To that outcome, Henderson Community College is committed to using suppliers who reflect the diversity of the students attending HCC and the citizens of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The business classifications used by HCC to define diverse suppliers include (but are not limited to): ethnic minority designation such as African-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, Native American or other minority ethnicities. HCC also considers the following as diverse suppliers: businesses owned by women, veterans or individuals with disabilities.

Suppliers wishing to do business with HCC are encouraged to pre-qualify by registering as a new supplier.
