on them.
- Competitive clubs at most schools recruit once or twice a year, usually early in the fall and sometimes again in the spring. The window is short and often announced only on club channels, so join the mailing lists in your first weeks on campus.
- Club applications usually ask for a resume and short written answers, and interviews usually pair a behavioral conversation with a short case or a market sizing question. Treat it as a first recruiting cycle, because it is one.
- If your school has no consulting or finance club with a real application process, project based experience carries the same weight: student consulting groups, investment funds, case competitions, and research roles.
- Confirm every date and step on the club's own page or with its officers. This dossier adds school specific facts only when an official source supports them.
